Backcountry Food Storage

Backcountry Food Storage has several solutions. Not all of them are simple. In Bear Country, you have to carry a Bear Keg,  Bear Cannister or other hard plastic or metal container. They are heavy, but necessary where bears have become a nuisance. Some campgrounds have metal ammunition cans for food storage which work great, but are not practical for backpacking. Our Simple Outdoor Solution is an Interlocking Wire Mesh Bag, also known as Outsak.

Outsak is an Interlocking Wire Mesh Bag. It is designed to protect your food and gear from the sharp, gnawing teeth of small animals. It is made of a very flexible, lightweight, stainless steel wire mesh that can withstand the tugging, biting and gnawing of common backpacking food thieves. It can be easily rolled and strapped to the outside of your pack. Outsak protects your food and gear while you are sleeping or away from camp. Outsak brand products have been highly successful against raccooons, squirrels, marmots, rodents, skunks, porcupine, swamp rats, chupacabra and sasquatch (prove us wrong). The best thing about an Outsak is how simple it is to use. There are no special knots, or extra tools you have to carry to be able to use an Outsak. Watch the video below.
