1.43 dcf is really tough stuff. 1.1 (HMG Pod) is tough but I feel like would have some durability issues over the course of a thru. It's kinda over the top to "baby" a food bag all the time.
Granted... you can still tape it up if a mouse chewed through it.
But no, if your not hanging your food, then DCF doesnt really offer any advantage over something else. Its also not any lighter at that point.
A .51 or .75 dcf stuff sack for food would die an early death for sure.
I think if your sleeping with your food, why not use OPsaks?
Dollar for dollar... A HMG pod cost $60 full retail. That's 10 12x20 Opsaks. I believe the 10 OPsaks would outlast the pod for sure.
