Delmar,
How is the strength around a puncture or tear?
Some bags you can sit on, but a pin hole will propagate the length of the bag in a flash.
– Puncture resistance surprisingly high; difficult to get a ball-point pen tip to puncture it. (My test pen didn't actually puncture the wall, it just made a hernia in the plastic).
– Initial tear resistance excellent (I could not start a tear with my hands, and didn't feel I even came close).
– Once a cut has been started with scissors, then the follow-on tear is relatively easy.
Give it a try and let me know what you think. I recommend the Hickory Barbeque, and remember, you're eating them for science and the benefit of your fellow BPL'ers.
Laminate it with Kevlar.

If DuPont made potato chips, I certainly would.
Baked???!! Do the chips taste good? Where's the grease? Add it yourself? AYOG!
And salt? AYOGAS, then.

Retro Racing Character, Built for Everyday WearDrawing on the colorful racing chronographs of the 1960s and '70s, the RS1 Rally pairs vintage motorsport style with the durability expected from a Vaer. Its 40mm case houses a Japanese VK63 meca-quartz chronograph movement, complete with stopwatch functionality and an integrated tachymeter scale, while contrasting subdials give the watch its distinctive retro character. Sapphire crystal, 100 meters of water resistance, a screwdown crown, and strong BGW9 lume make it far more than a style piece. At under $300, it's an easy pick for the car enthusiast or chronograph fan.
