Lenntek Electric Shock

And what you had to take so much szpeju?

In early October of this year, I was going to go somewhere in the mountains and relax from the problems of everyday life. Frankly I was not going to suffer and to discover new lands. I was a dummy company, or lack thereof. I wanted to relax. But "luck" would have it, I accidentally found companions for the journey, who had already marked out the target. It was the highest range of the Romanian Carpathians - Fogarasze. Going there, I had no clue how to pack and what to take so I prepared for the conditions of autumn and winter. Hence the importance of the base of my backpack (the weight of equipment worn in a backpack, including himself, without food, water and fuel) went beyond the standards ultralekkości. backpack weighed 5.85 kg . The reason was a tent and amount of insulation that allows any freezing temperatures to survive. Weight of food for 6 days was 3.5 kg. He was also weight 125 militrowego gas tank (210g) and water. Initial weight of a backpack with two liters of water exceeded the 11.5 kg.


During the journey, it appeared that the weather intertwined trick us - quite a nice trick. It turned out that instead of the metro snow, which is usually already in arrears in the mountains in early October we had a summer. At least during the day temperatures reached 25 degrees. In the night they were close to zero, sometimes a little below.

Dress:

Underwear: Anticipating the cold chose Under Armour underwear designed for temperatures below 12 degrees Celsius. T-shirt with long sleeves and leggings. I did not take any extra clothes - no boxers. Of course, summer conditions have forced me to hide leggings in your backpack. The shirts have used frequently, but I was in it for heat. Next time I will rather thin underwear with Merino wool.

Insulation : pants and jacket with Polartec's Classic Alvik Micro (the popular one hundred). Their destiny is insulation in the day, when parked, and as a sleeping bag insulation. I admit that the solution found too warm. The only moments when it was really needed was a moment when the evening we stopped camping, the tent was not broken before the man stuck to the sleeping bag was damp underwear and he was tired and went back after the shivers. As the warming of the sleeping bag proved to be too warm. Maybe if I took a summer sleeping bag would be more in place.

outer layer consisted of airgun Montane Lite-Speed, Montane Terra pants. Both things have been hit. This jacket weighs a bit more than I wanted, but it has a cool hood, which turned out to be perfect when you walk on a windy night. Now I know why you wear a jacket with a hood. While saving 80 grams (because that is the difference between a Lite-Speed \u200b\u200bGolitem Whisp) tempting;)'s Montane Terra Pants - very cool, well-breathable, fast drying, strong, good-fitting. Well protected from the wind. Patent is a good side leg vents, draining excess heat. Could still be a little longer to lay down the leg on his shoes, so that would meet them less grass seeds and other debris.

waterproof layer : Haglofs Lim jacket and pants with Paclite pertexowe Warmpeace company. I did not take these things to be dry. Pants provide extra protection against wind and are not even waterproof. In case of rain had delayed pants gets wet, then dry, but mostly docieplić and protect from the wind. Haglofsa jacket was more thermal insulation during the march. It was not raining, so I have not tested its water resistance.

Docieplacz the stops : Bergson jacket on Primalofcie Copenhage Sport 100th This is attributed to it a article of clothing. Perfect for stops and camps. When something does not blow very much, it can successfully move up as the top layer but when the wind is stronger, better to insert it into the Paclite jacket. Then insulates better. The material is nieprzewiewny, so I do not find a logical explanation for this phenomenon - just a subjective feeling. Jacket is a bit heavy as a standard for ultra-light, I weighed 505g. It could be at that weight a little longer in the ass.

What's on your feet? Rohner Socks Original Wool (second pair in a backpack) - my favorite socks for years. I've used them in winter and summer. Ciężkawe little, but the properties successfully compensate for extra weight. Here, however, proved to be a bit too warm. Boots - Salomon Fastpacker Mid GTX - Very comfortable, fit, well-kept in the ankle. Deserves praise sole - its shape, grooving and material of which it is done is sensational. This keeps the ground as silly as such Fogaraszach is a necessity. Of course, the beach at what was there, the membrane did not give advice. Once a day we had dry socks. To protect your shoes and socks before garbage pick-Gaiters took the land that previously transformed - Salewa Speed \u200b\u200bTrail. One could expect the snow, so I saw the sense in taking away their. The design after my intervention has proved to be quite useful, but their breathability was at gumaka. Already I took for what the manufacturer describes as a "membrane" and I delete it. Gaiters were probably struck at least part of clothing during this trip.

gloves of windblocka I used only once in a chilly evening. Balaclavas stretch I used frequently - both in the evenings, during a march in the cold mornings and during sleep.

