I’m a cheap ass when it comes to spending Money but put out the bucks for this and glad I did, I like the fact it covers so many illnesses issues

Would filter out covid but unlikely you’ll encounter water contaminated with covid I guess

Wow the scenery of this vid is absolutely gorgeous!

[@windchill8013]

The mountains are called snowy range/medicine bow I grew up camping and playing in those mountains, and the water fall, looks like green mountain falls

[@vince4316]

Love the Grayl...saw them on Corporals Corner channel about a year a go. Been using them since

[@Productum]

Thanks for sharing, nice review. Recently, I bought the Grayl Geopress and I'm really happy with it! Easy handling and clean water ... perfect! :)

[@jt-xn8bw]

I love the scenery in the video, I have the GRAYL Geopress and I would not go back to lifestraw or mini Sawyer. They sold me on being able to filter viruses.(as well as other bacteria etc)

[@Adam_Newman]

Bought the Geopress & love it !

[@edwardschofield6692]

Great vid.great info.Beautyful area.Plan on getting the press.Virius,chemicals does it for me.Thanks always helpful.

[@SoberDon74]

This is an ideal BOB item, especially because it has more than 1 function - water bottle (2 water bottles actually) and water filter. I wish I'd known about this earlier when I put my BOB together last spring. I have a Nalgene bottle, sawyer mini, and lifestraw which actually takes up considerable room.

[@christianb8228]

Still a good kit you got buddy

[@randywilson1134]

Sold, bought mine today!!!

[@charlesp9681]

I'll give it a look at. Definitely less expensive than the Lifesaver 4000 bottle and Lifesaver Liberty, but I've used the Lifesaver system to purify water that would have sent someone to the hospital so I know it works. They both look like they use a similar principle.

[@goneoutside1011]

I love them I don’t use anything else. I do t know if any straws that can do what this one do with such ease

[@edwardannable5468]

I have two I took mine to the Philippines with me and I would buy it again never got sick ever

[@JimRodgers]

it's a great system. I used the Grayl GeoPress on my last three multi-day backpack trips to process all of my water. Worked without any hickups. On summer trips I can go through 1-1/2 gallons a day and the Grayl system got the job done.

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

Yep, I have been using the Geo Press for a few months and really do like it, I didn't buy the Ultralight because of the smaller quantity. I do drink directly out of it but its primarily used to refill my CamelBak MULE while biking and hiking.

[@stephenbarone4053]

Hey Aaron, bit off topic, but I know you have been reviewing the new offerings from Sog. Just recently picked up the TAC XR. Pretty sweet. Manual action. Midayway usa has them on sale in the clearance section for 60 right now. Curious what you think.

[@darrenboorman4365]

Surely with this though, ref sharing, you have to squeeze and then pour to share, where as the sawyer you can squeeze it directly into the other container.

[@preppinpastor8736]

Definitely on my list to buy

[@titanpreparedness]

Havent used this system yet but i really like the idea behind it. Too bad they dont make a water filter and coffee press in 1. Keep the filter system but then be able to use a french press for coffee. Two for 1 special

[@lukelee3]

The 24oz can be backflushed with an aldi 15oz tika masala glass bottle, 🤣. Fill the inner bottle to 1/4 full with purified water and put the glass bottle in and push. Untwist filter and push glass out from bottom and repeat steps. Do it 5-10 times. Easy.

[@larrylightle9108]

Have u tried the hydro blue filter water bottle if so whats ur opinion

[@PJ-is1jy]

I recently purchased the grayl geo press and was really let down to see that with the zero water tester tested tap water tested exactly the same straight from the tap as it did after putting it through the geopress... Then with the ionizer test where you put 2 electrodes in the water it didn't do any better than the tap water... The zero water filter by contrast did very well. I searched the KZbin for similar test and apparently no one is doing this.

[@allemansratten4281]

Been looking at the covert black awhile. Any idea if it will nest your titanium toaks 750ml?

[@fireboltthunder2360]

Sounds like something i could use at home, want to get the tap a little cleaner then it already is. Heck knows what we're drinking out of the tap right?

[@adamnoman4658]

Having it tested might be a good idea.

[@phillipanythinguk1122]

Seen this product kicking about you tube the last few months looks amazing my only question would be how would I know whan the replaceable filter is ready for changing lol knowing my look I would still be using it at a 400 presses 🤣🤣🤣does it change colour or indicate when it is done.. Thanks mate amazing vid as ever RICK👍🇬🇧

[@morganw02]

When it gets hard to press, you know it's time to change. I have the smaller version and the directions say if it takes longer than ~25 seconds, it's time to change it.

