To make it easier to put a half empty soft flash back in the pocket blow it up first. Good video.
That is a fantastic idea. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and commenting. I appreciate the feedback. Cheers. Dave
Hi Ron. Sorry I didn’t get back to you on this but I Use your idea all the time and it works perfectly. Thank you again for the great tip. Cheers, Dave
Thank you so much for the video. Very valuable information and feedback!
My pleasure. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
Awesome video!! Very informative and it's nice to hear it from a long run expert
Thank you so much. And thank you for taking the time to watch it and leaving a comment. It is appreciated. Good luck with your adventures. Cheers, Dave
You are SPOT ON with your description of the evolution hydration technology for runners.
Yes, I once owned the eight-flask Terminator Fuel Belt. 🤦🏻♂️
Wasn’t that Terminator a beauty 😜? Thanks for taking the time to comment and watch. It is appreciated! Cheers, dave
Thanks for the hydration evolution history lesson from someone who lived it. Had no idea belts were so common at one point, and then the hard-to-clean backpack bladder, and now it's no-slosh flasks. I recently started running distances long enough to require hydration (since losing 2%+ body weight in sweat == dehydrated), and tried a hand-held bottle, but hated the weight and sloshing noise. So, just bought a vest with two 500ml flasks and a 2L bladder, but your vid has me second guessing using the bladder if it's going to be a huge hassle to clean it every weekend. I might just get some extra flasks (that I know won't leak!) and store 'em in the back. Thanks for the idea!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching and subscribing! I love having the soft flasks and would be hard pressed to go to a hydration bladder. If you have water sources available on your long journeys, consider buying a filter and then you can theoretically go ‘forever’ without carrying >1.5L of fluid. As one of the commenters posted, ‘blow’ them up to put them back in the pockets - makes it so much easier. thanks again for commenting! Cheers, dave
Thanks for the information. I got a Salomon Active skin 8 vest and was wondering how to use the soft flasks. Your video was very helpful.
My pleasure. And the tip I got from one of the viewers was to blow Air back into the flask after you drink from it so it retains its shape. It works like a charm. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. It is appreciated always. Cheers, Dave
@@Dogwalkerdave Thanks for the additional tip.
Thank you so much for the information, greetings from Germany
My pleasure. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leaving a comment. It is greatly appreciated. Cheers back from 🇨🇦! Dave
Crystal clear! Fair play for redoing the video Dave. I think this version is even better too. I’m not sure if I recall seeing the image inserts of the fuel belts last time, but maybe that’s just my bad memory. Yoda is definitely new ;-) Interesting to hear how the different systems have evolved. This one does seem like an ingenious solution. Excellent, informative video as always. 👍
Thanks again Dave. I couldn’t live with the other disaster. No sense doing it unless you do it to the best of your ability. Yes, the soft flasks work well. You can even just carry them in your hand or put them in a ‘Fanny pack’ type pouch in a pinch. Cheers!
@@Dogwalkerdave It wasn’t a disaster by any means. I basically just use one of those fanny packs to put my key, a tissue or two, and phone in. And a mask these days of course. Been using it since I did my first and probably last marathon over 20 years ago. Still works fine! If I got a slightly bigger one I might be able to fit one of those bottles in, which could be handy for longer runs. Keep up the great work! Channel is going from strength to strength. Like and subscribe people!
@@hakanaimountainmoon Fanny packs definitely have their place and function! Thanks again for the feedback. Yes, growing a channel takes time, but I am in it for the
*long haul
Super helpful. Tired of trying to route the tubing when tubing is too long, etc. You deserve more likes!
Thanks Josh. Appreciate the comment and yes, the tube is a pain. Cheers. Dave
Great info
Thank you! And thanks for watching.
Thanks useful information. I'm a starting runner . I did just get an osprey belt wich i did enjoy but i enjoy walking for like miles and miles ... And bringing water is nice
I am glad you found it useful information. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment on my video. Enjoy the journey out there.Cheers, Dave
@@Dogwalkerdave yeah osprey gave me a free softwflask with my belt today and since I'm totally new to running i was like what the hell do I do with this..
Haha released my first video ever today
Great video, I have combatted the idea of it being tough to put a half full bottle back in is to blow it full of air to give it its shape. I often take one out to hydrate my dog on a run in her collapsible bowl, blow it back up to put it back. Problem solved.
Awesome. Glad I could help. Yes, one of the previous viewers of the video said the same thing. It works like a charm. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Appreciate it! Cheers, Dave
Can you drink from these flasks (without straw extension) without removing them from the vest?
You sure can. It’s not necessarily the easiest maneuver, but once you get the hang of it, you’re good to go.
try kalenji soft running bottle blue title
I have an Amazon knockoff and 4 others but might try those out. That’s a Decathlon brand is it not? Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
@@Dogwalkerdave u’r welcome 😁
How did I never think to bring a flask of Guinness on my runs!!??
It just gets a little shaken 😂
Too much time on the old stuff and you never showed how to get water out of the cap.
Thanks for the feedback. I’m learning as I go along this TH-cam journey.
