I hear you but will put myself in the category of unqualified hanger
Got it, I was going to suggest this but there are lots of places with poor tree choices. And it can take some practice to getting the food rope thing figured out. I use two ropes, one or two pulleys, works well for me but some people can't figure it out.
Photo is solo backpacking in black bear country, did not have much food weight so I only used 1/8 inch (about 4mm) line and some small dry bags that were color coded for meals.
