Abstract: An animal resistant bear bag (100) is comprised of a laminate (400) configuration comprised of specially formulated ballistic grade Spectra fabric (200), EVA (300), ethylene vinyl acetate and specially formulated Kevlar correctional grade fabric. The lamination process may involve various temperature ranges and various rolling and/or compression techniques. A bear and critter bag may contain food intended for human consumption and is designed and constructed to prevent bears and other animals from accessing, eating or otherwise absconding with the contained food. Animal resistance is enhanced by the use of use of four or so Spectra thread seams and the use of specially constructed cord. A uniquely designed access and closure system allows humans quick access to bag contents while solving the problem of using laminate that is too rigid to cinch closed with traditional systems. An exterior closing sleeve (500) may extend beyond the main bag assembly (600).
