There are many ways while some sleep with food bag.

I'd say it's the best evenings entertainment, watching people trying to throw a rope over the "right" branch. Well, maybe a camp fire could be the best but bear hangers have to be a close second.

Agreed. My wife stops everything and breaks out the video camera every time.
