Optimize lightweight cooking with a sustainable solution: the Buc is a food bag for cooking hot meals or cold soaking ingredients.

The Buc offers a wide opening with a sturdy slider taken from our true and tested Vecto for pouring, mixing, eating and cleaning. Once empty, the Buc rolls into a 7" long snack bar and packs away until your next meal.

A redesign in 2024 added a tapered base to allow the Buc to stand upright when full, externally welded corners for easier cleaning, and mL increment measurements on the back.

Keep your guts safe with a container that will not break like PET or nylon bags, and has zero BPA, BPF, BPS or PVC.

Light yet sturdy, simply pack your meals in advance (up to 2 servings!), add hot water and let soak as your recipe dictates.

Bonus tip: keep it in your jacket when soaking to warm you up on a cold evening!

Features:

Lightweight and compact - only 2 oz and packed size of 7x1.5x1.5 inches
Tapered design so Buc sits upright when full
Ounce increment measurements for easy cooking
Tethered slider
Durable - despite the soft material, this little bag has a breaking point of over 300 lbs
FDA approved and BPA, BPF, and BPS free

Please note: TPU is a porous material and is not completely odor-free after production. Please clean and air prior to use. Hand wash recommended.

Useless, shouldn’t be available for sale

Yet another person chiming in to echo the appalling reviews of this item. While it is lovely that it has been redesigned to stand up on its own, what they don’t mention is it does not stay open on its own. So picture if you will, trying to eat your meal out of a backpacking bag, while using one hand to hold it open. When I reached out to ask if this item had been field tested because the design is so poor that I could not have imagined anyone had actually tried to eat a hot meal out of it on the trail, I was told that they recommend it be used with a cozy. Unfortunately that is not mentioned anywhere here in the description. What’s more, a cozy will not help with the core problem: the bag will not stay open unless it is held open, and if you are eating hot food not only is that awkward, you’re at risk of scalding the hand that is holding the bag open. Then to make it worse, as a customer you’re responsible for return shipping, which to include tracking, costs almost as much as the item itself. Don’t make the same mistake I did. Listen to the bad reviews. Order almost any other brand: OXO, Human Gear, Ziploc Endurable. Do not order this item. It shouldn’t be available for sale for rehydrating hot meals. It’s that bad.

Hi Scout,
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We're sorry to hear the Buc didn't meet your expectations. Using the Buc with a cozy is simply an suggestion to make handling more comfortable; it's not a requirement. Our product listing also recommends allowing boiling water to cool slightly before pouring it into the bag, as the Buc is uninsulated. This helps reduce both the risk of burns and unnecessary material stress. We appreciate your input and hope you find a solution that works better for your needs.

I waited a long time to get these food bags. I’m glad I waited. I love them. I will brag about them to my hiking buddies!

Does the job

I like using this because most of the freeze dried food you buy in the stores is large and I like to break them down and put it in this.
One question can you put this in a microwave?

Thanks for your review, we're glad to hear you like the Buc! Our products, including the Buc, should not go in the microwave. Hope that helps, alwasy feel free to reach out to our support team at contact@cnocoutdoors.com with any questions!

Great for cold soaking

Ordered Litesmith cold soak containers and the these little 2 cup CNOCs for cold soak meals. In the end, the CNOC made the pack-list as the Litesmiths just took up too much volume in our packs when not in use vs. the CNOC that folded flat.

The red plastic opening is really stiff to work with a first but mellows out. I gave them to one of my kids to flex for a while while watching YouTube before the trip.

The CNOC was a little fussier to clean, but some sand and agitation into the little corners with sea water did the trick.

Used them for overnight oats, smoothies and pudding-style deserts.

I'm not sure I'd like them for boiling water as it's easy to overfill them and only find out when you fold the seal -which would be bad with boiling water spilling.

I'd bring them again.

Good bag good quality, but too small for my needs.
