The Hike-ALOT school itself was born as an avenue to give students from the wilderness survival school and my frequent day hiking companions, make the jump from day hiking to overnight backpacking. The name itself is a reference to where our students come from - Arkansas(A), Louisiana(L), Oklahoma(O), and Texas(T). That is why it is "ALOT" instead of "a lot".

I've been using the $15 Stanley Cook Pot for years with my Grayl. You have to leave the Stanley's plastic cups behind, but the Stanley with the Grayl inside will fit into one of WalMart's $5 Stainless Steel Cups, and as a bonus the Stanley lid will fit the cup. Add a Hot Lips heat shield (2 for $6) to the cup if you're a "softie" like I am. I'm cheap, $23 bucks beats out Pathfinder's $50 for me.

The one-way valve came installed on my new Geopress.

[@Hike-ALOT]

Oh that’s awesome. It’s good they are adding those now.

[@shawnferguson7477]

ok that is awesome, and I love the fact that I don't have to get a new Grayl to use those new filters. Most companies would require a new system all together.

[@Hike-ALOT]

Yes I felt the exact same way. It was great timing for me too as it was about time for a new cartridge. I’m just glad they came out with this before I ordered the Gen 1.

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

Didn’t know about the new filters and one-way valves! Those Pathfinder nesting cups are nice, have one for each of my Grayl Geopress bottles!

[@Hike-ALOT]

Yeah I really just found out about them myself. It was welcome news.

[@xderiwx]

Nice! Is it okay for the Grayl to be used/filled like a normal bottle, where I'd fill it with water from my home system before heading out the door, not through the filter itself, but through the spout? Thanks!

[@Hike-ALOT]

Absolutely. I do it before heading out on every hike.

[@xderiwx]

@@Hike-ALOT Perfect, thank you!

[@failure2communicate2u]

Yes and no. Yes if you keep it upright. No if it is packed horizontal...it leaks. Not a lot, but enough to wet your gear. I guess it wasn't meant to be a travel water container (unless upright).

[@oldsoldier181]

@@failure2communicate2u So, I have had this problem in the past too. However, I just switched to the new filter with the one way valve in it, and have not experienced that yet. I have kept it full, upside down, overnight, with zero leakage. I have NOT tested it after filtering yet, but I will. I suspect that the leaking was from A) a back trickle from the purified water, back into the outer shell (which should be prevented now), and B) the newer filter part has a better rubber gasket seal to prevent leakage.
