"im out of water" he says surrounded by snow
milliliters are standard measurement to be honest ;p
Couldn't agree more 😅
yea the US just needs to catch up with the rest of the world. im glad they went with metric instead of whatever our dumb shit measurements are called
@@TheLeesto that would be the imperial system. And yes, agreed!
Exactly haha, don't know what he's complaining about.
The Katadyn BeFree water filter fits on there too.
Kyle Ribinsky came here to say the same thing. To me it’s just another bag for that, with a shower attachment.
Yep, was gonna mention that too. That's the whole reason I bought one, to use as a gravity filter, and I gotta say it worked great!
Yep 👍👍
I would think you could leave the bottle upright and because it is collapsible it should collapse as you suck through the hose.
I used it on the first 20 miles of the PCT. I put small carabiners on the attachment point, I found that made it easier to use. And I paired it with Katadyn BeFree water filter. It all worked great for me.
Great video. Seriously you knocked it out of the ball park with this one! Balanced review of what looks like a great product. Kudos for getting your kit off and taking a video whilst you shower post run!💪👊
Yes I use the Katadyn filter on it as well. Have two bags. One for dirty water and one for clean.
I bought one of these bags about 2 years ago on a whim. These are awesome! Living in AZ and hiking in the desert, I didn’t think it would hold up for very long, but no holes as of yet. The fact that it folds up and doesn’t take up a lot of room when it’s empty, is an extra bonus. Now I’m going to get the shower kit that I just found out about. 😉
After watching this I went and got one. Love it, I have the 5liter for camping. The two liter fits in most of my packs. I think the 3 liter will fit my two hiking technical packs. These are awesome.
You don’t need to put it upside down ! I have one and as the bottle is flexible, there’s enough pressure to drink even when the tube is placed on the top
Makes sense, creates a vacuum. Thanks for pointing this out, this will be a great addition to my MODL bottle. The main thing I don't like about the MODL is there's no insulation option. A neoprene sleeve or something would be so easy, cmon!
Like the versatility of the Hydrapak water system. Purchased a couple of MSR Dromedary 4L water packs for a back country trip in the Guadalupe Mountains a couple of years ago. The MSR water packs definitely did not have the versatility of this water system.
Platypus had a similar issue with leakage on their Hydration Systems several years back. They tweaked their design and moved the outlet connection from the bottom of the water bladder to higher up so there was not as much pressure on the outlet connection.
i use it with the befee water filter....i love the system... i have had the problem with the hose also
I bought the Seeker 3L and the Insulated Hydrasleeve for as what I see as the greatest feature of the Seeker system, as a companion to the Katadyn BeFree water filter. Hydrapack makes the bag for the BeFree water filter, so it has a common thread size. So now I can use my BeFree on trail, but when I'm getting close to camp I can fill the Seeker up and use it as a gravity filter for around camp. Game Changer! Also with the Hydrasleeve to insulate the Seeker, I can let that hang on a tree, and not worry as much about it freezing overnight. Plus the Hydrasleeve will keep your water cold for much longer when the temps are warmer.
This hydra bag works Awsome with the Katadyn replacement Screw in water Filter ! Great Video 😎👍
try the The SOURCE Convertube kit in blue or tan, i have one and it fits hydrapak,nalgene and sigg bottles.
Awesome review on this product. Will definitely be buying one. Thanks for educating me.
Thanks for sharing this! I must get this kit for my Hydrapak Seeker! 😊
My first thoughts about the hose is to clamp it with a small radiator hose clamp. They come in small sizes too. Just a thought.
Не давно приобрёл такую же канистру, только на 4 литра и с фильтром, ещё не пробовал.
I've had the 3L one for about two years now and just found out there's a shower kit for it! I also have the katadyn filters so I can drink straight from it.
I use Sawyer filters and
Cnoc bladders interface with the threading
The Source converter kit makes it into a hiking bladder
Looking at it looks like the camelbak quick link system is compatible with it, might be worth looking at, much better quality hose and connector, the other thing is you really don't need a hose cover even in winter just blow the water back into the bottle and that clears the hose and at the same time it stops the water from sloshing around and making noise when its half empty.
I’d get it for the small rinse off capabilities and the fact it’s an extra container for water 💦. Thanks Aaron enjoy your weekend
As for the hose...I think if they could somehow fix a flex straw that goes from the cap to the bottom inside of the bladder you would be able to carry it upright and still get water to drink. I do like the system but would probably not use the hose. The shower sounds good after a hot summer hike. Carry it on the outside of your pack so the sun heats the water up. Also, I have Vanquest packs. They have those loops at the bottom of the pack. I could carry the water using the two side lashing points along the side. I will probably get one with the kit. Thanks for the vid.
