Not bear proof :-) I believe this are not accepted in the Adirondacks of NY, at least they weren't the last time I hiked over there.But given their weight much easier to carry then a hardsided canister
Isn't the Adirondacks where the (black) bears have learned how to open all the bear-proof cannisters?
I'd still hang the bag to try to keep rats and mice out of it. They'll cheerfully sneak through the tiny opening at the top of the bag.
