I was wondering if I could use it to provide stiffness to the pack, like some folks use a pad to add rigidity to their pack? I have a bear canister, but it takes up lots of room in my pack. I'd rather carry an ursack, but I'd also rather not have the protection the metal provides, but not have thing be as bulky in my pack as an usrack is.
