We have lots of critters around Wisconsin, not so much bears but aggressive raccoons, skunks, squirrels.

If I am taking an over night or two night in a state park, would you recommend a bear cannister, and if not how do I carry my food (or do I need to hang it?) and stop the critters from eating my day 2 meals?

Mainly talking about freezerbag cooking (commercial or home made) microwave easy mac, soup in a box (just add water!) and some snackies like Clifbars or jerkey (sealed I hope). There might also be some sugarry product or nuts in a bag at any given time.

My thought was that the ziplocs and commercial bagging will be enough to keep most animals from digging in my stuff, but it wouldn't hurt if I also stored my food in a drysac or something else fairly air tight.

Even if so, where should I store the bag? In a tree? On the ground but not my pack? surrounded by mousetraps?

Feels like there is a simple solution I am not getting.
