File burrs before it's near your bags!

File burrs before it's near your bags!
Watch out for burrs along the mould seam. I ripped a bag on a burr. I filed the burrs down with a disposable fingernail file and now it's fine. Glad it hapened on a cheap bag first. I was surprised how easy the bear canister was to open. But I'm a human and it was warm. For 1 person, It holds all my food for almost 3 days with plenty of room for soap, sunscreen, lip balm, etc.
