Joe from the USA. Enjoying your videos. I use the befree as well. The reason it clogs up is because minerals in the tubes crystallize. Soak it for 24 hours in a 10% bleach solution and that will fix the flow problem. Also when you clean it after trips use distilled water instead of tap water.

Thanks a lot for this tip Joe Hikes. I really love the Kadadyn BeFree filters and have bought more than one replacement filter in my time using them, I had come to accept the eventual slow filter rate and had two old filters which I had written off. Your explanation on why the filter clogs up and recommendation to soak is the first solution that I have found (of many that I have tried) to actually work. I was not keen to use bleach, so informed that the answer was to soak in a dilute solution I found a tip to use 10% malt vinegar solution instead, which worked a treat. Thanks a lot for the info.

@@doctorfeelgood4819 Because of the gap along the outside of the tent. If you have a 6" gap around the perimeter the wind can blow through and you will feel it chill you. For the sake of a few hundred grams the inner cuts this down and keeps you warmer. This is more important in the winter as the inner nest increases the temp inside the tent a few degrees and keeps the biting chill off. Just my preference and my own comfort levels.

Hi Ray, thanks for another really useful video, you’ve already helped me select some of my gear for getting started this year :) Do you use your Spark Sp3 sleeping bag in Scotland in the summer as well, or just in the autumn? Hope the feet have recovered by now. Thanks for all the great videos.

I got it for the cape wrath trail and has been good so far in summer. Even in summer a lot of the Scottish mountain tops can be very chilly and it has worked well. With the 3/4 zip I can use as a quilt if too hot. Have a bit of a game plan with it as well for the winter that may let me use it all year. That idea will get tested once the snow arrives. Atb

Renegade Scot Thanks for the reply Ray. It sounds like a versatile bag. I’ll be interested to hear how your game plan goes over the winter. Looking forward to the next video. Cheers for now.

I've been hiking for 30 years and it's always a struggle to get everything I need in the pack and keep it below 20 kilos 😁 (never happens)

Great video Ray. I’m going to show this my Dad. He’s a keen hill walker in the Lake District and he’d be really interested in some of this. I’d be interested in getting hip one of those GPS locators with the light for Christmas. Cheers mate
