Man, what can I say?. Excellent. Well thought out system as far as space in a pack goes. I was worried the tins wouldnt last but they proved themselves on my last 4 night trek. I used them for flour, barley, oats, cornmeal, coffee, white and brown sugar. I mean I ran out of powdered grains to put into them before I ran out of tins, lol.
The bag is quality, thick canvas and came pretreated. If you were on the fence about getting this, hop off and do it. Having another cup is a great bonus too. No regrets.
