Bear bag – what sack are you using?

I don't depend on the bag to block odor, I use odor proof saks from Watchful Eye. However, these are delicate, therefore I put these in an ordinary nylon stuff sack made with 1.1 oz ripstop.

I generally use a white plastic bag from Walmart or Target. If you hang it high enough and far enough away from the trunk, it really doesn't matter.

Tried a RatSack; tried an Ursack; even tried an MSR Stowaway pot that latches down to form a waterproof seal. All are good, but are bulky, expensive, and heavy. Cheap plastic bags perform their function and are FREE and very light. Have to tie it up in a knot if it rains, but have never had my new bag invaded. So I get a little extra use before I recycle.

900 c.i. OR Helium sack. Weighs 1.1 oz. I hang it upside down to prevent precip collection as the cordlock closure is not waterproof.

1) I use a homemade silnylon stuff sack.

2) It weighs 0.4 oz

3) My food is all packaged in ziploc bags. I don't do anything special to try and reduce smell.

Check out the Large "Blast" Food Bag. Great price on a Cuben item and great service from the site.

I'm trying one out this weekend.

Joe (of Z-packs fame) recently made me a cuben food/bear bag. It has worked great so far and, as always, service was great!

Integral Designs Silcoat Stuff Sack XL (1.3 oz) Yellow for visibility.

I use my home made 2.3 oz silnylon pack cover. I really like it because number one, you're multi tasking a piece of gear, and #2, when it comes to meal time, it spreads out nice so you can find things easier.
