Must have rock sack!!

Im so glad i got the full kit and large dogbone toggle. The mini carabiners and large toggle are an excellent combo... and really helps me lock in that PCT hang. I went with the yellow bag to find it after a throw and i swear it seems it a little reflective. The bag is very light and it feels bomb proof, definitely can take abuse from trees and being dragged around. Currently using a tautline hitch and the rope seems to hold that knot very well. Another excellently made product. I would definitely buy the full kit, such a great deal!! Thanks!!

Amazing products

I purchased a custom printed food bag and bear hang sack kit. The quality of the material is very high. The quality of the printing on the bag of the picture I sent was absolutely amazing. Every single product I get from hilltop is awesome. Everyone should own their products and tell their friends to as well.

Pre-pare for the Backcountry!

Hilltop is a good place to prepare for the backcountry -- the big stores like REI want to sell giant plastic bear-proof containers. My ultra-light bear bag throw kit is handy. Yes, you can DITY, by why bother for the inexpensive product, good construction, and thoughtful design?

Hilltop is truly “local”. Everyone knows each other & you are part of them as soon as you walk in. Definitely worth shopping them, but visiting them in person is even better❣️

Excellent package!

Very well made and a nice package. I spliced loops into both ends of the rope and girth hitched the rope to the cord winder. Works great! Love that it all fits conveniently into the throw bag, which all fits perfectly into my coffee cup in my pack. Well done Hilltop!

Nice little kit.

I've always stored food in my pack and just hoped for the best. Luckily, Hilltop Packs makes this handy little kit to help store your food in a safe manner. I will be using the PCT method from now on. Plus I just like to support this company. Thanks Hilltop Packs!

10/10 snack bag launcher

Okay, listen up, adventurers… I didn’t think a glorified sack for rocks could change my life, but here we are. This little kit is the superhero sidekick I never knew my thru-hike needed. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of bear bag throwers without all the sharp bits and existential dread.
First of all, this thing is so lightweight I briefly worried it was plotting an escape from my pack. But nope it was just quietly waiting to help me launch my snacks into the treetops like a culinary catapult. It’s easy enough that even my Pomeranian, Moose, could use it if he had opposable thumbs. (He tried. Spoiler: he does not.)
The kit includes everything you need to make sure your food isn’t devoured by critters with better climbing skills than you, which, let’s be honest, includes literally every critter on the trail. Super easy to use, ultra durable, and makes you feel like a superhero every time you hoist your food bag up a branch. I swear I heard a racoon give me a standing ovation.

If you want your snacks safe and want to impress fellow hikers with your ninja-like rock bag throwing precision, this is the bear bag accessory to carry. Five stars, two thumbs up, and one very satisfied hiker (and tiny dog).

this may be the best review ever :) Thank you!

Small but Mighty Trail Essential

Lightweight, durable, and easy to use. It works perfectly for hanging a food bag and packs down small. Simple, well-made, and totally reliable—exactly what you want on the trail.

Love this Bag!

This bag is perfect for my thru hike I’m doing in 2026! I was able to practice with it and do some shake out hikes and everything fits and it hangs so easily. I got a misprint bag on sale and unfortunately I couldn’t add a spoon holder to the bag but I’ll figure something out to make sure I don’t lost it! Thank you!

Made learning so easy!

I was a first time backpacker when I used this for the first time. I practiced at home but LOVED how easy it was to learn. I do wish it came with a couple videos to watch. I didn't know how to use the Dog Bone part and lost that - it flew off. But other than that, super grateful for this!

It does the job! Small, light and very practical. Everything you need to hang your bag is in that little bag.

Small and ultralight

We have not used this kit yet, but we will be in a couple months. Compact and ultralight. Everything we need to toss a food bag over a branch and secure it. Thanks!
