Anybody else out there have any experience with Ursacks (those kevlar stuff sacks for food)? I have been using them as an alternative to hanging food or stashing a duluth pack in the woods for the last couple trips, but can't decide if it's worth it. When traveling every day I tend not to take the time to hang food, although I never leave it in camp either. Using the Ursacks are a little more bother than regular stuff sacks for food since I have to put everything in 1 or 2 sacks (since the Ursack's are quite expensive), as opposed to as many stuff sacks as I want, for organization's sake. Really does seem to keep squirels out, although I haven't had a bear try their paw on them.
