	(The subpack is designed to store your food under water.)

	This would appear to work until bears discover what to look for. Then they 
will fish them out of lakes and streams and consume the contents. The 
subpack appears to only protect by hiding the smell from bears under water, 
but I can't see that they provide any protection if the bear actually gets a 
hold of the subpack.
