I've been looking at the PCT bear bagging method. We will have two food bags on our trip, and I'm wondering if you can do two bags with this method on the same line, or am I better off doing the counterbalance method?

The PCT method works fine with two bags, or three...if you have a sturdy
branch.

I commonly hang two bags from my line, and I've seen many others hang more, just keep in mind that it gets tough to hoist the bags up the more you load on there, and if you have a flimsy branch it will bend downward under pressure and you may need to put up the bags with a stick or trekking pole.
