hello ... very useful items in both bags to help you and your family out. Covering major areas with some backups. I see you have one of those cages too. someone had a lot to say :) take CaRe and all the best to you and the family from "CR"
Coming back to this video a little later due to the day's work ahead of me, but just wanted to say that I am glad to see new content creators in this area of YT on top of the usual suspects. Subbed 👍
That is not a bad set up, all in all, but I can promise you: you want to go with another water filter. The Sawyer is cheap and lightweight, in theory a great item for ultralight hikers (solo) but not a good idea for normal people ;-) especially a whole family. The flowrate is very bad and will get even worse after a month. It's so bad, that even said ultralight hikers usually bin it after some time and get the heavier model. I own one, I am not just repeating internet rumors. You should, for example, take a look at the Grayl filters, unless you want your family to wait for clean water to drink for an hour each time.They are expensive in comaprison, but they are worth every cent. Your gear seems to be all new and unused - please please go out and test it, before you need it.
Yes, you are right, it's only for an individual use. I actually have other filter, the survivor filter pro, I will make a video but I believe the best filter is the DIY charcoal-sand-gravel filter that you can replace every few months. What do you think?
@@SinghOutdoors you need to build that very well and change it often, and you will still need to boil the water. it's the best filter if you have none ;-)
@@couchcamperTM Question for you about the Grayl... I have moderate-to-bad carpal tunnel in my wrists depending on the day. Not so much glaring pain that I am dealing with, more so not having 100% ability to grip/twist/pull things apart. Based on what I've seen with how it operates, it looks like it will probably aggravate all of these things for me. It seems like a great product, but no sense in dropping $90 on something that will affect my physical deficiencies. Do you think you can hand that thing to an 8 or 10 year old with good wrist function and they could operate it with no big issues? 😊
@@wmluna381 I think you could have him operate it, but I also think you could do it. It's not that hard. You can apply the force with your underarms and don't even have to use your wrists to push it down. Pulling it out *may* be a problem, but I don't know how severe you are handicapped with your cts. There are also gravity filters on the market, that can be filled with dirty water and hung from a branch, maybe that's the best option?
@@couchcamperTM Thank you for all the details. They were helpful. I wasn't planning to have an 8/10 y/o to be my Grayl slave. I feel like my wrists probably have the strength of someone in that age group. 😄😉 Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my question. Happy Holidays!
