The Ursack is legal in Inyo NF, which includes large areas of John Muir and Ansel Adams wilderness, especially around the Mammoth area (between Yosemite and SEKI). Its worth buying an Ursack for those kind of trips, if you have the money and go to those areas.

I wouldn't worry about the Bear Vault not working. They changed the lid years ago and its hard enough for a human to open. smile
