Odd that you put this video up. The last two days I've been trying to figure out what to send with my sister in law when she gets deployed. I'm going to send her with my grayl.
Great review, Bryan! I love these Grayl bottles and I keep one in my Jeep and one at home. Even though our tap water is "clean" I still use the Grayl to purify the water for taste purposes, water for our Mr. Coffee and any food products that require water for cooking or baking. For example, I made a chocolate cake last night and the mix required one cup of water. I used the Grayl to acquire that one cup. The cake came out moist and delicious. Lately, I've been saving pack weight to my camp site by taking an empty Grayl and one 500ml plastic bottle of Smart Water then use the Grayl to purify any additional water needed. I've done a taste test in my backyard Hobo Camp after acquiring water from the nearby James River, tap water from the kitchen sink and water from the garden hose (without allowing the contents in the hose to clear first). I used a Sawyer Mini, a Katadyn Befree, a Vapur and the Grayl to filter 500ml of each water source. The water purified by the Grayl produced the best tasting water. The others tasted "clean" but still had an element of taste that made me want to add a flavored electrolyte to it. As an Air Force IDMT, one of my job tasks was to check the water source for our radar sites and military sites on foreign (NATO) bases. At one of our installations I discovered that jet fuel was being dumped near our water source. After submitting test results our command communicated with the foreign base commander and the fuel dumping process was put to a halt. Water, filtered and purified, is vital to our bodies and never take for granted what appears to be clean water that it should be consumable.
The Grayl is great. I have three (two GeoPresses and one UltraPress). To extend the life of the filter, it is advisable to pre-filter the water with a fine cloth or perhaps a coffee filter.
Thanks for sharing, nice review. Recently, I bought the Grayl Geopress and I'm really happy with it! Easy handling and clean water ... just perfect! :)
Use mine every day even for tap water. Makes it taste much better. Have used it to purify flowing river water and stagnant pond water. Works great but taking the first sip from it after filling with scummy green muck is a bit of an act of faith lol.
You rested the filter on the dirt! I would definitely try to float a bandana over opening to keep out particulates. And always clean exposed edges with napkin dipped in white vinegar to sterilize.
Fabulous video, will definitely be getting myself one of these. Would love to see you do knife reviews out in the woods as well as apposed to the backyard if your time allows. Think it would be a great refresh for the channel 2021.
Great to see you out in the field sir 👍🏽🏞️🙏🏽 Great review. I hope all is ok, you seemed a little panicked in this video.. a great product for sure, thanks for sharing.
Ive had one for over a year and like it a lot. One shortcoming I found on a CO elk hunt was the trace amount of unfiltered water freezes pretty quickly making the two half’s impossible to separate. I guess the solution is to be more vigilant on drying out the container section in cold weather.
I recently bought the Grayl GeoPress and like it. I've carried a way to purify water since I got sick on bad water in a remote area of Paraguay. I was so ill that I became delirious for 3 days. Bad water can become a life threatening experience very quickly.
I still have my replacement filter for the Ariix Puritii that's sealed up for emergencies. I wonder if it still compares. I still use by HydroBlue in the bush. Definitely thinking about getting one these though.
Hello. If we put tap water directly into the bottle through the cap without having to use the filter, the filter is not used and it does not wear it out?
Using a bandana to keep out the floaties as a pre filter, works good. Also helps the filter last longer.

Open the cap when pressing, itll go faster

Good point!
Love mine, awesome outdoor and survival gear. Tested it in Mongolia, Korea, Malaysia jungle etc.
Just started using the GeoPress and have been very pleased with the results.
Don’t forget, any filter in unusable in the event that it freezes. The ice will crack the filter, allowing the bacteria and viruses to slip through.
Fabulous video, will definitely be getting myself one of these. Would love to see you do knife reviews out in the woods as well as apposed to the backyard if your time allows. Think it would be a great refresh for the channel 2021.
Love the Grayl! I have two.
Have had one for about a year and love it
Just bought one.
That looks pretty cool i'm definitely gonna get it. Also Brian I'm going camping today with the Troop.
Ich liebe den Grayl Wasserfilter

Thanks for this, I believe I will try one now! God bless
Definitely need to get one of these!

Great review 👏
Saw this on fowlers makery and mischief pretty cool filter
Brother, Awesome video Best Regards! I hope
Great edc item to have
We have these & live them
Just ordered one, cheers.
Nice video, but forgot to show how hard its difficult to take out the inner bottle...
Brian, you pushed the filter in the dirt when you filled it
I noticed that, but didn't want to say as he seems really preoccupied in this video
Is there a source for a molle compatible pouch for the Grayl?
Good video water necessary, way to clean it essential, can you clean it by back flushing the filter?
I HAVE 4 OF THEM
Hello. If we put tap water directly into the bottle through the cap without having to use the filter, the filter is not used and it does not wear it out?
That sounds right but I recommend you each out to the manufacturer just to be sure, not some dude on RUclips ;-)
@@SurvivalOnPurposeok Thank you.
I like the soft area on top cuz my hands, like my feelings, are sensitive.😉
Your description is messed up with lots of xxxxx?
Oops. Thanks. I fixed it.
SORRY,,,,,,YOU SAID ,,,,CHINA,,,, NO GO
They said on their Facebook that the part that actually filters is made in the USA.
@@RustyShackleford-gl1vi So everything else is made in China? Everything is made in China anyway, Pres Clinton accelerated that in the 1990s.
The flu gets a Chuck Norris shot every year.🤣
Got one and it's great when I'm on wild camps🏕
Love it
👍
