So far, so good. Was the right size for easily storing food for a group of 6 for an overnighter with room to spare and not feeling as though I over stuffed it. It did seem that the strings could have been a tad longer… but that was just likely a result of the tree I choose to tie it to. Beat the heck out or running a bear hang ! Totally worth the investment.
Tough, lighweight, easy to use. I used this on a trip to the boundary water canoe wilderness in August 2025. We didn’t have any bears that we know of. Bear proof food storage or hanging food is required in the BWCA. We had no issues. I will say when it suggests how much food it can hold, it must be talking about dehydrated, backpacking food. That is certainly not the kind of food we bring on our trips. But it worked for us. We also used a secondary bear storage container as well. I did buy scent proof plastic bags to store the food in inside of the Ursack.The ursack site was apparently sold out.
Let my dog have a go at it, very tear resistant.
Hopefully this works based off the new regulations for the BWCAW.
This is a huge bag--exactly what I wanted! I'm so tired of trying to pack 10 days of food into a Bear Vault and so I wanted a bag that would carry tons of food. This is it! I figure it'll be good for 2 weeks worth on river trips (and I wouldn't likely carry that much food backpacking). It seems beefy in construction. I haven't had a chance to use it yet. I think my mode will be to pack food in a few different lightweight stuffsacks in my pack and once at the campsite, pack all the food into the Ursack for overnight safe storage. I actually briefly considered trying to make a bear resistant bag myself and did lots of research to find Kevlar fabric, etc. In the end, this bag was sooo much easier to justify purchasing.