GT good one I will be looking into the plug and play thanks
How about if you put a small pipe clamp to tighten the hose?
what about a hard plastic right angle plug and play at both ends seems like it would keep the hose from coming off when the bottle is horizontal?
Milliliters ARE a standard unit of measurement.
Thank you!
In the winter with my camelbak, I tuck the hose inside my jacket. It has worked for me down into the teens.
Can you keep it upright and suck up the water through the hose?
That’s good for outdoors 😍
Aaron, go to the auto parts store or department and purchase the smallest radiator hose clamp, screw on, problem solved. Great presentation...Abe
That's ingenious. Thank you for the idea, I definitely will be doing exactly that.
This was a family channel...now I’m not so sure after the shower scene!! Lol
It was hot, too hot 🥵 lol
I’ll just keep using my 2 litre is army canteen or as last resort a large pop bottle which is tough and free
you could jubilee clip that insulated hose onto the nozzle, or glue it, or use a couple of cable ties to help clamp it onto its nozzle to reduce the chance of it popping off. Personally, i'd use the cable ties I think, as they are plastic, very light weight can be trimmed so there are no sharp points that could dig in & puncture the bag when rolled up. Jubilee clips tend to be metal & have sharp parts on them. I'm pretty sure the issue could be quickly & easily addressed, I don't think it would prevent me from getting/using that accessory if I wanted it.
Very useful review, thank you.
Ziptie would fix the problem maybe? I like it but
Might try,as you said,water hose clamp,automotive style,plastic if possible,with clamp connection.At auto shop,probably inexpensive
Just get a jubilee clip on it or a spring hose clip if you need it easily removable, from any car parts store, easy fix sir.
Killer video as always🔥
Just fyi, if you just keep it straight up it works just fine. You don’t really need the gravity effect you can just sip it regular suction.
Whats your latest water solution?
Why not have a straw to the bottom so it doesn’t have to be upside down?
As always, solid, practical advice. Good work matey.
Why would you need to turn it upside down with the hose?
Micah Thomas because there has to be gravity pressure on the attachment in order to let the water flow through when you’re drinking
I figured you would be able to just use suction to draw the water out.
@@gideonstactical What you need is a pressure difference great enough to move the water to a higher elevation. The negative pressure you create with your mouth is working against gravity in this case. Think of it as a juice pouch.
@@gideonstactical WRONG!!! So wrong. It was such a great video until you tried to (incorrectly) use it upside down. Gravity isn't needed to use a straw. As you drink through the tube, you draw water out of the soft bag and it gets smaller. Please try to drink with it upright. Then post an update to your video showing people that these can be used upright. It's so frustrating when a reviewer doesn't understand how a product works and then spreads misinformation. Physics still works with a soft bag... It's no different than drinking out of a glass with a straw...you don't need the glass upside down either. In all my miles on the PCT, I never used my soft bags upside down.
Wonder if he figured out to use a zip tie to clamp the hose to the cap attachment
Not too shabby... Especially for the price.
You dont need to place it upside down
Its basically a straw
Suck out all the air to compress the bag and all the water will pressurize
I'm so glad someone else realized this. The soft bags do NOT need to be upside down to work with the drink tube. Gideon should post an update so that people will understand this. These are awesome on trail.
Thank you 👍. What about mold growing in it over time?
Noel Townshend I don’t think that that would be an issue just like it wouldn’t be an issue in a water bottle like a Nalgene.
gideonstactical I was thinking ... the Nalgene bottle has a wider mouth or opening so it will allow more air in the bottle to air dry. The hydra pak’s opening / mouth is a bit smaller, it won’t allow that much air inside to air dry over time. Too, the hydrapak has a bit more nooks & crannies (not a straight walled container like the Nalgene bottle), so a little water could remain in hydrapak and get moldy? Just trying to think of everything before I buy .. 😊
I have the 3L of this to go with my BeFree water filter. It's not gonna mold while you are out using it. I just rinse mine out once home, and hang it to dry. Dries in like an hour, and I store it hanging with the lid off. No nooks and crannies to get stuck in, completely dry. Works great and since Hydrapack makes the bottle for the BeFree, the Filter can be used on either bottle flawlessly.
This guy is a legend
Is the threading on the bottle the same size as a standard water bottle where you can screw in a sawyer mini directly to it?
mythrol The HydraPak cap is 42 mm. AFAIK the Sawyer uses standard 28 mm, same as pop bottles or Smart Water. So no, you cannot screw the HydraPak into the Sawyer. Instead, I am looking at using the hose to mate the HydraPak to the nipple on a similar inline water filter.
Same here 🤘
3 years on, how is it holding up? Still reliable?
Importantly, how does the water taste? Does it taste "plasticky"?
