The cotton balls and Vaseline store extremely well in a prescription pill bottle. They are completely waterproof. I have carried and used one pill bottle filled with the cotton and Vaseline for over 20 years and it is still functioning very well. No grease or smell on anything.
Yeah I'm really hesitant on the GPS, and it's via experience using it. I'm a prior guide, that currently co-owns a field craft academy specializing in SERE training; in my free time I teach good guys how to kill bad guys in the dark, and then escape through the wilderness. I was attacked by a Grizzly, and he ran off with my pack. I was fine, but irritated and cold since the event happened in the evening with all my sleep and cold gear in my pack. I was a good 15 miles up the trail and I figured if any, this were the best time to use my Garmin SOS.. I'm met with *"we're dispatching rescue"* followed up with *"rescue is waiting for you at the trail head 20 miles south."* Ultimately I discover that search and rescue wasn't sent, it was a local PD, with zero to no experience, and if I were to wait it would take them multiple days to reach me. The person I was speaking to was a local police dispatch, to some poe dunk, back woods town. I literally walk back the 20 miles to my would be rescuers, just to have a 20 minute discussion and a goodbye. GPS SOS is a fkn joke. I'm infinitely more capable than the 99%, and I've seen dozens of content creators share stories with *IDENTICAL* experiences to mine. I couldn't imagine what it would have been like for a yuppie, hipster ultra lite *walker* with no experience beyond following a manicured trail. GPS is worthless for anything other than guidance, which is why a cell phone will suffice. Ultimately I guess someone would have came, but by then it would have been nearing 3 days. Do not expect to receive aid... The best way to prepare is to be capable and competent. Or maybe just stick to trails that allow you more options for survival. Ultimately if it were life and death I'd start a fkn forest fire and I recommend you do the same. Had I not been on a trail that didn't allot the usage of firearms, I would have murdered the bear, grabbed my items and went on my way with a cool story. It's irritating knowing that those with no genuine life experience dictate legislation on trails..
You left out a big one - a portable, electric massage chair.
Trust me, it is worth it's weight in gold on the trail. All the other hikers' will gladly pay $100 for a 15-minute session. Best piece of gear I ever purchased!
Bryce, you nailed the need for the Sawyer backflush syringe. Dual purpose: Works great to irrigate an open wound. But it's first purpose is getting the glacial silt out of the filter, I've had it happen a couple of times when I thought I'd picked a low turbidity spot and wasn't as selective as I thought. Also great for priming the filter in spring after packing away during the frozen season.
I use the cleaning coupling for my Sawyer. It’s a 28mm, double-ended thread that allows you to hook a water bottle up directly to the outflow side. That works well to backflush using a regular water bottle like a smart water bottle. It also works as a single piece gravity connection.
@@williamcronkright5430 Hm, I've got that connection for gravity feed, I'll check it out as a backflush and see what pressure it provides. Thanks!
@@memathews I run a CNOC bag on the dirty side of the filter and then directly into a SmartWater bottle using the coupling. Then before I disconnect the bottle, I invert it and force the clean water back through the filter. Be sure to tighten it down first; during the filtering operation, you have to leave the threads loose to allow air to escape from the bottle. The obvious problem is that you need clean water to make this work, so if you're in the backcountry, the filter has to work first. It also leaves you with a partially empty bottle at the end, or a filter that wasn't back-flushed as the last thing it does. These obvious shortfalls aside, it's worked very well for me on my 3-5 day solo trips. I clean it with the plunger when I get home before it goes back into storage.
Gorilla tape the black kind is a really good fire starter too. So it has more then one function.
Great essentials list Bryce. At my age and size I carry my Spot every time I backpack or hike remotely. In addition to the cheapest subscription price, Spot also offers international rescue insurance for $3 a month. I hope I never have to use it, but I'm glad its there.
“Just so thick and the perfect length”. The Ferro rod is pretty great too.
