>>2595374When I’m backpacking I keep a dedicated 25’ for hanging, though I usually use it as a clothesline. That’s high enough for rodents and convenient for hanging things. The only area I frequent that has any bears is GSMNP, which has designated sites and bear hanging cables. 25’ isn’t quite long enough for a PCT bear hang.
When I’m camping I keep 200’ of polyester rope in a big box with assorted stuff. Comes in handy for various things.
