    My most important weight saver is that I finally admitted that I suck at photography. I paid thousands of dollars (well, euros) for lenses, drones and action cams until I discovered I can also make photos nobody cares about with my IPhone. Saves me a lot of kilos and time.

    I think gravity style filters are better than squeeze style ones. I use the Hydroblu Versa Flow filter in combination with the CNOC 2L bladder for my gravity system. Hardly heavier than a lot of squeeze systems available and longer lasting (no bursting bladders)

      i just got a Life Straw 3 lite drip system. Wanted to try something other than the Sawyer squeeze.

    • @roberttrinies7698
      @roberttrinies7698 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Squeeze filters can be used as gravity filters with a simple adapter.

      Love high volume gravity filters for base camp and group trips. Nothing beats a katadyn befree in my shoulder pocket while I'm solo and on the move!

    • @jays7318
      @jays7318 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@roberttrinies7698 The Hydroblu Versaflow doesn't even need an adapter and it is lighter than the Sawyer Squeeze at similar flow rate and half the price

    • @MattyOutdoors

      Gravity setups are fine for in camp.. But on trail, they're quite inconvenient in my experience. I like the speed of my Platypus filter. I can stop, scoop water, and filter a liter in under a minute, and I like having that option.

    Local Edm viewer here. Love the channel and of course your passion for the Oil! I have been interested in both the new ZenBivy Ultralight and a UGQ Bandit quilt over the last 6 months. I've never seen or touch either...which makes ordering online from the US always risky. Do you have any suggestions on which direction I should go based on typical temperatures in the Cdn Rockies here from May-Sept?? I am usually a pretty cold sleeper. Also how about quality of construction?

    • @MattyOutdoors
      @MattyOutdoors  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      In terms of quality you cant go wrong either way. Zenbivy setups are definitely a little more posh in terms of materials, and their soft texture, which does make them a bit heavier then a UGQ quilt.
      For temperatures, my UGQ quilt is a 20F (-7C) and its plenty warm for spring, fall, summer.
      This summer I used a 30F zenbivy setup (0C) all summer and into the fall. The 10F zenbivy setup would definitely be a closer comparison to the 20F UGQ in terms of versatility getting into spring and fall, and be more ideal for a cold sleeper
