First, George, thanks as always for your experienced point of view. One thinks one knows this stuff, and then you learn something new, which I have.
There are frequent pronouncements from people on what is, and is not allowed, and where.....which is sometimes untrue, and sometimes out of date.
I've had good luck with my Ursacks, which are the original yellow ones. However, I'm careful.
I can't quite understand the counterbalancing of a Ursack, as I am fairly convinced that counterbalancing doesn't work (I AM convinced that I will see it done right before I die--I haven't so far). It would seem to tie the Ursack to the balancing. I can't fathom it, but if one could counterbalance a bear can, I think it would make the bears interested again.
Much more important to me, is what happened to SIBBG? Budget cut or lawsuit?
