I take it you have to be especially careful to avoid spills, but won't the smell of food linger? Do you still hang your smellables away from the tent?

I guess there aren't many options, huh?

I will likely do most of my backpacking in the northeast, probably in the Adirondacks, so I won't have to worry about grizzlies. But there are plenty of black bears in the Adirondacks.

Thanks for the info, I really am a raw newb, so everything is really new to me.
