Pretty much what I do in the Sierra where canisters aren't required (geographically at least, the majority of the range). I've always managed to find a tree, tree branch or downed snag to tie to. It's actually a big time-saver compared to hanging, which always seems to involve a sub-optimal tree.

Cheers,

(It never had before, but it is one of those unfounded fears I carry).
