Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion How to leave stuff at Trail camp

I am guessing MOST people are leaving their gear at Trail camp when attempting the summit so are there particular tips to pack/leave gear so that:

1) It will not be stolen (unlikely I think but who knows!)
2) It will not be swept away by wind

What I plan to leave at Trail camp:
My daypack with - bear canister, any remaining food, my backpack, tent, sleeping bag and a few other odds and ends...

For 2) I am planning to pack down everything, i.e. pack my tent and just leave my big backpack adjacent to a stone and weigh it down with something. Then I will just carry my 22L daypack to the summit.