[@ResidentGex77]

Hey Aaron, Thanks again for another awesome equipment review and excellent item. When you get a chance and after some more hikes I would love to see a follow-up review in 3-6 months to see how the product and use is holding up. Keep up the awesome reviews Rez

[@Eric-ew8jt]

First for Gideons tactical

[@FT4Freedom]

The grayl filter elements are very good quality but are extremely sensitive to turbid water. If I don't prefilter the water the element is clogged in a few cycles. Even lower relatively clear water will challenge my filter. I have never had a filter last more than about 20 gal. It just doesn't press after a while. Prefilter is essential for filter longevity. No capability for backwash. Buyer beware. This filter is an impartial system without a good prefilter system for glacial runoff, tannic water or green pond water.

[@adamnoman4658]

"impartial" = imperfect? Important considerations glossed over by the touts. And cost considerations: $60 for two nesting tubes of Chinese plastic?

[@dash8465]

Get some Trident silicon grease for the seal. Its food safe (recommended by Grayl) and just a tiny bit smeard around the seal does wonders for this thing. I really like the Grayl, but... Its best only if you're on the move and want quick fills, dont use a bladder, anticipate frequent water opportunities, and the water you come across is clean'ish without much particulate. Its heavy'ish and redundant with a bladder, bladder + Sawyer Mini is lighter and more compact. The Grayl occupies a lot of space, its bulky, and if its on your pack someone has to hand it to you or remove the pack. Its easy enough to trasfer a nasty from the outer shell to your mouth with the Grayl. You can not back-flush a Grayl. A Grayl filter alone costs more than a whole Sawyer kit. The Grayl is expensive as hell. So here's my take on it... the Grayl is great, perfect, for travel into places with sketch tap water, or if you're on the run and need to keep moving or evading. Otherewise.. The Sawyer is much better for trekking the wild with a bladder.. simply fill the bladder during a rest with the Sawyer (whats your rush anyway), the mouthpiece is always right there on your strap, there wont be a big 4x11" bottle to haul around or be reaching for, and you can back-flush the Sawyer if needed. There wont be any moving parts or seals to fail, no big bottle to break/crack if dropped on a rock. Plus, your not all day handling the container that you dunked in the skank water... And, you save 90 bucks upfront and 30 later when its time for a new filter, which comes sooner than later in the woods with dirty'ish water and no way to backflush the Grayl. Think long and hard before dropping big coin on this "latest and greatest" option.

[@lowmofo]

Good points to take into consideration. Thanks 👍

[@xpxp1]

the Sawyer doesn't filter chemicals or heavy metals though..

[@SAMMIEJONESJUNIOR]

Lol you can hang this on the outside of your pack or chest strap.

[@SAMMIEJONESJUNIOR]

Also if you want a purifier the survivor water purifier straw is the best option. I have that and a geopress.

@@gideonstactical I camp there all the time, we probably just missed each other. If you come back up to Wyoming I'd recommend the Big Horn mountains for your next trip. If you're up for a bit of a day hike its totally worth it. Lost twin lakes was my favorite.

[@SeaCatFl]

A good looking system but unfortunately not for me right now. I live in south Florida and the need for water is a bit different due to the high Heat and Humidity. Because of this I use a Sawyer Mini with a large Bag to do a Gravity Filter. (My normal Summer Water Load out is a 4 Liter Camel back style Water Bladder and a 1 Liter Water Bottle. That might last 1 Day depending on where I'm Hiking.)

[@thomasmartin8580]

Would a lightweight ratchet strap work to compress this. Seems like an ackward position to press down.

[@eward1963]

They are not that hard to press down on ..I use mine everyday at home ..I'm on well water ..I set it on the counter and press it down..easy and fast compared to other ones I have ..this is my favorite.. I was using a Berkey Go ..but I didn't like waiting when it was out ..now I don't have to .and the water is cold because it didn't sit in a container at room temperature.

[@adamnoman4658]

The buzz is that Grayl is considering a solar-powered motorized version. You might want to wait for that.

[@outdoorandbushcraft39]

I still don't get why this would be better then the katadyn be free filter, or even the Sawyer filters. You could do the same with those, but they are a lot lighter than the grayl

[@xpxp1]

Sawyer doesn't filter chemicals or heavy metals.

Put in a pack or if it’s long term just dry it and put it wherever filters have a three year shelf life after they’ve been used

So there isn't mention to how hard it is to press... kids? elderly? are you putting all your weight into it?

[@gideonstactical]

That’s a good question. You do have to use body weight, my four-year-old probably couldn’t press it but anyone over the age of eight should be able to

[@BC-ec5sj]

There is no value to this product (price versus performance). If you use a gallon of water a day you only have 65 days of use per filter. That is for one person only. The US is not a third world country so the level of purification that this is rated at is not needed. If it works for you great, no value in it. Later.
