Review on Ursack Major 2XL Bear Backpack by Josh Long

Revainrating 1 out of 5

For the Birds!: Hiking Packs

I toured the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. We decided to pack our food in an odor proof opsack and then in an ursack and tie it to a tree per ursack's instructions while we briefly walked down to the beach. I forgot something and came back in less than 10 minutes. I came and saw Raven sitting on a bag with a big hole through which he pulled out a backpack and food. Two other crows sat side by side on a bench. There were several small holes in the pocket. A bird's beak can't be very different from a bear's claw. I doubt it is protected from bears and certainly not from birds. If I had been gone longer, the birds would have eaten all our food. I do not recommend.

Pros
  • Waterproof (seal the seams or they may leak)
Cons
  • Troubleshooting
