The PCT method is the one most commonly used-- check out Youtube directions.

FWIW, in Colorado (except RMNP) I just use a simple stuff sack and OPSacks (Odor proof bags). I put the food in the Opsacks and then just shove them in a stuff sack. When at camp, I hang via the PCT method if possible. If I am above treeline then I feel fairly confident in just sleeping with my food.
