Thank you for watching this one as well :) The only bottle that I was able to fit in securely was the drink bottle that I used in the video. It does not fit the Nalgene. It's too small, sadly.
Thank you very much for this informative video! Do you have an advise how to protect the filter in your backpack? The nozzle for the hose made of plastic looks like a weak point of the Construction. Best regards!
Hi there. Thank you so much for watching. I'm so sorry about the late reply. You caught me right when I was traveling from Germany back to the US :) About protecting the filter, when I took it with me, I kept it in the little box that it came in or I put it in the little bag that the Katadyn Rocket filter comes in. It's honestly pretty durable. You could also wrap it in a small pack towel and put that in a ziplock bag or small plastic container so you don't get your backpack wet. Another thing I always do with my water filters is keeping them on the outer pockets of the backpack for easy access. I hope that helps. Let me know what you end up doing. I'm always eager to learn from others as well. :) Have a great day, and thanks again for checking out my video.
@@adventuresandreams herzlichen Dank für die ausführliche Antwort und die guten Tips! Ich hatte überlegt, den Filter in einer kleinen Objektivtasche zu transportieren, dies scheint mir jetzt aber etwas überzogen. Ich denke, in eine Hülle/Stofftuch in der Tasche des Pocket ist vielleicht die richtige Lösung. Beste Grüße!
@@wildnisw5451 Kein Problem :D Das ist ehrlich gesagt eine gute Idee mit der Objektivtasche wenn sie leicht und nicht zu groß ist, aber es geht auch wirklich einfacher mit dem Handtuch, was du ja sicher so und so mit dabei hast. Wo kommst du eigentlich her? Ich bekomme selten deutsche Kommentare und bin neugierig :)
Hi Yosser, thanks for watching my video. Hmm, that's a good question, and I honestly can't think of a direct way to connect this filter to the BeFree. Maybe you could create a separate system with tubes to squeeze the filtered water through it. I also never tried if it needs to be pushed through or if gravity might move the water through the carbon filter. Either way, you would have to filter it first, then have that clean water in a pouch to drip or push through the carbon filter with tubes. If you try any of that, please let me know. I'm very curious how it might work, and it may even be worth creating a follow-up video about this subject. Thanks so much for sparking my curiosity about this :)
@@adventuresandreams Thank you for your reply. It may be too convoluted a process but I will look into it separately and let you know. My issue with the BeFree is that the taste isn't great so I am looking for a system that does everything. What would you recommend for a system to filter water and correct the taste / smell? I would be traveling around the world (Central America / Asia) but not to any places where viruses will be an issue (no stagnant pools of water etc). For example would you recommend the Katadyn Pocket Filter and Katadyn Carbon Filter together? Thanks again.
@@yosserhughes271 Honestly, if I had a choice today, I would get a combo filter like this one, the Katadyn Vario. amzn.to/3V2qvrb I have never tried it, but it seems to be a super simple system that combines the best of both filters, and I trust Katadyn with my life, so it's top quality :). Would you go camping and backpacking with it, or is it for travel, in general, to make sure that you have clean water? The Pocket filter is practically indestructible but very heavy, and you need to add the carbon filter to it for the taste.
@@yosserhughes271 In that case, the combo filter would be perfect for you, I think. It will do everything that you expect and should be light enough even for hikes. If you are traveling around the world without too much access to replacement filters, I would recommend getting extra carbon and the other filters to make sure that you always have safe water to drink. Enjoy your travels! It sounds amazing :)
They make nice filters, but in my opinion, that thing is junk. You’re better off getting an in-line filter like a carbon block. Then getting the necessary hoses to work with it if you’re really worried about chemicals and stuff like that.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I agree with you that there are better options out there. Katadyn has a pump filter that's a combination to take out bacteria and chemicals. If I were to buy a new one, I might get that instead of having two separate filters. Most of the time, the simple and very lightweight BeFree filter is all I need, though. :)
Hi there oder auch hallo! Ich habe gemerkt, dass du auch deutsch sprichst? 😁 Erstmal danke fürs Video! Ich bin kurz davor mir den Pocket und eben diesen Aktivkohlefilter zu holen und war seit einigen Tagen dabei, andere Eindrücke wie beispielsweise deine zu sammeln. Jetzt sagst du aber gerade, du würdest dir ein anderes System holen wenn du nochmal neu kaufen müsstest? Was wäre dein Favorit? Gibts da was, das auch robust ist, gut filtert und Aktivkohle einsetzt, aber besser konstruiert ist? Liebe Grüße aus Bad Tölz! 😃👋
@@Muckihito Hallo! Danke für's anschauen und deinen Kommentar, und liebe Grüße nach Bad Tölz! 😃 Also der Aktivkohlefilter ist schon gut, aber es ist doch etwas mühsam, den in Verbindung mit einem anderen Filter zu verwenden. Also wenn ich noch mal einen kaufen würde, dann auf jeden Fall ein Kombifilter. Ich vertraue der Firma Katadyn schon seit Jahren und würde also diesen hier kaufen: www.katadyngroup.com/ca/en/8019670-katadyn-hiker-pro-transparent~p6723 Ich habe ihn leider nicht, kann dir also nicht sagen, ob der gut gebaut ist und lange hält, aber wie bei allem outdoor gear muss man einfach gut auf seine Sachen aufpassen, sie reinigen, und trocknen. Falls du dich dafür entscheidest, oder vielleicht auch für den einfachen Kohlefilter, dann würde ich gerne wieder von dir hören und wie deine Erfahrunen waren. 😃
Если пользоваться угольным фильтром не регулярно , в нем начнут развиваться бактерии. Поэтому я разместил в нём серебренную проволоку . Она должна на 10% сократить количество бактерий.
Hi there, thanks for watching more of my videos. I really appreciate it. What a great idea about the silver wire. I never thought of that. I don't use this filter too often because the water in the mountains tastes really good, but when I do use it, I dry it out afterward.
If you enjoyed this video, please consider buying me a coffee :) www.buymeacoffee.com/adventuresandreams
Very well done video, thank you for being thorough!
Thank you! :)
Thank-you. Nice and clear. Odd that outflow side doesn't fit the Nalgene bottles. It doesn't fit the Nalgene Wide Mouth either?

You are most welcome. Thank you for watching :)

Hi thank you for the video. Would you know how to use this with the Katadyn BeFree? Thank you

Katadyn BeFree is a hollow fiber filter. You have to buy carbon filters separately.
Yes, for sure. Thankfully, I haven’t needed the carbon filter often. There is nothing like the delicious spring water in the mountains. :)
