Bear Resistant Food Bags
Wiki’s characteristics of bear - Common characteristics of bears include a short tail, acute senses of smell and hearing, a snubbed nose, five non-retractable claws per paw, and long, dense, shaggy fur. Its strength of smell detection is one of the best in the animal kingdom. Many campers often feel deprived of their food stash, thanks to bears who steal food.
Ursack has introduced a bear resistant food bag made of bullet proof fabric. These bags can accomodate 650 cubic inches of pack space and weighs 8 ounces. They come in camouflage green colors like the military. Ursack needs to be tied from a tree or a strong branch which can withhold bear tugs. If a tree is unavailable, tie them from a stone ledge something that can withhold the bear’s strength.
Keep any food item that could leak in a plastic bag inside URSACK. Even though a bear may not be able to penetrate URSACK, he may be able to crush the contents. If URSACK does get crushed, there won’t be a “food reward” that can be licked from the outside.
Watch some videos of bears trying to get a snack from Ursack.
