Bears and clothing worn while preparing or eating meals

Hi,

Getting ready to leave and trying to ensure that potential bear encounters are as brief and painless as possible.

NY state guidelines for Reducing Human-Bear Conflicts suggest that we "do not wear clothing to bed that was worn while preparing or eating meals."

It's under the Camping heading and not under the Backcountry heading. However, any bear mitigation techniques would seem to apply in the Eastern High Peaks if they apply anywhere.

How seriously do you take this guideline? I suspect not very? From the trip reports I've read it seems like some people don't bring any extra clothing at all, just layers to add and remove as necessary.

So do you sleep in the clothes you cook in? Do you put them in freezer bags and store in a pack? If so, do you keep the pack in your lean-to or tent? Or just outside?

I can't imagine anyone is hanging a pack with clothes while using a bear canister for their food and scented items?

Is the guideline something that needs to be considered?

Thanks,