Tent: On this trip I could finally test in mountainous conditions of my new MSR Hubba HP . I packed it in company bag, but I did not take bags into the frame and pins. Along with six titanium pins pegs and 3 weighed 1350g. This is not a light weight as the number one. There are lighter. Nevertheless, the tent was very resistant to strong wind. On the first bivouac at an altitude of 2,200 m above sea level I set it sideways to the wind direction, which resulted in noticeable effects at night. The wind was blowing so hard that I had to give vent to the ventilation and close completely, because after opening the wind pumping air into the bedroom with impressive force. Despite attempts to wind up the tent does not poskładał. Next time, remember not to tempt fate and put it to the summit to the wind.

Material bedroom was very good - despite the semi-tropics podwiewającego wind did not allow the interior of hypothermia. The floor in spite of transparency has given advice on sharp stones. Condensation in the high parts did not exist at all, while in the lower regions of the morning the tent had to be dried. It was not very difficult - the design allows disconnection tropics and flick the excess condensation. Then just pack everything in a long sack. The only drawback was the construction of the tent of exhaust back wall - company line tension lock was not very well thought out. It replaced the corresponding mobile node locking under the influence of line tension. Vargo Titanium Herring's proved to be as good. The beautifully kept grounds in a mountain, but I never expected that titanium herring bend so easily. However, after the Terra Nova pins (also made of titanium) do not expect a revelation, and yet it surprised me very positively - proved to be stronger than titanium tracks, and guys kept equally confident.

Sleeping: Expecting the frost so I took a Cumulus Quantum 450, which was too warm. Much too warm. 200 grams of powder could easily manage, given I have always sleep in his underwear, socks and cap.

Mata : Thermarest Ridgerest cut to the size of 120x50 cm. Very comfortable and maintenance-free mat. Isolation from the rest of the land was empty backpack.

Backpack : Golite Jam 2 available for testing by Arizzon. I have previously described its characteristics in comparison with the occasion of his first version. Yes - Jam 2 in 2009, is a bit heavier, but a whole lot more convenient. 9-11 pounds loaded backpack rests and glued to the back. To test the system left the company carrying foam in the back. " Although the bags in which I kept clothes, sleeping bags, tents and food takes the rather strange shapes foam has fulfilled its task - to maintain a comfortable backpack design. The supporting system is in the backpack just perfectly polished. After a day-long march never felt uncomfortable or tired shoulders. I believe that the backpack has several components to slim down - unnecessary length of ribbon and chest strap in my opinion not very useful. Ingenious solution proved to pouches a waist belt.

The one I wore all the little things (multitool, tablets for disinfecting water, filterek, first aid kit and a flashlight), the second camera. Add to this side mesh pockets, which I had bottles of water and essential elements of the dressing room did not have anything taken out of the backpack while walking, because all the items I had on hand. Although attachment to my first cavity will be seduced by the second cavity Maybe it a little weight loss of unnecessary items that add weight, but it will certainly find a place on my back. By the way, that the new system is Jamie 2 ComPACKtor. It helps reduce the volume of the backpack when not needed. At the same time thanks to two gumkom easily be adapted to troczenia mat or tent from the bottom of the backpack. This system works pretty good. Only the densely overgrown trails Bihor massif had some concerns about the integrity of my karrimaty krzaczorach scrubbing after so I resigned from the patent and troczyłem it on top of the backpack with a tape to wind rolled the chimney.

Kitchen burner consisted of a MSR Pocket Rocket and bespoke to it's pot Jetboil Companion Cup named. Casserole has been previously machined. Thanks to her I got rid of the aluminum ring around the sink located at the bottom and I could put the bottom of the pot directly on the burner. Gas consumption in moderate wind conditions and low temperatures of about 5 to 15 degrees C at 5.5 grams per 0.5 liters of water, which is a very good result. Cooking time was incomparably lower than the rings competition, although he never sets up the maximum level rozkręconego burner to conserve fuel.

Original cover replaced the lighter of thin aluminum, and the original neoprene insulator from the Companion Cup'a swapped the film reflectix (enlisted her from the heat shield, which the driver used to leave the car at a pit on a sunny day). The only unchanged part of the original CC was a plastic cup which is a cover of the heatsink. In the future I'm going to use it as a lid. The whole after such treatment, together with small weights BIC lighter 271 grams (compared to the original Jetboil weighs 425g). I used a gas company in an amount of 125ml GoSystem. Despite its size, fits perfectly inside the Companion Cup. The rest of the set of kitchen came Spork (Lite My Fire) and the insulator on the bags of food (including a film reflectix). Thanks to the flooded portion of the morning with hot water or freeze-dried flakes was always hot, not hot, underneath the occasion of my hands while eating. Popakowane portions of food I had in the liter-capacity bags string Ziplock.

