Excellent. Forget about hanging food for now on!

My first experience with this was in the backcountry of Olympic National Park. It was also the first backpacking I did without hanging food. Big improvement! Seriously, it has many benefits. 1) Condenses all your food into 1 container and seals. 2) Perfect for sitting on while you cook or hangout. 3) Just drop it on the ground 100-200 feet from your camp.
Note: Food takes up a lot of room. I found it easy to fill for a 4-day backpacking trip. Even with minimal toiletries (toothbrush and paste. Eye drops), and this is the big one! I would say it would be hard to get more than 2 people on a 3 night backpacking trip on this.
