Bee, those are obsolete Ursack models. The latest is the S29 All White weighing 7.3 ounces. Not that it matters. I'm betting on the Grizzly if it's left on the ground where the knot is vulnerable. The fabric will be fine. This design needs the knot protected by tying off to a tree or rock.

I hope I lose my bet. Have a bad day, Grizzly.

That article is helpful, but it almost five years old. The Bearikade Weekender is now $262 (Ouch!), not $225.

If human error is considered for one product, then human error should be part of the test protocol for all competing products. How to do that fairly is a tough question. That's my $0.02, keep the change and good luck Ursack. Someone should stuff that Grizzly full of hot dogs just before the test. Can you actually fill up a Grizzly? smile


That is the reason I got rid of both of my Bear Vaults...solo and multiday...as have most of by backpacking friends.

They were near impossible to open when moisture got into the thread area and froze overnight.
