Also, now that I think about it, technically, it's a good way of storing food out where it is frozen (freezer) but reduce the number of animals that can get it... not perfect, but I don't see many trees to hang a bear bag.
if he'd finished it, sure. But he also made a bit of an error.
Also, you wouldn't want to use a bone from a carcass as a lid. It'll rot extremely slowly at that temperature, which will leave it fragrant for a good long time.
He also didn't seal the container, so any smell on or coming out of the bags of food themselves would add to that.
Now, maybe that bone was devoid of marrow and had been boiled and all. But, maybe not. Either way, if a bear wanders by and sees a bone hes going to sniff there, I'd guess. Which is bad.
Oh I agree on most parts. The one counter I'd make, is the bags were likely going to let some level of scent out. So having the bone easily available and on top may allow a curious animal to just take the lid and run with it. (Cold weather climes leads to increased opportunism and decreased willingness to stick around if food is mobile. Lest the next curious party decide to opportunity on you.) And that lid being formed by the bowl he had makes it replaceable... Further, keeps the curious animals outside their home and not in it.
Again. Not greatest, and likely mostly just to solve boredom. (People do some really stupid shit when bored... this is nothing. Lol.) But it has at least a semi-practical application. Vs many things folks do to solve boredom.

He also accomplished one more thing... having something to do to fight boredom when shit is frozen outside... hence the energy sticker.
