if youre on the list and have not contacted me already please email me your mailing address, put URSACK in the subject line and make sure to include your bwca.com screen name.

before i put a big balance on my CC and to keep my wife from going nuts i will want pre-payment. personal checks. i wont deposit them until i get the order.

cost per unit (after discount) is $58.55. im going to set shipping at $6 per mailing. if its less ill put the difference in with the ursack, if its more ill let you know. (for reference ursack charges $5.75)

so...one shipped will be $64.55, two...$123.10.

i will email you my mailing address.

thanks!

way to go eJanBay :-)

Check went in the mail this morning. Are they sending it to us, or do you have to mail them out?

I will be the mail man. after getting the discount I didn't want to push my luck with another request.

thanks everyone. I cant wait to make the order...not so much because im really excited anymore, more so because I just want to get this over with. its gone way beyond where I thought it would. its been fun though, and a bit stressful. lol

Yes, he is. Sometimes you just don't know what you're getting into! :).

Track me down when I'm up there, Jan, and I'll buy you a beer or two. That's a lot of Postal work.

30! I never thought that many people would want one. Hope we don't exhaust their stock ;).

31.

Email sent for one more. Thanks!

quote boonie: "30! I never thought that many people would want one. Hope we don't exhaust their stock ;). "

I was thinking the same thing.

Email sent, Qty 1

Thanks Jan!

33! That's a lot of Ursacks! If they offer to throw in a free liner, I'll volunteer to be the guinea pig for trying it out ;).

They might want to be a sponsor on the site.

quote kanoes: "I will be the mail man. after getting the discount I didn't want to push my luck with another request."

So postage to you and then to us. I tossed in a couple extra bucks cause I'm thinking it will cost more than what you said. Should have sent more for the hassle we're putting you through.

Someone call Guinness Book of Records, this has to be a record for one order of Ursacks never to be broken :-)

I think Jan should get an Ursack icon next to his name to go along with his bearpaw and pinecone.

or a straitjacket.

I feel calm now, it has been...interesting.

pilot? I STILL need your address!

I will keep you all updated, and if I remember...ill take a photo of all 35 and post it in here. :)

backordered.....tee-hee ;)

quote cowdoc: "backordered.....tee-hee ;)"

you are evil bro. it would be fitting though. hah

Wow, jan that is awesome, thanks for doing it.

quote kanoes: "pilot? I STILL need your address!"

Just e-mailed you. I was out of the office yesterday.

Should we send you daily emails asking about the status of the Ursacks, or would you prefer we post them to this thread?

:)

uummmm.....no and no.

quote kanoes: "I feel calm now, it has been...interesting.

Checks???

all 35 shipped today. now I just need the guy to credit my account the 15% he said he would.

I thought it was 50%

quote kanoes: "all 35 shipped today. now I just need the guy to credit my account the 15% he said he would."

just post up his email here and we'll keep sending him "reminders" until you tell us it is done :)

quote kanoes: "all 35 shipped today. now I just need the guy to credit my account the 15% he said he would."

Wise choice everyone, you'll love them!

Boy, Chucks wife sewed up them bed sheets into Ursacks fast. :)

I took some sheet metal for duct work and cut a piece 12"x24". Riveted into a cylinder, and fits perfectly into sack. Just in case. Added weight is minimal.

I can't wait to hear about actual use!

I read that a cheap alternative to an Ursack is to use old car air bags from the junk yard. Just need a little sewing to make a sack. FWIW.

I have an Ursack and love it.

I work at a salvage yard, i'll have to look at them.

The Vectran models are the ones I have seen. I think there may be some nylon airbags out there, but I am not sure.

For those thinking about making one from an airbag, just remember that you'll have to sew the seams with the proper Spectra thread, which I believe was the weak point in previous models that were not "approved" by IGBC. You'll probably need to pay attention to thread count, etc. And you'll need to use cord of the same strength. It will only be as strong as its weakest link. Otherwise, you'll just have a glorified stuff sack, rather than something like the IGBC approved Ursack.

Just saw this for the first time today. :(

Ya snooze, ya lose, I guess.

This is where I found the article:

http://gossamergear.com/wp/tips/diy-chew-proof-bear-bag

Also http://mammothgear.com often has 20% storwide sales and if you call them on the phone they will do this for the Ursack. But this must be done over the phone. This is how I bought my Ursack and liner. I was told the owner will come in and look at the revenue and tells the employees we're going to have 20% off sale in a couple days.

Thanks for the link, JoshP. It doesn't claim to be "bear resistant" like the Ursack, just a "chew-proof" bag. It seems aimed more at keeping mice out in AT shelters (?). He does note it's never been tested by a bear. It seems it could be a good, cheap, lightweight alternative for some uses, but don't think it should be considered equivalent to the approved Ursack.

Airbags are made of nylon fabric, tough stuff but not cut resistant.
Still, may make some good bags, how critter proof needs to be demonstrated.
