Salomon Trail Gaiters, Black, Medium (size 7.5-9)


These really keep the junk and debris out of your shoes. Yes I was skeptical at first but after hiking about 70 miles through the Ocala National Forest on sandy trail. Through stands of pine and scrub oak. Just nothing in my shoes but my feet!

Not going to hike with out them!

URSACK BEAR BAG

]

I was looking into Bear canisters, then remembered the URSACK. Lighter than any other option. I will add to this a very loud and obnoxious bell I have from my daughter. Adds another 5.4oz, but will scare the be-geber's out of any critter. Like wake the dead if there around! And also can double as emergency signaling device.

Also recently camped in an area with tall trees, pines with no limbs to hang bear bag. The URSACK should be the answer. It can be hung but is not required to be hung.

Ursack S29.3 Bear Resistant Sack Bag

Also using Loksak Opsak 12x20 Inch Storage Bag Along with being 100% water and air tight, the OPSAK (Odor Proof SAK) is also a 100% odor barrier bag.


URSACK is 7.8 oz with the bell 13.2 oz, Much lighter than any Bear Canister at 3 lbs. Not to mention the size and the room in the pack!

As you consume the food the URSACK will get smaller, in like the solid canister.
