Ultralight Rodent Proof Dry Bag for Backpacking - Bear Bag Food Storage (Large)

Armored Outdoor Gear, a Flagstaff, Arizona-based manufacturer, specializes in producing stainless steel mesh bags designed to protect food and gear from animals while camping and backpacking. The company also manufactures bags, totes, satchels, and nap sacks for use at sporting events, music festivals, university graduations, and conventions that require clear bag policies.

The idea for the Ratsack was conceived in 1996 by the creator, while hiking the South Bass trail in the Grand Canyon. Witnessing mice accessing his food, he recalled the stainless steel mesh material from his Navy days and realized its potential for food protection. Upon returning from the trip, the first hand-sewn prototypes were tested in the field.

The Ratsack, with its large, ultralight design, offers a multitude of practical uses, including BACKPACKING, HUNTING, CAMPING, BACKCOUNTRY TRIPS, FISHING, GLAMPING, KAYAKING, COOLER FOR DRINKS, WATERSPORTS, and PREPPING. Its lightweight and easy-to-carry features make it suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities.

The Ratsack's innovative use of knitted stainless steel mesh provides superior protection for food and gear by forming an unchewable barrier, which is also small enough to prevent accessibility by any other means. The hook-and-loop closure at the top of the bag requires significant effort to pry open, even for humans, making it a formidable obstacle for animals. The 1/2" grommet allows the Ratsack to twist and swing when hung, further deterring any hungry creatures.

When paired with the Coghlan's Odor Proof storage bags, the Ratsack becomes a highly effective bear and rodent bag. There is no such thing as a "bear-proof" solution, but the Ratsack, when properly hung, is a very effective bear bag. Customers are advised not to waste money on expensive "bear-proof" bags or canisters, as the Ratsack paired with the Coghlan's Odor Proof bags is a more practical and cost-effective alternative.

The Ratsack is proudly made in the USA since 2002 and is backed by Amazon's A to Z 30-day money-back guarantee with Prime eligibility. The complete system includes a Large Ratsack, 5 Coghlan Odor Proof Storage Bags, a Carabiner, and 50 ft of Coghlan's 3mm utility cord, providing all the essential components for a successful outdoor adventure.
