| How to Hang a Bear Bag Posted: 24 May 2019 09:00 AM PDT When you're setting up your campsite, one of the first things you'll want to do is hang a bear bag to protect your food and campsite from bears and other wild animals. Fill a waterproof nylon sack with your food, trash, and heavily scented items such as sunscreen, bug spray, or toothpaste. Start hanging your bag early in the day so you have plenty of light and plenty of time for re-dos. If you don't have much to hang, the Pacific Crest Trail or PCT method works best. If you have a lot of food, the Counterbalance method is best because it uses two bags. EditHanging a Single Bag with the PCT Method - Choose a spot to hang your bag. Aim for something at least away from your sleeping and cooking area. Your setup should be in the form of a triangle, with both the bear bag and cooking area downwind from your tent so the wind doesn't blow the scent of food towards your campground.[1]
- If you're in an area with a high grizzly bear population, aim for a spot at least away from your campsite.
- Find a tree with a strong trunk and a high branch. This method requires a higher branch because the rope isn't secured to the tree, so the bag will drop a bit when you release it. The branch should be at least from the ground. Make sure the branch extends at least away from the base of the tree. [2]
- This method is more bear-safe than tying the rope to the tree. Because the bag hangs from the tree, bears can't slash at your rope and drop your bag.
- Pine forests are great for this method because there are a lot of large trees with overhanging branches.
- Throw your rope over the branch. Tie a rock to a length of nylon cord to weight your rope. Wrap the cord around it tightly several times before knotting to make sure it's secure. Carefully toss the end of the rope tied to the rock over the branch, and let the weight of the rock pull the rope down. Untie the rock and hold onto both ends of the rope.[3]
- Instead of a rock, you can also use a small bag or old sock filled with gravel as a weight.
- Attach your bear bag to the rope. Attach a carabiner onto one end of the rope, and then clip the carabiner to your bear bag. Feed the loose end of the rope through the carabiner. Pull on the loose end of the rope to raise your bag up to the tree branch.[4]
- Make a toggle. Find a small stick, and tie it onto the rope as high as you can using a clove hitch knot. When you let go, the stick will jam in the carabiner, anchoring the bag in place. [5]
- When the bag is hung correctly, it should hang at least from the ground and away from the trunk of the tree.
- Place any items you may need to use regularly like toiletries in a small bag clipped to the toggle for easy access.
EditHanging Two Bags with the Counterbalance Method - Find a tree with a live branch. Make sure the branch is at least off the ground,and extends at least away from the tree. You want a branch that's at least in diameter at the spot where you're going to place the rope.[6]
- Check below the branch for other branches that could support a bear's weight.
- Toss your rope over the branch. Use enough rope to go over the branch and hang over the other side. Pull on the short end until both ends are near the ground. [7]
- Attach the first bag. Split your bear bag items into two bags, and tie one end of the rope to one of your bags. If your bag has a strap, loop, or drawstring, attach a carabiner to the bag and tie the rope to the carabiner. Pull on the loose end of the rope to raise the bag as high as it will go.
- Make sure the weight distribution is equal between the bags so they will counterbalance each other effectively.
- Attach the second bag. Ask a friend to hold the rope in place so the first bag stays in the air. Tie the second bag onto the other side of the rope. Attach the bag as high on the rope as you can reach. [8]
- Use the extra rope to create a loop that you can use as a handle to retrieve your bags later on with a long stick.
- Let go of both ends of the rope. The weight of the second bag will cause the first bag to drop and will pull the second bag off the ground. The second bag should be nearly at a level height with the first bag.
- Push the second bag out of reach. Using a long stick or hiking pole, push on the bottom of the second bag to raise it higher in the air. This will lower the first bag somewhat. Keep pushing until both bags are level with each other, and are at least above the ground.[9]
- Always take your food with you when you leave your campsite.
- If you're currently menstruating, make sure you include your used tampons in your bear bag.
