I have an official BWCA garbage bag hanging in my garage. I heard they were getting rid of them years ago so that trip I saved it. Am I the only one?

Wow - that is going to be worth a small fortune in another ten years. I’ll trade you my full collection of Hamms beer cans for it.
I always used mine. For something.

I still have a few in storage....We often got more than we needed and used them to store dirty clothes/boots/detritus for the ride home.

I’m pretty sure we have one somewhere. The physically impossible diagram of how to hang a food bag was too good to give up.

You bet I have a few! After seeing the $50K Duluth Pack, figured I'd wait till the price goes up.

The graphic artist should have reviewed linear perspective. That, or those packs are huge!

I think I have a couple in 'mint' condition.... should put in on ebay? maybe worth more than some of the American flyer train stuff I look at (my hobby during hard water months)

BTW, the physics issue is in the picture of the two rope hanging method. It would require infinite tension in the horizontal rope for it to be completely straight like that. Our first trip was with two physicists from Fermi labs and one of them made a big point about it.

I suppose that's why I refuse to trip with multiple physicists from Fermi labs!! :)

Well, they had a really great dog. And they were putting up with two geophysicists.

Yep! I have 3 left! Won 5 at BWCA.com camp out!
