| | Keep any food item that could leak in a plastic bag inside URSACK. Even though a bear may not be able to penetrate URSACK, he may be able to crush the contents. If URSACK does get crushed, there won't be a "food reward" that can be licked from the outside. | | Machine wash, no bleach line dry | | | DO NOT | Do not keep URSACK in camp.
