No, the lake structure is what makes it rigid.

My pillow is the regular size

The bus that I have has never gotten stretched out from it. I can’t claim at all brands wouldn’t get stretched out, but mine didn’t.

Thank you for your comments! I hope I was able to help in a positive way!

Came in to say the same. The new pump sack weighs almost nothing

Sorry for the slow response I didn’t provide the total weight with the syringe because I don’t carry it. I backflush with clean water from the clean bottle and that works well for me. It’s not the perfect solution for everybody but you know we all figure out what works best for us.

It’s a great item! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

That is true.

He sure was😀

@@chef.papa.6tango523 I did some research and I cannot find a weight limit. But if it helps, I am a big guy that weighs 255 pounds. I have never had an issue with it. It’s very durable.

It depends on where you camp. If you’re car camping and you go to a place that has potable water or you bring all of your water. You don’t need one. If you have a smaller vehicle and don’t have the space to carry enough water and you go to a place that doesn’t provide potable water, a filter is a great way to make sure that you have access to water. I mostly use them when I am backpacking.

The Sawyer doesn’t have a charcoal filter in it so this filter Would help you eliminate any bad taste. I usually filter out of streams when I can so that I can get the cleanest and best tasting water when I carry the Sawyer. But as you could see in the video, there are certain parts of California that don’t have a lot of water and sometimes you just have to thank God for the puddle that you just found And filter that. I’m also testing several other filters. It’s the nature of the channel for me to keep trying new products. Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoy the content!

This is meant to be a budget-friendly option. I have had this for a year, and it has been solid. I will check out the First Need Water Filter. Thanks!

I just looked at the filter you recommended, and it seems solid. It would be great for camping but looks too bulky and heavy for the average backpacker. Thank You!

@@BackpackingGearNut :) Depends how valuable you consider your water. I have videos where I run food dye thru it. With how crazy the world is getting I want to know my water is perfect. How often do they find a dead body in a water supply that was there for weeks. Using a sawyer or something else like that would not be good. Ever heard of this sleeping bag Western Mountaineering Bristlecone MF Go look that up. I also run this the best in the world. You just have to ask yourself is it worth the weight? If you want to run a 10lb pack then in my view your just taking to many chances with a sawyer after all it only takes that 1 time. How about this...... Naegleria fowleri is an ameba (type of one-celled organism) that thrives in warm freshwater lakes, rivers, and hot springs. It is often called the "brain-eating ameba" because it can infect the brain and destroy brain tissue. Brain infections caused by Naegleria fowleri are very rare but nearly always fatal. In TN where I hike this happens every year. Someone dies of this. I put importance on items not weight. Water is number 1 and I want to be as perfect as possible. Also depends on the season. In winter the same applies I want the best heat I can get. Now you take my pot set which weighs 3 lbs. People would go crazy. LOL But I can steam and cook anything. I rarely take freeze dried meals they are just not good for you. Now my 2 man tent is a dan durston at 2lbs. My total pack weight is 30lbs. Even with these so called heavy items. Some of my items are heavy and others are super light. Now a trick I use is moving items around the body. For example My water sits on my hip where you feel no weight at all. I wear 2 drop downs. The one on my right hip carries my firearm. The one on my left hip I carry my knife and silky saw. So now when I remove my pack these items stay with me all the time. Search my channel for Silky Professional Gomboy Case and you will see what I mean. Has taken me years to get this dialed in so I can carry what I want and it does not feel like it. If you buy that first need you will not use anything else I promise.

The smart water bottles are firm enough that they don’t collapse very easily.

Thank you

👍🏻

My pleasure

The calories are pretty dense. Based on what all of the ingredients said it’s going to be somewhere around 1000 cal. The nice thing is when you make your own food you can add more or add less based on what yourcalorie needs. I didn’t do any more of these videos because no one seems to care about this one. I’m glad somebody watched it.

Here’s an Amazon link to one that I like better. Edit can be used with all the styles amzn.to/3L45h6E

Keep in mind if you’re going to use a single wall tent, be aware of the humidity because of the air is very saturated. You want to bring a cloth to wipe the inside down after you wake up in the morning. That way you’re not carrying around water with you all day.

I have a couple different battery powered pumps I use, but I didn’t know that Nitecore makes one. I’ll have to check it out.

No. Water expands so if there is no water it will be fine.

That’s wonderful. I haven’t really talked about it yet, but I always take two filters with me in case one fails. If the four of you have filters it gives you security if you have one fail

I haven’t had any issues yet with leaks but it also matters what the environments like. Sorry to hear you’re having so much trouble with your mats. I’ll just count myself lucky😀

My filters tend to last me about a year, but I am careful how dirty the water is that I put in them. I also would suggest pre-filtering before it goes into the filter and that’ll help. I have most of all of the major brands of filters, and they all clog. Some of them are nice because they’re easy to backflush, but with all of them I have found that I need to take a little extra care about the water I put in. Thank you so much for your comments!

The small black panel eventually failed, but the folding and white panels worked great for me. I have noticed that my phone charges slowly with these. I found a great workaround; I charge my Nitecore 10,000mAh battery instead of my phone. My iPhone charges faster when it gets higher voltage, but my Nitecore will take advantage of the extra amps at 5 volts. I then charge my phone as needed from my battery pack at the fastest rate. I hope this helps you!

My Pleasure!

It is well-designed and reliable.

I thought of this idea while trying to make my water more accessible and keep everything light.

Sounds like a good match!

Appreciate your comment!

I am looking forward to getting a new one

it does work well with the disco 👍🏻

how wide is your pad?

@@BackpackingGearNut it's a 25" wide Big Agnes Rapide SL Insulated Sleeping Pad.

@@Taffer-bx7uc the straps that came with it are a loop and loop around the pad and slide them down the pad into position the clips are not too clip to each other. They are to clip to the quilt.. They should fit. If this doesn’t help email me my email is in the information for my site. Send me pictures and I’ll see if I can come up with a solution for you.

@@BackpackingGearNut Many thanks!

I like the green, but I’ve also liked some of the new colors. For the last three years, they’ve had a new color every year.

I agree about the fingers :-) I mainly go on one to three-night trips, so my small cans work well for me. To use such a small light bear can. I have to break things down to make it fit for a three-day trip. The carbon fiber cans tend to be outside of my price range. I wish somebody would make an ultralight, small carbon fiber can that is easy to open for humans but costs $100 or less.

👍

You are correct about it being wet. When I originally made that video, I accidentally overlooked mentioning that. The only thing I can tell you about the freezing issue is that brands state that freezing may destroy the filter. I personally have had filters destroyed by freezing in my case. It was always when they were attached to a full dirty bag. This would make more sense because if the membrane is full of water and the ice expands as ice does, that would break the filter. But if it was just wet and all the water was pretty drained out of it, I don't know. That would give the water room to expand without breaking anything. Filters that are hydrophobic require being wet for this test, while filters that are not hydrophobic don't. Non-hydrophobic membranes don't expand when they get wet. I am not the ultimate expert on all this, but this is what I have found through my research and experience. I, too, have had filters that have frozen but not been destroyed. I appreciate you challenging me. I try to be as accurate as possible, but there's always something new for me to learn. Thank you very much!
