I am new to LW and UL backpacking and love the info on this site.
I see that it is suggested to use a small pad with your pack as lower leg/foot insulation. However, also being new to bear country everything I read says not to bring your pack into a tent/tarp, etc…
So for those ULer's in bear country what are your thoughts? I realize the fine creators of this site are from my backyard so I assume they must use the techniques they teach.