- Canned food can be left out as the can blocks the scent of the food
EditThings You'll Need - At least of lightweight nylon cord
- Waterproof nylon stuff sacks for your food, garbage, and scented items
- Two carabiners

| How to Use Jojoba Oil on Your Face Posted: 24 May 2019 01:00 AM PDT Jojoba oil is derived from the jojoba plant, native to North America. The oil from the plant is waxy, and it can help provide healing and hydration to your face and skin. It makes a great all-natural moisturizer, but you can also use it as an acne treatment, lip balm, or a makeup remover. EditApplying Jojoba Oil as a Moisturizer - Patch test the oil first to make sure you don't react to it. Place a couple of drops of jojoba oil on your inner arm and put a bandage over it. After 24 hours, remove the bandage and examine the area. If your skin isn't itchy, red, or broken out, you can safely use jojoba oil.[1]
- Doing a patch test helps ensure you don't end up with your face broken out in hives!
- Warm up the oil for extra absorption. Heat a small amount of oil in the microwave for a few seconds. Alternatively, place the bottle in a warm water bath for a few minutes. The warmth will feel great on your face at night, and it will aid in hydration.[2]
- Warm oil will help open your pores, increasing absorption.
- Rub the moisturizer in before bed. Remove your makeup first, if you have any on, and wash your face and your hands thoroughly. Then, pour 5-8 drops of jojoba oil into your hand. Gently rub the oil into your face before you get into bed.[3]
- Add a few more drops if the first dollop doesn't cover your face completely.
- Put the oil on before you go out in the winter. While jojoba oil doesn't provide a layer of external protection like petroleum or lanolin, it does help seal in moisture. Rub it into your face before going outside, especially when it's cold out, and you'll have solid protection against the wind and weather, keeping your skin naturally hydrated.[4]
- Try a moisturizer with jojoba oil as an ingredient for more hydration. Many moisturizers contain three types of ingredients, emollients, occlusives, and humectants. Choosing a moisturizer that contains at least 2 out of 3 of these types of ingredients can help keep your skin hydrated. Jojoba oil is an emollient, which means it bonds with your skin to hold in moisture. Look for moisturizers that have this ingredient along with other types of moisturizers.[5]
- Occlusives, such as lanolin or beeswax, form a barrier over your skin, while humectants, such as glycerin and sorbitol, draw water to the outer layer of your skin.
EditUsing Jojoba Oil to Heal Your Skin - Try a clay mask with jojoba oil 2-3 times a week for acne. Apply the clay mask to your face according to the directions on the package. Typically, you rub it onto your face and leave it on for a specified amount of time, such as 10 minutes, before washing it off. Some people see as much as a 50% reduction in acne after consistently using a clay mask with jojoba oil.[6]
- Continue to use this treatment for at least 6 weeks to see the best results.
- Apply the oil over eczema or psoriasis. Some people have good luck using this type of oil for skin conditions. To use it, just apply it over the inflamed patch of skin 2-3 times a day or whenever the area is bothering you.[7]
- It will likely help with the dryness and itching. It may also reduce inflammation.
- Dab jojoba oil on your face when you have a sunburn. Jojoba oil has anti-inflammatory and healing properties, which is why some people use it for sunburn. Gently apply it to your burned face to help with healing.[8]
- Try mixing it with a little aloe vera for extra healing power.
- Try jojoba oil as a lip balm to heal cracked lips. Because jojoba oil helps keep moisture in, it works great as a lip palm. Just get a little on your finger and rub it all over your lips whenever you feel them getting dry.[9]
- Apply the oil throughout the day as needed.
EditEmploying Jojoba Oil's Other Benefits - Rub jojoba oil into your face before or after you shave. This can be a great way to soothe your skin and help prevent razor burn on your face. Simply pour a little in your hand and rub into your skin before you shave. After shaving, rub it into your skin again to encourage happy, healthy skin.[10]
- Use jojoba oil to remove oil-based makeup. Oily makeups can be tough to remove, but using an oil can be just what you need. Apply a little to a facial cloth and gently wipe at your makeup to take it off.[11]
- Jojoba oil works fairly well at dissolving most oily makeups. Plus, you can safely use it around your eyes!
- Apply jojoba to reduce oil on your skin. Oddly, using an oil like jojoba can slow down your natural oil production. If your skin overproduces oil, try using jojoba oil as a moisturizer for a few weeks to see if it helps reduce your natural oiliness.[12]
- This oil is also great for combination skin! It helps cut down on shine.[13]
