This checklist is REALLY helpful because the left hand column names the item and the left hand column explains why the item is important. I like that you can print it out if you wish and then tick off the items as you pack them for the particular adventure that you will be going on. This is a FREE DOWNLOAD that is worth having so you won't leave any important items home. I am going to laminate mine and use a white board marker on it so that it will be reusable.
Packs super small and compact
Fits anywhere in your car
Economic on gas and great with the charcoal option too
The whole Nalgene hydration system just makes sense when hiking, big enough bottles for day and overnight hikes. I would recommend buying the swig rig and the filter that goes with it.
I’ve used the filter a couple times now and noticed it worked straight away. I filled it up with tap water in Adelaide and it changed the taste of it completely and that’s how I know it works. Looking forward to using it on more hikes.
I used it multiple times hiking the Morialta in Adelaide. Such a good piece of kit to have, instead of constantly opening my bag to get a drink. The extra price of the insulation was worth the money because it’s more durable.
