Rodent Proof Bear Bags - Ultralight Stainless Steel Mesh Bag for Camping Food Storage - Sturdy and Rust-Resistant Sack with Lock and Grommet For Easy Hanging

I ordered the Medium sized rat sack and it was perfectly sturdy, the velcro was very rugged and durable and the Medium size was perfect for everything I had to store in it! It was really lightweight and the weight was not an issue for backpacking. I also rolled the sack around a towel so as in case the sack did not rip or tear anything else inside my backpack. We just had a great time in Havasupai Falls and overnight I slept well knowing my food was going to be safe!

I'm impressed with how tough this thing is, and I totally see why it has to be. I've never backpacked through a rodent-lousy area before, and I have high hopes that this thing will do the job. The sack itself is very tough, and the Velcro is strong as heck. Grand Canyon, here I come!

needed a way too keep my food safe from the critters at camp! Used this and had no problem! It’s very durable mesh wire to keep your food safe! Please note this is not a bear safe product!

I took this out to an area in Texas that doesn't have bears, but does have racoons. In the middle of the night a racoon decided to feast on my food, except it couldn't get into the rat sack. It tried so hard, it actually swung from the bag! I had to get up, tie a new line bt 2 trees and hang the bag in the middle before it left the bag alone. The bag is sturdy, there are no holes and kept my food safe.You can tell where the racoon tried to get into the bag. I fear that it may not hold up if another racoon is just as determined. There are 2 places that look stretched out and one of those 2 spots the loop is larger then the rest.Overall I'm satisfied with the product, it did what it was supposed to do.

We used this in havasupai. This worked greatto keep the rodents away.

I have done a couple of multi-day hikes into the Grand Canyon. On the first hike, I saw a squirrel tear through the brain pocket of a pack and steal trail mix and black birds pull nuts out of a side pocket of another pack. With that knowledge, and knowing that the camping locations for our second hike would not provide metal ammo cans for food storage, we purchased this mesh sack to store our food at night. On our second hike, we came across a couple who had left their food, double bagged, and in "odor-proof" ziplock style bags, for about 10 minutes. they came back to find 12-15 black birds tearing through the bags and flying off with their food. We ended up giving them some of our "extra" rations because their supplies were completely destroyed or stolen.We camped a couple of hundred meters down from this couple and everyone in our group used the ratsacks (placing them off the ground in bushes) to store our food. None of us had any issues with birds, squirrels, or any other animals getting into our food. The next night, we did not have the options to have the food up off the ground, and could hear rodents of some sort, but no one experienced any issues with food being stolen or destroyed.These sacks are TOTALLY worth it and serve their purpose effectively.

It kept small critters away from our food. Loved that it held a lot ( 3 full gallon ziplocks with room to spare)! You really had to work to get into it so may not be a good choice if you have hand strength issues. Hanging point worked well, allowing easy access to contents. Not sure why it has bear in the advertising as this seems primarily for rodents, birds etc.

Very sturdy and durable which is what your looking for if this is for food storage for car camping or a long term bush camp. This is NOT for hiking and backpacking. The rigidity and inability to compress does not make for a good option for hiking. The size isn’t bad but when trying to section hike or thru hike there are lighter options at the same price.
