I will be backpacking the JMT next month and know I need to keep my food, sunscreen, toothpaste etc in the bear container.
However I also read in some other posts that I also need to keep my dirty clothes outside of my tent and backpack and away from the tent at night. and that I should empty my backpack and keep all the flaps open and store it away from the tent site? Is this necessary or overkill. What happens if it rains at night and I have my gear all spread out and not under the rain fly?
Any input would be appreciated
Thanks
