Ratsack or bear box?
Quick answer: Ratsack
Reason: No bears in Havasupai, so you just need something that is rodent-proof
The Havasupai website lists bear box as the thing to use, but they do not require it. The only requirement is that you keep your food safe from wildlife. Ratsacks are much lighter and fold down much smaller than bear boxes. Therefore, ratsack is our answer to this above question.
Best practices for using a ratsack:
1) Place all your smelly items (food, toothpaste, etc) in an odor-proof opaque (non-see-through) ziplock bag.
2) Place that in the ratsack and suspend it for a tree limb.
