They are to hang your food bag and even other stuff on mice don't chew your food bag and other stuff. Often you'll see them with a tin can lid with the line going through a hole in the middle of the lid so they can't climb the string as well.

^ this. But to be honest, they don't work all that well. Shelter mice are little acrobats.

Its a way for people to avoid packing out their trash. They bring their canned goods to the shelter and hang the can up on a string when they're done so they don't have to carry it with them when they leave.

^ that. Makes the bears walk upright to get to the food bags too. They're cuter when they walk on their hind legs. :rolleyes: ;)

they are called "offering" ropes, where we offer up our food supplies to the native fauna. this helps placate the wildlife, to ensure they wont eat through our packs.
