I went the Ely Steam Sauna one night, and all the locals living outside town were there as usual. It was a minus 60 and we took turns starting each others car about every half hour...and drank a LOT of beer. I love where I live!

@@MiyagiontheTrail that's cool to hear - those groups have generally become too big to really be meaningful... at least in my opinion.

I was there just before New Year's with no snow and the ice on Whale Lake too thin to walk on. I was hoping for the kind of winter weather you guys got but no such luck! Also, love that Coleman oven. I've made some great baked goods in there.

It’s amazing how fast the lake conditions changed. We had about 12” of solid ice. 🧊 I prefer it much colder, but it was an interesting experience with the warmer conditions. I agree on the Coleman!

I watched this around the time you and Jeremy posted you videos and thought, yeah that's an easy mistake to avoid. I'll never.... 6 months later, I was about eight miles into what was supposed to be a 27 mile and 2 night trip when I realized "I'm an idiot." I couldn't get a drop out of my Squeeze. I almost did it again after that first incident, but fortunately, remembered to stop and test my filter on my way to a trailhead. It worked for me, so I wouldn't have been in trouble on the trail, but how many times does it take before you wise up?

i know it's a little late but are we sure the vinegar doesn't damage the filter?? I mean it is an acid after all!
@MiyagiontheTrail4 ай бұрын
Household vinegar will not harm the filter. This is directly from Sawyer’s FAQ from their website: Q: “I NOTICE WHITE ALL OVER MY FILTER OUTLET AND IT DOESN'T FLOW AS FAST AS IT USED TO, WHAT DO I DO?” Sawyer’s Answer: Sounds like you are getting calcium build up. Soak the filter in vinegar for a half hour and then back wash it. You may have to repeat this a few times to get it completely clean.Filters with a small pore size are susceptible to clogging due to hard water deposits. Additional Info: Most drinking water will have some divalent cations (Ca+2, Mg+2) that forms insoluble carbonate salts (from dissolved CO2) when it dries. The reason to rinse with vinegar is that the acid in vinegar (acetic acid) will dissolve the carbonates salts because carbonate is a base. It reacts with the acid to form soluble acetate salts and carbonic acid that decomposes to form CO2 again (mix baking soda and vinegar if you want to see the reaction). However the salts take some time to dissolve. So what I do is to run some vinegar through the filter, seal it, and let it set for a while (an hour or so), then flush that out and repeat until you get a good flow rate. Then run a large volume of tap water through it to get rid of all the vinegar. Then you can run a bleach solution if you want (I have never found this necessary if you have do a good job back flushing, vinegar washing, and rinsing). Finally you need to flush it well with DISTILLED water. Make sure it is distilled as this will be free of ions that will precipitate and re-clog the filter on drying. Reverse osmosis purified water might work, but I only trust distilled water. After the distilled water rinse, you can dry.