2.6oz=74g and it folds pretty compact. I'm thinking combined with a Sawyer-mini, a condom and a small pack of purification tablets, I could have this HydraPak permanently in my sheen pocket as Layer-1 (clothing pocket contents) Container (for emergency situations if I don't have a metal cup or steel canteen on my person).
Still have it no weird tastes
Small zip tie will fix that
What instant coffee do you drink/recommend?
TictacAddict1 there are several good ones, Starbucks is good, but Folgers instant isn’t bad either.
U know the B-Free filter will screw into the Hydrapak.
Can you thread a straw filter on it?
Not that I know of, but the Katadyn BeFree filter fits on it being that Hydrasleeve makes the bottle for the Katadyn BeFree. Works great together! I own the BeFree 1L the Seeker 3L and the Insulated Hydrasleeve for the Seeker. Awesome combo!
Try a zip tie on the hose.
Anyone knows how to fix a little puncture on this hydrapak?
I know they make different patch kits for jackets that are water proof that might work
Cool soap I’ve been getting the giant bars of soap from Duluth 3 times bigger than regular soap bars works great smells great and Duluth also sells a large scrubby that their large soap bars fit it so u can really get your scrub on while taking a bath shower or in a lake.
The 20.00 is only the 2L not for the other ones on Amazon
You have to select the blue color to get the lowest price...I ordered the 4L in blue for $19 on Amazon.
What jacket are you wearing?
Sergio Rodriguez outdoor research Ferrosi grid jacket
It can hold a liquid at max temp of only 60 degrees Celsius. I'd say it's pretty far from boiling point, unless you're talking about boiling point at like Everest. 😄
Where can you get the shower head attachment?
The Main adpter
@@gideonstactical is that a store or the item? I’ve tried searching all day and can not find a site that sells them or even a picture of one. Any in detail help would be great and appreciated.
Ok i just ordered the entire system thanks to you and your review.
Thanks ✌🏻🇵🇱🇺🇲
Not sure what this offers over the CNOC bladder for backpacking or the CamelBak for activities. It looks like it's trying to be everything to everyone. I guess if you don't want to invest two pieces of gear but looks like they need to go back to the drawing board.
I use it for water storage and as a gravity filter, as the BeFree water filter from Katadyn screws right on perfectly. Much faster flow rate than any other filter on the market. The CNOC Vecto works with Sawyer water filters, but they're much slower than the BeFree filter. I don't use it as a bladder on trail. I use my 1L BeFree, and fill up the Seeker at my last water source before camp.
ml is the standard measurement everywhere else
Millimeters is standard
👍
Hey Gideon do you live in Pennsylvania?
yes
Schnaps, can I go there?
yes
New watch?
Justin Hoffman yep have two Casio illuminators this was $11 dollars
smart bit of kit
Nothing a zip tie can't fix
The tube on mine is so tight I can’t even pry it off the nozzle. I think yours was a fluke. Or maybe mine is a fluke 🤷🏼♂️
Look at that first again, hell yeah bois
Don't put it upside down. Once you suck the air out of it, you won't notice any difference drinking vs if it was upside down.
I would prefer the self reliance steel bottle and large cup the bottle fits in the cup along with a Titanium bowl titanium spork. For steel it’s actually fairly light and just doesn’t hold water u can also put it over. The fire for cooking or purifying water through boiling same with the cup and a titanium bowl to eat along with titanium utensils and doesn’t way much more at probably 3 times the weight but your water pouch must be very light so 3 times that weight isn’t a big deal and u get much more utility. I have a few titanium plates but they don’t fit in the cup like the bowl spork and fish mouth opener that works great for hooking to your cup or bottle for hanging them over a fire and a second titanium cup that also fits inside the cookset quessing it weighs a hair over 1 pound for a great kit. It will cost u around $50 but that’s only $30 more for a better kit check out self reliance they make everything for old school and new school camping bags knives bottles tools tents etc everything a guy in the woods would need.
This definitely has some military applications. Just wish it was USA made.
Lol @standard
GT - Love your knife and gear reviews, but this is a "NEW AGE" and MADE IN CHINA ===> OUT ! I know, COST right? Hey we gotta find competitive options that are not MADE IN CHINA, plain and simple, we have to try and adjust our mindset. Not against the people of China, but firmly against CCP who profits from every purchase we make of things made there. You're a great reviewer, and I can tell a great person, this is not a troll, just comments to humbly suggest the NEW AGE :-) Cheers and God Bless.
Many people seem to complain about terrible taste and smell it gives to water no matter what they do and how long they use it. What can you say about it from your experience?
Hose design is absolutely terrible btw. I can't believe they thought it's acceptable to sell something like this.
"Made in China"=Bad deal at any price.
This was really painful to watch. Its NOT a bad design. Its USER ERROR. Cringe.
That hose connection is a bad design.
