Serves its purpose, but at a price...

The product is very convenient, as it saves you the time and trouble of putting all your food in a stuff sack ang hanging it. I also believe it's more effective protection against bears than hanging. It looks very sturdy, and can be used as a comfortable camp stool.

However, I decided to return it after one trip, because it is a nightmare to pack. I had a big backpack (70 liter), and couldn't fit it inside. Even on the outside it's a pain to strap, because of the diameter. I ended up strapping it in a way that appeared very clumsy to me, but I couldn't find any other. It bothered me all the time.

Next time, I'll just hang my stuff instead...
