i just use my sleeping bag stuff sack, since by the time i've got my food 
ready to hang, my bag is usually out.  i carry my food in my pack in a 
plastic shopping bag and just put this whole thing in my stuff sack.  
works great unless i have TONS of food.  in that case it's just time to 
eat some more. :0)
