If I stash this in the woods with some food-type items, will it be sealed from vermit and such? Thanks.

very good question but I am not sure...it is not 100% sealed & i only use it to carry my ammo so i know water is not getting in.

It is sealed and pretty watertight, but it is plastic; rodents can chew through it, and then your stuff will be contaminated. For your intended use you need a metal container.

I would not consider it rodent, raccoon, or bear resistant. The old GI steel ammo cans will be more reliable for your purpose.

Save your money! I put the food in this container still in the bag and it went stale very quickly as this item is NOT airtight. The Vittles Vault is the only pet food container that I have found that is truly air-tight. Hope that helps.

Not really, it has a spring loaded lid hasp with a rubber seal. If you do not lock the hasp down no problem, but that also means other things can get in. Examples: wild yeasts or fruit fly.

Id put it in a zip lock bag. Should work fine. Keep it in the a cool area. Do not place in the fridge.

No. This item is very well sealed. You won't see the bamboo charcoal. And it doesn't spill out either.

The simplehuman can is not "hermetically" sealed, but it does have a firm, reasonably tight lid closure. I would still not leave odiferous material in any waste can for any length of time, since any objectionable odors will drift out into the surrounding space every time the can is opened. The good thing about this can is that it has a self-closing lid, so the lid does not remain open for long after use. We are very pleased with all aspects of this attractive, user-friendly waste can.

I stored one in my home in the box for about 1 month and it was just fine. It is wrapped in plastic and I would think that if you keep it in a dry environment it would be ok. Hope this helps.

you could put packaged food in them like survival type freeze dried foods and the like. maybe apples and other firm foods sealed in ziplock/vaccum bags and not going to be put through rough conditions (getting banged around) is possible.

Yes it will be fine especially with the cool weather we have been having. It lasts a long time unopened. If it is opened it needs to be put in the refrigerator .

The packages are sealed, there is very little if any odor to humans, however, all food items need to go into the bear bag.Weight would be a concern when backpacking as they are very dense.

It is a sealed container. There should be no issue. It works for us. It is a great container. The only recommendation I have is to put a food magnet so nobody tries to use it as a trash can.

I have been storing it that way without problem. Note, the inner bag is resealable and I also added a baggie around that.

Sure. I keep some in a container and keep the rest in the bag it comes in. It is resealable. It gonna get messy in the transfer too. this stuff is very fine.

I always put my cheese or meat in a baggie inside the treat bag. Closed spaces rapidly multiply germs/mold/etc. so I don't put anything easily spoilable directly in any treat bag.

No, it is not airtight. If u pack anything that contains liquid, it will leak.

It stays very fresh for a long time, as long as you keep the bag tightly closed. I fold it a couple times and clip it. Or you can put it on an air tight container, but I think it stays better in the foil bag that it comes in!!
