Hello: After my daughter left for Nanjing taking the clipn"seal with her we got infested by about 10 mice in sequence. They hit the Opsak and chewed thru to get nothing, but obviously detected our handling of it on the outside despite being careful-gloves etc. I'm beginning to think better think one use although Nylofume and metallized bags are out there.Then again Hunger is an Implacable Foe.
Feb 13, 2012 at 7:40 pm #1839128Thanks Sam and John for your responses. Sam, your response about not needing to hang the pack is exactly what I'm wanting. I've always wondered how the people that use their packs as part of their sleep system do that and not worry about attracting animals. Maybe they just risk it. Would black bears be more or less likely to be able to smell the remnants of food vapors on your clothes than grizzlies?

The way I understand it, bears have a sense of smell much better than we usually even comprehend. They don't just smell food, they can smell how there is. With food vapor remnants they just won't bother.
