Great video! The importance of water cannot be overlooked. For overlanding/camping I have been using the Sceptor jerrycans, a Life Saver jerrycan which has a filter and can be pressurized with built in hand pump and a Grayl GeoPress purifying bottle.
Hi Curt. Thanks for your feedback. I have been seriously thinking about getting the Life Saver jerrycan not only for trips but also for general preparedness. The Grayl Geopress looks like a great idea as well.
I'm unashamedly a hydrapak snob. They have a 2Q unit in every pack I own. Empty it, flatten it, throw it in a bag, get through TSA, fill, fly. It's paid for itself just in airport water.
Thanks for watching Scott! I admit I am a brand snob for many things but because I like good quality and once you find that you keep coming back.
Just found your channel. Great information and gear. Pls keep them coming.
Thanks for watching Stephen! I have taken a few months off relocating but will soon start producing more content.
Great video! Those hydra packs are a must have for my Elk and Deer hunting trips. I’ve used a platypus back packing water bags in the past with a 50/50 success rate. By the way Awesome shirt!!!
Hi Jason. I have to admit I have been impressed with the Hydrapak. Will probably try a few more of their products. Yes, I am a big Sig fan ......... a little surprised YT didn't flag me for wearing it
Great video! New to the channel. Glad to hear You liked the Waterport product. As a family of five it was always car camping, Overlanding and backpacking I have been looking to upgrade our water system. I have been looking at the Waterport 8 gallon. Your video was very helpful. We subscribed!
Thanks for watching and subscribing S&T! I am looking at the 8 gal as well and wanting to mount it to my rack under the tent. Definitely on the to-do list.
Thanks for the link!😁
Thank you for all this info very good.... at the minute 5.16 you talk about the cap, is on the way when you use the jerry can water..... just put velcro top of the cap and one jerry can body or on the larger cap close to the vent
Hi FAB. Thanks for watching and the suggestion. Great Idea!
Keep up the great work!
Thanks Lum Ne Va for watching and your feedback. Helps to know that the content is well received.
very helpful I got the same one you did for all the reasons you listed thanks
Great, enjoy and thanks for watching!
Good stuff!
For the sceptre 5ga, i use the Harbor Freight battery pump transfer unit. I just extended the hose from the pump into a gravity bag for katadyn high flow filter. Hydrapack also has a cap adapter and optional spiget and or mini shower head.
Great, thanks for the info!
I enjoy your videos. Thank you
Thanks for watching and taking the time to give your feedback. We appreciate it very much.
Excellent video. I'm off to look at HydraPak.
Thanks for watching Detch!
No expense spared - always pay for what you get and appreciate the quality of items you’re reviewing. Keep up the great channel.
Thanks for watching KTM. Yes, I totally agree, save longer if needed to buy the good stuff!
Thanks for the walkthrough! It seems for me that soft storage is the way to go. You can carry a couple of soft water bladders plus some extras and only fill what you need and keep the extras stored up. I like that they are lightweight and compact, can be hung from a roof rack, often have straps to carry them and can attach backcountry filters. Water is heavy enough so why wrap it in even more weight like a heavy and bulky Jerry can? If you need more you can always fill up the extras and through them in the back or strap them to a roof rack.
Sea to Summit X and MSR Dromedary bags seem like great water bladder options too.
First thanks for watching and your feedback. I agree with you totally. I use the Hydrapak, shown in the video, quite often and as you mentioned, there are many great bladder solutions out there.
I bought the MSR dromedary bag for its durability, but I stop using it because it tastes like plastic no matter how many times I washed it.
@@whenspringbegins thanks for your input. I still haven't purchased one.
I have 1 water rotopax on side of bed rack so I can put my shower pump in it for now later want to get a front runner water bin in bed of truck and I use life saver jerry can its all in one pretty much and have few grayl geopress’s they are great for back up and for hiking
Hi Trevor. Thanks for your comment. I am actually thinking about getting both the Life Saver and Geopress. That FR system is pretty cool.
Great video, thank you! One quick question.....can you post the link to where you bought the extended nozzle with the blue spicket for your Scepter 5 Gal Water Can? Thank you! Great idea!
Hi ML. thanks for watching. I can't remember where I got it but this link will take you to a company that sells it as well (I found a few others too). Looks like the cost has increased since I made the video. www.sportsmans.com/camping-gear-supplies/hydration/hydration-accessories/nrs-scepter-nozzle-for-water-containers/p/1434901?channel=shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8qmhBhClARIsANAtbofENEx9OlhJLPJddrm4tZTYyr21ySgO3x0HjbngWfcj3_Rh6RhCWCoaAt2yEALw_wcB
Water port makes a cap so you can take off pump cap. I have the water port portable 2 gallon shower tank. I put a Metal Schrader valve in the solid replacement cap. No more pumping.
Look into a MSR Dromedary, that and the Septer is all you'll need for your overloading trips
Hi Uncle Fjester. Thanks for your response. I have been interested in the MSR Dromedary for a couple years and for what ever reason, I have not purchased one yet. I even took another look a couple weeks ago to make sure they were still available. Their durability appear to be simply amazing. Thanks again for your input. I think you just pushed me over the edge.
I have one, but I can’t stand the plastic taste
Where can I find the water filters for the Scepter cans you mentioned?
Actually it is a different can that has the built in filtration. Made by Lifesaver:
amzn.to/3liz0Nd
For the cap, I would suggest a tiny peace of velcro glued in the right position.
Thanks for watching. Yes, Velcro is a great idea!
Pro tip I just learned - the small cap can press onto the air relief valve.
I like the military looking one and the bag one I think I’ll prolly just order the military one
Yes, it is a solid choice.
04:50 stick the cap over the breather cap and it will stay put.
Any issues with water flavor using the HydraPak? I've tried almost every kind of soft container out there and every one of them never fails to add a rubber/chemical taste to the water.
Yes their is some taste difference from the container.
I didn't read all the comments. This may have already been addressed. The cap for the spout fits snuggly over the breather spout.
Is there any way to stop water from sloshing in a 6 gallon container?
Some containers include baffles to improve container stability while transporting. There are also baffle balls that can be placed inside the container. I have no experience with the baffle balls.
Great video....On another note what kind of watch is that your wearing!?
Hi Moses. Thanks for watching. this is the watch I am wearing ( amzn.to/3x7E623 )
I have had it for about 5 years and wear it everyday.
Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving, off-road. We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!
I’ve slept out side in Idaho in -20 in a 4 season’s sleeping bag rated for 40 degrees. Slept in Alabama on an old closed bridge in the pouring down rain on the ground in an inch of water soaked to the bone. Shelter is a luxury not a necessity
Is he a super slow talker? I bumped the speed to 1.5 to get him sounding normal.
The more money you spend on gear, racks, clamps and containers the safer you'll be!
I had no idea a person could live for 3 weeks without food 😬
Hi Ryan, personally I don't think it would work out for me ........... I don't want to miss one day
@@WeekendOverland agreed 😂
Here is the thing, if you can find gas, you can find water…
Say something that we don’t know already dude..!wtf