Learned a good lesson in the snowy Smokies. I had my trusty Garmin inReach on the highest loop of my daypack when I fell off a trail. Sliding fifty feet down a hill ,I was finally caught at a 60 degree angle by my ankle in a dead tree. I was on my back and my pack slid down my back (straps went up my chest) with the inReach caught under my right shoulder. I was stuck hanging by my ankle without the use of my emergency locator. I finally got free, that's another story. Moral to the story, I always hook my inReach about even with my nipples and on my non-dominant side to help me reach my communicator if all goes wrong again.
Mine stays on my chest pack, so even when I take off my backpack, it is attached to me where I can reach it with either hand.
Wow. I never thought of that. I am going to buy the In-Reach this winter. Now I know this tip.
One question though? What if I was born without nipples?
@@chriseidam7319 Then you’ll shoot yourself in the knee.
With the iPhone 14, no need for the gps emergency beacon anymore.
Great savings! Only one device to bring. 👍🏼 About time.
Thanks for the info, just picked up the fire plugs and rod and can't wait to try them!
A multiple repeat visual in quick succession of the backwashing technique with the sawyer plunger would have been sweet!😁
Agreed. Haha
I use a F-F adapter to directly attach my smartwater bottle to the sawyer. Weighs much less and takes up much less weight than a syringe.
Yeah I didn't bring the plunger last summer. I bring it now.
Great video. I agree with the pack liner and always use one. I stopped using a Sawyer after losing a few of the O-rings. Now I use a Versa Flow. No o-rings: has attached caps on both ends; and you just flip it around and screw it to your water bottle to back flush. Great flow rate and cheaper than the Sawyer (still my runner up👌).
For the filter, I just use a tube on the end of it. Few feet long. That way I can use it as a gravity filter if I want. But you can blow the water back up the tube to backflush.
Guess the syringe is nice if you need to irrigate a wound or something though.
Backflowing filters is an essential practice on the trail. A question for filter manufacturers -- how much pressure can a filter like the Sawyer & BeFree withstand before it is damaged? MSR ceramic filters were sold with test dye that could be used to test the integrity of the filter element. I would like to be able to test filters after clearing a severe clog.
My BeFree will clog up after long term storage, I think due to natural impurities in drinking water. They will free up after soaking in vinegar for about an hour.
I have those fire starters and think they are great. I tried the recommended breaking in the middle and also tried closer to one end to see if it burned longer but time was roughly the same
Amen on the plunger for your filter!
I have never successfully restored good flow by back-flushing with a bottle. I have learned this the hard way too many times, when I try to save weight and space by not bringing the plunger. If it’s really a big deal, get a 30mL syringe instead. Lighter, smaller, and can actually produce more pressure. (Sawyer plungers are 60mL syringes).
Also, if you’re not going to use a filter for a while, it’s important to get it ready for storage. Flush it with a citric acid solution (Lemi Shine works), then a very mild bleach solution, then flush with deionized water and let dry. That avoids hard water and algae plugging up the filter.
Great list bud! I like those spark plugs!
Thanks Bryce! Just scored some of those firestarters and a couple of different tins to carry them in. Appreciate the discount code too. Much like you I am kinda cheap...ahem...I mean I do like a good value! 😉
I had that happen last year with my filter. Sat in the closet for months, then it was clogged on my trip. Getting ready for a trip now so thanks for the reminder to check my filter before leaving.
I make my own starters with egg carton, dryer lint and wax. Basically free. Easy start and long burning time.
We use Nylofume bags and we beat the heck out of them, never have had a hole in them.
Very Helpful!!! 💯🏕
Great video, Bryce. Couple thoughts: did NOT know about those fire starters--must have held onto my Cody Lundin books for too long (I have soaked cotton pads). Thanks for that tip and yes, I plan on using your code. On tape: if I could only have one, it'd be the duct--because it does ALL of those things. I wrap my water bottles with a few feet of it (I also do the same with about a foot of leuko tape on...my iodine bottle in my FA kit). Still, I like the plunger tip and I'll consider it.
