We are in no way professionals, this is just a look and the equipment we used and what worked (or didn't) for us.

    The "easiest way" to start filtering water is to use a bottle with clean water.....what if you don't have clean water to prime the tube/filter?

    • @explorationsevo
      @explorationsevo 2 місяці тому

      It's possible its just a bit more work. I would pop the filter off the dirty water side of the tubing and allow the line to fill completely with water, then re-attach the filter. That should provide enough suction to start a syphon. It will be slow until you are able to get all the air out of the lines.

    This is the best clip that I have seen for TNF Stormbreaker II. This is my third one. I like this color and the canopy rainfly. I love TNF zipper at ease compared to the most expensive tents. I have no issues with the zipper. I use my index finger and thumb on the zipper to prevent the rainfly flap gets caught in the zipper. I have looked for a gear loft for a long time, but they are made of mesh. However, this NRS Hydrolock solves my problem! I can watch a movie in the tent. I can't wait for my tent to come in the mail. Good job on the video!

    Tires are one of the huge aspects of the Dempster and it is complex. Cause here is the thing, if you get a flat (I have yet to watch the other videos in your series) you are in trouble. I, opted for the TKC 80 that I can change on the road but it has a softer sidewall, so it is a catch 22. The other thing I do is take my tires off at home before the trip so I know I can get them off and they have not been on for a long time. I also cache tires in Whitehorse, the start of the Dempster, or Eagle Plains. I have made the trip 4 times. If I put on a tire that was so stiff I would carry a hacksaw if I had to get it off and replace it. Yup, tires are pretty key on the trip. Oh yeah, I have had 2 flats on the Dempster, the first also became a blowout Over to episode 11 now.
