Ok so I have read a few different threads that mentioned different things to do in Black Bear country. A few questions I have.

1. People eat away from their camp, Why afraid of dropping food on the ground for critters to smell?

2. Why not just cook right at the camp fire or if no camp fire under your tarp on an alchly stove?

3. How high do you hang your bear bag and how far away?

That's my three main questions. I understand it's good to be careful but sometime people seem to go too far lol.
