Rat Sack: Ultralight Rodent-Proof Food Storage Bag for Backpacking & Camping
Ratsack by Armored Outdoor Gear
The Rat Sack (Ratsack by Armored Outdoor Gear) is the ultralight stainless steel mesh food storage bag trusted by campers, backpackers, and overlanders for years. If you’re planning a trip to Havasupai, the Grand Canyon, or any backcountry adventure, the Rat Sack is the gear you’ll wish you had.
I brought my Rat Sack to Havasupai, and it was absolutely essential. Small critters like mice, squirrels, and even raccoons are extremely active at night. They’ll chew through tents, backpacks, or plastic containers to reach scented items, such as food, trash, or toiletries. With the Rat Sack, I safely stored everything outside my tent and slept without worry.
