When backpacking through a forest or anywhere in the wilderness, where should one keep their food at night?

One of the first things I have learned when camping/backpacking is to never keep any kind of food inside your tent at all. If so, and one is backpacking, say through the Rockies, then where should you put your food when you are not hiking?
Any recommendations for a good backpacking trip in Ventana Wilderness?

I’m looking to do a weekend backpacking trip in the Ventana Wildeness. I’d like to find a scenic trail (maybe 5 miles one way) and nice place to camp. I’m not looking for a crowded, overused campground. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

They have a wide range of African holiday destinations and tours to suit your needs and more importantly budget. It can be a guided tour through Namibia, or a luxury safari camp in South Africa. However they still take great pride in providing their customers with the ultimate African aafari experience. The game lodges and safari camps that are used for their itineraries are all small and also offer the best African bush experience, wonderful game viewing, high standards of service and probably the most important, a holiday that you will forever remember. Some of the safaris that they have to offer include Botswana safari camps and game Lodges, with Botswana being Southern Africa’s largest and authentic wilderness.
Next there is South Africa Safaris, Tours and Private Game Reserves which has Africa’s most famous game reserve Kruger National Park. Mozambique Safaris and Tours is a great package, the Mozambique coastline is a diving, deep sea fishing and snorkeling paradise. The shallow, crystal clear waters of Mozambique pulse with marine life including soft corals, starfish, anemones, seahorses and a wide range of beautiful fish.
Finally there is the Zimbabwe Holiday Destinations and Tours. They have a high range of diversity and attractions available and this makes Zimbabwe one of the prime African Safari Destinations. Victoria Falls happens to be Zimbabwe’s foremost attraction. This happens to be the world’s largest waterfall, 1700 meters wide plunging 100 meters down.

One of the most famous events that occur on the Serengeti is the wildebeest migration. Every year, about two million animals move around the 14,764-square kilometer ecosystem in a clockwise direction, looking for good grazing land and water. These animals are closely followed by predators.
You can spend your time among lions, elephants, cheetahs, impala, hyena, and warthogs. You’ll sit at a campfire under the African sky, which is home to millions of stars. You can experience the unchanged Africa, exploring historic and exotic places. You will see amazing sunsets and landscape and be hosted by open-hearted people.
When you go to Kenya you can begin your own adventures by traveling as an observer or participating in the many opportunities to see exotic wildlife and natural wonders. You can explore archaeological sites and antiquities. There are also many calm waterways and architectural marvels to be seen and experienced.
Some have described Kenya as having everything that is beautiful in Africa. It has rolling savannahs, icy peaks on Mount Kenya, and the white coral beaches of the Indian Ocean. There are holidays of all types, such as camel safaris in Samburu land. You can participate in walking safaris for bird-watching or go golfing and fishing. You may choose to visit Maasai Mara, where thousands of wildebeest and zebra migrate in July and August. This is an exciting sight for visitors. The coast of Kenya provides many attractions, and Lamu Island has white sand beaches with archaeological sites providing a view into pre-colonial African history. Malindi offers good fishing, surfing, and snorkeling.
Just because you are on safari doesn’t mean you’ll have to stay in canvas tents. There are also numerous hotels, game lodges, tree hotels, and self-catering chalets. All of these venues offer rest rooms, clean beds, and fine dining. There are good modern roads that connect one exciting location to another, and most parks and reserves are easily accessed, so you can see big game.
You can hire cars, motor coaches and luxury minibuses for transportation, as well as air services with sophisticated charter networks. One of the best journeys runs from Nairobi to Mombasa.
East Africa is a great place to visit all year long. Each season has its own charm, and each area offers wonderful moments. Visit your travel agent to design a trip suitable for you and to get the best deals on airfare, accommodations, tour guides, transportation, and more.
