Caleb I would say I owe you an apology. I am the retard. I was answering Mainacs 64 he asked me a question and I came from FB arguing with UL over opsaks and ursaks. I use an opsak for litter...Yet I met a sobo that used his through the smokeys and had no problem with Bears..Ive also seen people try and test them with can of cat food in them hung on trees to prove or disprove they work.To be honest it does some good but not neerly what people would like or think..

All good.
For what it's worth, I've seen an Ursack destroyed first hand on a trip to Mt Mitchell a few years ago. May have been user error, but it certainly didn't encourage me to buy one.
The Opsack seems like a good idea to reduce the number of animals likely to seek your food out. But I have no personal experience there.
Early in this thread the use of oven bags was mentioned and pretty much dismissed as a hassle given the lack of closure. However I see that self adhesive closures are commonly available on oven bags. So before I go buy and try(air fryer user, so no real home use for the bags), does any one know if the self adhesive bags seal up tightly or are they designed to prevent air tight closing so as to provide venting for cooking?
To me it seems figuring out an air tight seal would make them perfect for hiking purposes, I know they do an amazing job containing odors that defeat glass jars etc.
I can't help but ask this question,if one were using a bear vault would you use any sort of odor proof liner in it other than for storage of your litter which you obviously don't want mixed in with your food?I'm thinking about using mine sometime as it makes a water,rodent,bear proof container and a pretty good stool.
Thanks for clearing this up amongst yourselves. If you could refrain from using the word retard it would be appreciated because it's considered a slur. It mocks people who through no fault of their own have been born with intellectual and sometimes physical disabilities. Numbnut is a somewhat reasonable alternative but try not to go overboard if you please.
