    Wouldn’t that bag just mean the bear made mush of your food but couldn’t actually eat it? Or is it intended to be hung only and not left on the ground? I’m def intrigued

    the IGBC (international grizzly bear committee) recognizes it as a certified container, can't imagine the NPS will be far behind

    i was intrigued for sure. maybe the ursack + hanging i would feel comfortable. still seems a little sketchy leaving our food in fabric....even if it is bulletproof fabric...

    they recommend a certain way to tie it closed and then it can be left anywhere but it is recommended to anchor is somehow - tie it to a tree, etc

    That’s what I’m asking.. how would the bag prevent the food inside from becoming a pile of mush after a bear gnaws on it for a bit?

    nothing really. but the bear supposed cant tear into the bag and retrieve the food easily. like i said, i'm not sold on it but it seems like a reasonable option if you take the extra precaution of hangin it along with the rest of your gear. definitely a lot lighter and packable than the plastic bear kegs.

    Yea I’ve always been a bear hang kind of guy rather than the canisters. It would be great fir suspending it from a tree. But leaving it on the ground sounds insane to me lol

    here the bear hang isn't always an option - plenty of places above the tree line here. most backcountry sites in national parks will have a steel pole for such purpose but if you're out on your own in FS territory you could be left with the option of wedging your bear keg between some boulders 100 yards from camp

    It doesn't, you get all of your food chewed to bits, mostly inedible, and the bear is not rewarded. Maybe it will learn that URSaks aren't worth the effort. humph!

    Just my opinion and I own one.

    Yea I guided in the Appalachian mountains for years so I have little experience with the bear canisters because a 12 foot up-10 foot out bear hang is pretty effective out here with the black bears. I have no experience out west

    It's definitely intended to be hung but i remember it being because of rodents; they were able to to get through.
