Litetrail nylobarrier bags

There was recently a group buy amongst BPLrs. Did you need some?

I don't know about the Litetrail product but I have 100 Nylofume 20×36 bags that I will break up and offer in blocks of 10 on Gear Swap. They should arrive on Thursday so check Gear Swap on Friday or PM me.

These bags were penetrated by wildlife when hung in a nearby forest: Opsaks have yet to fail when used with clip'n seal clips in over five years of use. The bears are out this year. Had to spread coyote urine granules to get them out of the back yard: Sorry about the image quality. Wasn't about to crack a window when he was only a few feet away.

"These bags were penetrated by wildlife when hung in a nearby forest: LiteTrail Breach" That doesn't tell us much at all about possible contributing factors like whether the bag was sealed properly, whether the camper's hands were clean when handling the bag, whether the hang was properly executed. A system is only as good as the person using it. "Opsaks have yet to fail when used with clip'n seal clips in over five years of use." That you can't find a report doesn't mean they haven't failed, for the same reasons listed above. I'd be more interested in comparative rates of failure, both in the field and under controlled conditions, than in anecdotes which can be cherry picked to support one's personal point of view. I've used both and never had a failure with either, primarily I suspect because I very seldom encounter bears, but in the end have found the Nylofume bags far easier to use. It boils down to personal preference, IMO.

I too needed some new Nylobarrier bags but couldn’t find them. I did some research and found these instead: Base Camp Odor-Barrier bags. For just $5 shipped I figured I couldn’t go wrong (look in the sidebar for the ones sold by Amazon as an add-on item). I haven’t used them in the field yet, but they seem sturdy. They have a video on YouTube of a captive bear test, though of course without outside verification I have no idea whether it was “creatively” edited.
