Looks like the bag was already shredded pretty thoroughly…
I got a big kick out of that. Why did they use such a heavy rope? And nice bright yellow! And no drop on the bag. It looked more like bear bait than a bear hang to me.
Sounds like the same chuckleheads that throw marshmallows at the state park raccoons, then complain about getting their camp raided.
That's weird, similar post on portlandhikers.org, slightly different youtube:

It's from Garretbrosoutfitting.com from Alberta Canada. They do black bear hunting among other things. Beaver skins hanging from rope.
Wow I had no idea bears were that strong. To be able to support his own weight for that long on a tiny string is nuts.