Eh, no shipping to Romania. Well, I'll figure out something. Thanks again Bryce.
You can also use the plunger to get water from a very shallow water source. For me once an item has more than one use it becomes justifiable.
Except you’ve then contaminated the syringe, and could introduce cooties to the clean end of the filter.
@@jonsanford2515 potentially. But I imagine the chances of that are pretty slim. If you’re filtering spring water from a mountain, most likely the water is not contaminated in the first place. And I doubt the little microbes would live long in the plunger once it dried up. But you are correct, there is a potential risk. But I can still use it as a squirt gun for trail days! ;)
I've been to survival school. The Pathfinder school, Dave Canterbury. I do the minimum of gear I take with me. But one of the gear is a must for my family is the Garmin big screen GPS.
I wrap my hiking poles with duck tape, as well as using a garmin mini 2. I have epilepsy and I’ll go out on solo trips when I’m healthy and it gives me a peace of mind like no other.
Excellent video, Bryce. Love the real talk. Subscribing from this, alone 👍🏼 Cheers!
3:15 thicc 😂🤣
Pack liner inside my Zpacks ArcHaul for the win.
"Mommy I'm scared" 🤣
Note to self - mail some Esbit tabs to Bryce...😁
They actually make the lightest fuel for boiling water for coffee or oatmeal in the summer months. I actually hiked the Georgia section of the AT in 2006 using only Esbit tabs in March. Spoiler: I survived. Now I use a homemade alcohol stove. Alcohol is also my go-to firestarter, since I have it on hand anyhow - double duty, one of the "ultralight" mantras.
Good advice, learned the hard way a few years ago…make sure your water filtration is functional before leaving.
Excellent as usual ! Laughed a lot 😄
Discover Gaffers Tape and never look back at duct tape again.
I make little roll up flats of it and leave them everywhere I might need them.
The new iPhone14 got it covered. So I save weight , since I bring it anyway. Talking about satellite emergency signaling..
Good content. I follow everything accept I bring a second filter. (Ita about the same weight) 1 is none, 2 is 1..
Duct tape, a man's bandaid 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing some of your insight.
I coat cotton balls in wax and shred them up, it’s great, natural cheap and last forever, burns for around 10 mins if u burn the entire thing, but it depends.
I keep jute twine soaked in wax wrapped around my sheath. Much less expensive, every bit as reliable.
So happy that the iPhone now has satellite SOS.
I could not agree more with you than your opinion about Bigfoot Bushcraft fire plugs. They are the top of the heap when it comes to all other brands.
People coped very well in the old days of map and compass.
OMG i got screwed by the Sawyer thing LMAO. Okay lesson learned. Bringing the syringe now.
Platypus quick draw will do away with the plunger and you can check the integrity of the filter.
The new iphone 14 has the emergency service built in and it free for 2 years. Should i upgrade my phone or buy a spot and pay for the service???
Garmin spot or zoleo are better than the phone features.
Thank You BNB I just used your code and ordered fire starters.
Q: the Beacon you tout; does it cost monthly...and if so how much (plz&thanQ) ~theDreadedBohemian
Try a Grayl water filter works great on all water all over the world.
We have the Platypus QuickDraw so we don't have to worry about back flushing like we used to with the Sawyer. Definitely agree with carrying one if you have a Sawyer though!
Dude Vaseline is like a buck cotton balls like 200 for like two dollars
So, don’t laugh but I’m getting a SPOT for use at my school. I attend a huge-ass public uni in CA and heaven forbid you have a health emergency on campus or after dark. There are no street signs or distance markers. “Hey, yeah, I’m over across from the library where the upside down baby on the checkerboard is painted.” AND there are no name signs on the buildings either. The campus is designed to keep students from protesting in groups. (I kid you not.) So, yeah, non-backpackers just don’t get it. I’d totally prefer being in the woods. 😮
Makes sense!
