Apologies for being off topic again (not on panniers), but a couple weeks ago in this thread there was a brief disagreement about hanging food to keep it away from bears. I do not want to re-litigate that argument here, but I recently saw a good article on camping in areas with black bears (NOT grizzlies), and bear precautions.
