I personally like the idea of the Ursack. I don't live in grizzly territory and we have hung our food for 34 of my 52 years on this earth. Rigging a correct bear bag hang IS a PIA. I usually use an odor liner bag so migrating to the Ursack seems like a no brainer. And a sidenote; I've had far more issues with coons and mice than with bears ever. They(Ursack) make a critter bag which is lighter and of a finer weave. The high peaks region of the Adirondacks requires the use of a vault so we don't go there any more. (I hate those bulky heavy canisters) We hike/camp around the high peaks instead, hanging our food. The only problems we've seen with black bears are the ones humans have created in dumps &residential areas where bears have learned to equate humans with food. in the backwoods & mountains they are like hen's teeth; usually more scared of you than you are of them.

SandmanBravo" they are like hen's teeth; usually more scared of you than you are of them." If They were the ones with the high-powered, scoped, hunting rifles, it might be the other way around. One can only hope, since it is we who are the Invasive Species.
