I was watching his videos and saw your post... :( Couldn't believe it at first so I googled, and sadly he did pass away. May he rest in Peace and Hike on Forever. Thanks woodswalker for your lovely humble and honest videos
I've used the CNOC bag now in all seasons and its BIG weakness is heat. As soon as the ambient temperature outside goes up the (already very supple) plastic gets even softer, and the threads leak like a sieve. This is actually a real hazard when using a gravity setup w a sawyer because unfiltered water leaks out the threads and into the filtered water container. I keep a close eye on it all the time, and tie a drip line on the filter to divert drips from leaks or the bag itself from contaminating the clean water. Be very careful!! No one wants beaver fever in the backcountry.
love this 2019 bag, I have the 2lt version and it is by far the best bag I have, "not bloody cheap though" and had to buy it from your side of the water as you just could not get them in the uk
Walker, thanks for sharing, this was a timely video as I was just looking at these , couldn't decide between the 2ltr or 3ltr . They seem much better than the sawyer bag. Appreciate the review 👍
Being able to quickly fill up the bottle from the bottom, is definitely a lot better than trying to get it through the cap. I think my concern would be cross contamination on the cap because you’re dipping it into the water. It definitely looks a lot more robust than that other one. 👏👏👏👏🥓🥓🥓
I am thinking it might be less as the cap remains on. With the platy the cap is in my hands which are often covered with the non potable water during the process aka potential transfer to the inside of the cap. Though to be honest I am not sure. Thanks for watching brother!
Thanks for the review , just looks like any other hydration bladder, the slit at the top is for you to secure it in a hydration pack , most have it , I have three like it. Their all about the same , some of them the plastic is a little thinker then others
This is great! I made a gravity filter with tubes and the like. Works well, but this looks way simpler. May have to look into getting one. Thanks Walker! Have you ever used charcoal filters with your Sawyer?
I don't think that would work with a water bladder and moving water. I have tested my wide mouth Nalgene after being told by someone it was better. I didn't see any difference but wouldn't surprise me if this was true. Pure human observation without actual scientific methodology can be faulty. Thanks for watching!
I didn't time it however seemed reasonable. I am also curious how it holds up to a freeze. I know the filter would crack internally but we are talking about the bag.
I hope you never stop making videos! Thanks for being awesome!
This might be a bit awkward but he died of a heart attack
The CNOC Vecto is a great piece of kit. It is what should have come with the Sawyer. Thanks for sharing
The Sawyer supplied bag is awful IMO. I agree. Not sure why they couldn't do better. Thanks for watching
Personally, I’ve never had an issue with my 32oz Sawyer bags.
Rest in peace Kevin we will all miss your videos.
Rip.

@@poembala yea I saw it on someone's comment then I decided to put it around a few of his videos so that people knew why he wasn't uploading.
Yes Sir Walker I do believe you have yourself a winner right there. Nice 👍🏻👍🏻~John
Thanks for watching!
Kevin another nice review thanks for all your help.
Thanks!

I have to admit, I love that ripped and beat up M65 liner 👊. I’ve sown mine several times.
It's also melted.
MegaWoodswalker Just adds more character
you can also put snow it in,let it melt hang on the center pole of the tipi,stove will help with the heat,and the morning youll have some water.
Might try that!
One of my favorite water bags. I use it all the time with my hydroblu versa flow. Great bags and great video
Cool. Like that it's quiet.
Thanks!
Great review! I have a prior model and use it often. Take Care and Keep Enjoying the Outdoors.
Thanks!

Looks like a useful product and like you said it will be good for winter camping considering how much water it can carry. Thanks brother!
Thanks for watching!
Definitely checking this out. Thanks Kevin👍
Thanks for watching!
So many big hiker channels are using these. I got one I use with my Sawyer Squeeze filter and there great.
Good to know and thanks for watching!

It’s my understanding a BeFree filter fits inside this bag. Thanks for sharing Shawn.

It’s the walker ..... !!! 🥓🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♂️
Thanks! LOL!
I have two of these bags. Very durable 👍

So what are we doing today ?
U r so soothing. To watch
Thanks!

Do you notice a difference in sediment if you point the mouth of the container downstream? A different guy said you should do that.
I don't think that would work with a water bladder and moving water. I have tested my wide mouth Nalgene after being told by someone it was better. I didn't see any difference but wouldn't surprise me if this was true. Pure human observation without actual scientific methodology can be faulty. Thanks for watching!
that is an interesting concept but i dont think it would make a difference but im gunna try :-)
I'm looking forward to seeing how durable it is after a deep freeze.
How long did the filter take to fill the cup?
Thanks for the quick review.

@@MegaWoodswalker Yes - test the bag in a freeze, not the filter.
We will have to make sure that some bacon and bourbon is on hand (as a control).
@@JohnDavis-im1oy The internals will fail on the Sawyer for sure. I am back flushing them out and putting those away till Spring.
great review I need to get one of those
Thanks for watching!
This video reminds me of the Bogard film "dark passage" I was disappointed that I didn't get to see your fists punch out a wise guy.
No bacon 😢
Bummer on that. :( But soon the fry pan will be reviewed! :)
I suer, you all campers eat tiny meals. that burners is smaller than your hand.and I want one.
I can run an I V drip of bacon 🥓 drippins. 😉👍🏻
LOL!
Ya gotta mix in some coffee with that bacon drippings to have proper IV. LOL.
