okay, so I know bears are supposed to be hibernating this time of year. my question is what is the protocol for food storage in grizzly country during the winter? I assumed it was nil and recently ignored food storage warnings in GTNP because of it. However, upon thinking about this and reading a couple pages on here, it seems like there is some concern. pages advising hikers to store food, hang, take every precaution during winter as a bear may be out stretching their legs...
what say you summitpost?
