WNC > 10th Annual John Rock Hang: July 25-28, 2019.

Yes that was Kevins Pelican cooler.

Never again. I actually did it three years in a row. One year I even brought Michelle’s big cooler up,too.
Creek is cool. Last year I just left the cooler in the truck and made a daily trip down to get what I needed for the day. I will stick to that routine this year.

I always hung mine on HB's Ridge line.

Not as bad as what HB left under RF’s tarp!

Chris I don't ever recall or heard of any bears coming through camp, but never know huh?

I guess I’ve spent as much time in that area as anyone. It’s one of the few places that I hike and camp that I can’t recall ever seeing a bear. I have seen one closer to John Rock. Not as many blueberries where we camp.

Glad you can make it Ken, hope you bring the coffee.

Hangers beware that no ridgeline is safe.

Yes I also learned the best way is to make daily trips down the hill and resupply. I have a yeti hopper that I will be bringing up on my second trip.

Dave last year I was in that area and no bear canisters were required.

Agreed no bear canister required.
I typically hang my food but sometimes sleep with it. Many AT thru hikers sleep with their food.

I never really thought about it. Live and learn!