Jeez, Thank God it wasn’t another video about the Nemo Tensor!
Wrong channel. He’s not Dan Becker
@@chili1593 Referring to the Schill Bros.
Haha, great comment! It speaks to my inner r/ultralightjerk humor.
Experience hiker doesn’t mean they’re smart. Always have a rescue GPS satellite communicator. It is better than dying!
We carry a Sawyer and a BeFree.
"Mommy I'm scared" 😂
... If you forget how to bend things you should probably consult a doctor.
I like the way you say "" YOU DIE."""😆😆😆
🤣
In backpacking If you don't have the right gear you DIEEE! Subbed! haha
My set of cast iron.
2 minute boil . Pureify water.
As always you are spot on without being annoying and fumbling all over your words like most of the higher subscribed channels.
I have no idea why you would never use a GPS beacon...or garmin...I solo hike overnights in mt hood all the time and knowing i can text home so my wife isnt up all night is worth the price.
But the safty issue is #1. If they don't use one. That's their issue.
Make your own fire starters with wax.
0:43 - message loved ones eh... what if one doesn't have loved ones? What then huh?
dont know what to tell you.. lol
Why bring a fire starter if you have a lighter???
It’s a satellite communicator - not a beacon. Even if they are transmitting tracking data to a map site (like I do with my inReach Mini 2), well - that’s a location upload, not a beacon. Beacon has a different meaning.
I make my own fire starters - cotton makeup pads soaked in vaseline and coated with wax. Sometimes just cotton balls with vaseline in an old 35mm film canister.
As far as tape goes, Leuko Tape for blister prevention/treatment, and Tenacious Tape for repairs.
For pack liners, I love compactor (not contractor!) bags - very strong and a good size.
I backflush with the thread-to-thread adapter and a bottle - I get a lot more pressure/flow than I can with the syringe. To the person (@morevananything7183) commenting they don’t need to backflush their Platypus QuickDraw - good luck with that. To the fellow talking about introducing contaminants to your clean side by backflushing (@Snfguy)- you are obviously doing it wrong…
The “feller” was referring to no clean water in the field… to use for back flushing… thus introducing dirty water.
@@markcummings6856 Indeed - which means he screwed himself into a no-win situation. You backflush as preventative maintenance to PREVENT a clogged filter - if you wait until you HAVE a clogged filter, you just screwed yourself. Personally, if I WAS in that situation (which I never will be, because I pre-filter, backflush properly, AND carry redundant backup systems), I would STILL backflush to clear the clog, and then do a copious amount of filtering to flush whatever contaminants were introduced, because, what is your other option - drinking unfiltered water… His comment is a shot in the foot, not a helpful solution to anything…
@@justjonoutdoors Um, yea, ok.
Happy Back Flushing
Mommy I'm scared.
It is amazing I've backpacker for over 50 yrs. And never needed a beacon. Your advice is very niave. Your Firestarter is just pos.
😎🏔🏕😎🏕😎🏕😎🏕🗻🗻🗻🏔
1. Yeah, if going remote
2. Depends on season and skill level
3. Packliner - YES. Ask Dan Becker why.😂 But please stop calling your backpacks waterproof. They aren't and no manufacturer claims so. It only serves to confuse noobs.
4. No. Just backflush before you leave and when you get home. If you don't have clean water in the field, you don't want to backflush and introduce bacteria to the clean side.
You backflush, with CLEAN water, as PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE - NOT to clear a clogged filter. If you wait until the filter is clogged before you try, well, you’re screwed unless you have a backup system…
You seem like a very angry person
@@Billy-lq4fu Why? Because I don’t waste words on nonsense? Or does EMPHASIS bother you?
Be honest with yourself … do you consider yourself a happy go lucky person? Just ask yourself is all I’m sayin.
I like the bienie you have on your head 😊
Jeeeez. I really need that shit. Thanks yo !
