It comes with an integrated six foot, 2, 500 pound tensile strength cord. The Major weighs 7. 6 ounces. It is about 24 inches in circumference (If packed only with freeze dried food, it will hold 37 single servings of breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Major does not come with an odor barrier bag (OPSak) or an aluminum liner. Both must be purchased separately. Without the optional aluminum liner, your food may be crushed, ripped or punctured. While the Major is critter resistant, it is less so than the Almighty or the Ursack Minor which may be better suited for that task. The Ursack with improved Spectra seams passed the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee test and was placed on its bear-resistant products.

We are not in grizzly country, but black bear and did not encounter the bag being roughed up by any bear. It would make sense for the bag to be of a lighter color (e.g. so it would not retain heat from the sun for non-perishable items such as bug spray) and viability, but understand the company no longer manufactures the white ones. Note: make sure wherever you are heading out, what type of container you need as some areas require a bear container vs a bear bag. Happy Trails! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Product *by L***M on July 25, 2021* I have 2 of these bags that I’ve used in the backcountry during backpacking trips. They are super sturdy. They must be used with odor proof inserts in order to keep animals from smelling the contents of the bag. The bag itself is made to withstand an animal trying to get into it. I believe it is sturdy enough to do that. Thus far I have not a had an incident of an animal getting into or trying to get into the bag. The only downside is the bag is on the heavy side but lighter and more packs less than a beat canister. ### ⭐ Ursack Failed to Prevent Bear from Tearing through Bag and lead to a 20 minute Bear Encounter! *by A***R on August 6, 2022* The Ursack is NOT BEAR PROOF!!! I purchased the Ursack to pair with the OPSAK in preparation to hike four sections of the Colorado trail this past July. Within a couple of days the upper corner of the OPSAK TORE below the zipper. I handled the bag gently, with care and placed appropriate amounts of items in each. I was NOT rough or overstuffing with food or materials. I was nervous about this as this was my protection against bears. I inspected my friend’s OPSAK’s sides and noticed it had much thicker crimping compared to mine which hardly had any. The last night we were on trail a bear successfully tore through my Ursack and feasted. This led to a 20 minute bear encounter for me and my friends!!! This was dangerous for us, the bear, and future hikers in that area. I am 100% disappointed in both the OPSAK and the Ursack as they were a complete failure and did not fulfill their promises, rather we were left in harm's way. Where I trusted this combination, OPSAK failed to ensure a quality product, and the bear tore through the Ursack. Unfortunately, I could not snap a photo of the hole the bear tore in the Ursack as we were busy trying to scare the bear off. The bear would leave, giving us time to gather our supplies, including the bag it had ripped into and feasted upon, only for it to immediately return. After 20 minutes in the pitch dark and what looked like a change in disposition of curiosity to a charging position, we gave up and threw the bag with the food in the bear's direction. Only then, were we able to leave safely. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/114280442-ursack-major-bear-resistant-food-sack-bear-proof-container-8](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/114280442-ursack-major-bear-resistant-food-sack-bear-proof-container-8) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
