I thought it was heavy while I was packing it in, but after it sat out for a night away from the tent it was covered with frozen saliva in the morning and had obviously been chewed on by something rather large, but the food was still there and it was intact. The impressive part is that what ever chewed on it didn't bother me. So it does work.

This bear container is not "bear proof." I went camping in the ADKS and a bear broke into my container and ate all of my food. I had to come home a day early. The bears in the ADKS are too smart for this particular container.
