It is important to check your gear. This trip proved it.

Wish I knew you were going there a couple days ago. I could have bailed you out. Hope to cya at a P Fest. 👍

[@atypicalhiker]

I plan on being there.

Gear failures suck!Great to see a video from ya. 👍👍

[@atypicalhiker]

Thanks 👍

[@IceBearHalfwayPoint]

It's good to see a video from you! Sorry that your filter screwed up your trip. I carry a brand new extra filter on every trip, ever since that happened to Walker. We pack our fears. At least you had yourself one night out. Weevils in the oatmeal! 😫 Goodness! I've been wondering how you're doing. Long time no film! 💚

[@atypicalhiker]

I have been a fulltime caregiver for nearly a year. Mom is in a nursing home now so I decided to get out and hike. I will probably do it again soon.

Gear failure happens... I always carry a new filter with me just in case my current filter fails... I learned that in this same way... Good to see ya out Kevin.

[@atypicalhiker]

Now I know you have to test that water filter if it has been sitting dry too long.

[@HikeCamp]

@@atypicalhiker Yep indeed... Always soak and flow test my current filter before heading out. ATB my friend.

[@MtnWanderer-TieDye-]

Man that sucks.

[@atypicalhiker]

It worked out ok.

[@WanderingMonkHikes]

Kevin, man I’m sorry your filter failed you. Good to see you again though. Peace my friend.

[@atypicalhiker]

I will be sure to test my filter next time and bring the correct phone charging cable.

[@SeniorHiker77]

Sorry about your gear not working.

[@atypicalhiker]

I realized how out of shape I am as well.

[@hydroselator]

Weevils are protein!

[@atypicalhiker]

Not for me.
