Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Ursack failure near Mammoth Lakes

Edit July, 2021: This post was made in 2012, and the Ursack was a model from 2011 or earlier.
It is NOT ok to use these pictures to condemn currently available Ursacks.
They are way stronger, and have passed tests with actual bears trying to get into them.

Here's why Inyo N.F. doesn't want anyone using an Ursack in bear habitat. These are recent pictures from an Ursack Attack near Mammoth Lakes.











Edit/Update: These pictures were provided to me by staff from Inyo National Forest. They did not provide any information as to the circumstances surrounding the incident, or who owned the Ursack that was damaged.

See below (Post id 32252) for a response from the owner/inventor of Ursack. (July, 2013)

Also, good news April, 2014: Ursack passed the IGBC test
