As Grand Canyon backpackers know, food raiding critters can be a problem in the backcountry.  Scores of food protection methods have been tried, but few stand the test of time.  In our experience, the FoodSack is the best option for storing your food safely and worry-free.

The Difference is in the Details

Design – The unique design of the FoodSack makes it the most reliable food storage method.  Interwoven with stainless steel wire mesh so that the largest  gap is only 5mm, this design allows for two-fold protection:  1) Critters cannot chew through the steel mesh itself and 2) the mesh gaps are too small for critters to penetrate.

Other Specs – The FoodSack is 18” wide, 22” tall, and weighs only 10 ounces, making it ideal for Grand Canyon backpacking where low pack weight is essential.  A secure Velcro opening makes retrieving or stashing food quick and easy.  Nylon webbing with a minimum breaking strength of 1800 lbs. secures both the bottom and a loop enclosure from which the FoodSack can be hung.

Why the FoodSack is Superior

Storing food in your tent is risky – We’ve seen tents and backpacks with holes chewed through the exterior from hungry critters.  We’ve also witnessed a ringtail enter a partially unzipped tent, grab a bag of peanuts, and climb 30 feet up a cottonwood in a matter of seconds.  In addition, tents are often unnecessary for backpacking in Grand Canyon.  With or without a tent, the FoodSack advantage is that you can safely leave it anywhere.

Hanging food is problematic – Trees in Grand Canyon are rare and fragile.  Even if you find a suitable limb your food is still at risk.  We have seen mice scurry down cordage into a hanging stuff sack.  Since the FoodSack can be left anywhere, you don’t have to worry about finding or damaging tree limbs to hang food.
