I recently got an email from Tom Cohen who wrote:

I am the owner/inventor of Ursack. I saw the pictures last year, but was surprised that there was no warranty claim.

I'd like to know what happened (in detail please) and to honor our warranty.

Unfortunately, your pictures have been used against us by park rangers all over the country. It appears that the seam ripped and, among other things, I'd like to know if you applied SeamGrip--or did you buy the Ursack before we started supplying SeamGrip with it.

As of April 2013, we use Spectra thread, which is 12 times stronger than seamgrip reinforced seams, so we are pretty sure the problem is solved.

I should point out that the pictures above of the damaged Ursack containers were not mine, nor was the Ursack mine. I only posted the pictures as they were sent to me by Inyo National Forest staff.

I do hope, as Tom wrote, that the problem is solved. Seems to me that testing the newer Ursack around Mammoth Lakes might be a good way to find out.