They were sufficiently low to dig them into eating starczał short LMF Spork. As the containers into the water I used two-liter PET bottles. One of them had a normal plug, a second cap with a spout for drinking.

took on water from mountain streams helped the filter in the cap to get rid of the larger impurities, and the water of uncertain quality uzdatniałem Katydyn MicroPure Forte tablets.


Eatables consisted of full-fat muesli with milk for breakfast and lyophilisates (one serving of 110 grams per day) for dinner. During the day, eat the chocolate bars and its own production and KitKat chocolate bars Snickers Caramel. Daily amount of food she weighed 590 grams and was 2720 kcal.

with other useful gadgets took drugs together sticks Thermolite, a watch with a compass, Leatherman Micra multitool, flashlight Petzl E + Lite, set to clean your teeth Jordan, a small bottle of liquid soap, towel Dr. . Bacty, toilet paper and cream. I did not take it as needed in the mountains of cream with UV filters, which resulted in burned skin on his nose. I did not use even once the cord, Ducktape tape, sewing kit, dressing materials and medicines. I was lucky.

pictures I carried out with Canon Ixus 860IS with a wide angle lens.

In conclusion, if I knew what the weather will be prevailed in the autumn Fogaraszach would take about 600 grams less. But I did not know so I had a terrible burden on him tired of this;)

Benefits Of Neuturing A Boston Terrier

Fogarasze and Padise

recently I had not even time to write. Mainly by the rush of work and study tours. A bit of a neglected my blog. Now is the time to work out "Loss." At the beginning of photos from the Romanian Carpathians. In early October I visited Fogarasze and mountains in the Massif Bihor Padise. Here are pictures . Of course, I went into the mountains with a backpack weighing ultralight. Summary of hardware that I picked up and used it will put soon.

Levaquin Swollen Tongue

Wszystkomający?


Today there will be no stories about szmatkach, boots, tents, or just a specific hardware defined by Anglo-Saxon word "hardware". The story will stick electronics used outdoors. I was wondering whether or not to move this issue - after all, I am not an expert on smartphones, cameras, gpsów and multimedia devices. However, I know what my preferences as a customer. Customer specific enough;)

One way of losing weight is a choice of outdoor equipment list of universal, could meet several different functions, thus replacing several other items on one. An example can be applied poncho, trekking sticks, detergents, herring from the tent or bag foil. For some of its multiplicity of uses is limited only by imagination (or rather lack thereof;)). In the case of a multiplicity of uses of electronic equipment is, unfortunately, usually determined in advance by their designers. However, taking into account the development of technologies currently used in mobile devices even have to think about reducing the amount of used electronic equipment, and hence its weight. Wszystkomające smartphones produced today, this type of equipment cameraphone'yi have everything that until recently were closed in several other housing units. We have phones equipped with in excellent GPS receivers, cameras, camcorders, high-resolution support for all Internet protocols, media players and software to edit any documents. The AMOLED screen, and other wodotryskach not remember. They are obviously quite expensive equipment. Had to calculate the cost per gram saved worn yet converted to electronic equipment is a universal machine, you may find that so far we have made investments in downy sleeping bags and tents are expensive, ridiculously cheap. But if we take into account that this smartphone will use in life everyday can take it any longer make sense.

What one would like to have on board our miracles of modern technology?
would do in the outdoors:
- to preserve the essential function - the ability of telephone calls (of course I think about the talks within the limits of coverage)
- support for SMS and MMS,
- camera doing good quality pictures - fast, with an intuitive interface, good optics adapted to the optical resolution (not necessarily the highest available), well reflects the colors and light, at least in terms of light daily (except for Nokia N82 Xenon lamp equipped with a camera does not do any good pictures in the absence of light)
- camera - let's say I use it very rarely, but sometimes happens, however, so it can be useful - but it is not a condition ,
- a good quality GPS receiver with the ability to use software to navigate not only the roads, but in the open air,
- display - readable in bright sunlight,
- capacious battery allows for at least a few days' time machine,
- robust design (ideal case would be waterproof-shockproof kurzo)
- operating system running smoothly and without interruption,
- notebook - sometimes tempted to write some thoughts about that are easy on the trail, and never has time in his pocket notebook,
- voice recorder - the reason as above only faster,
- mp3 player,
- FM radio,
- memory for storage of all the captured images and other media,
- possibly electronic compass, flashlight.

be useful for everyday uses additionally:
- WiFi, Bluetooth, HSDPA, etc.,
- a good calendar,
- Service e-mail box, web browser, RSS reader, support for programs to edit the blog, the ability to install programs presenting the weather forecast, etc.,
- edit or at least the ability to view Word, Excel, Acrobat Reader.

contrast, is completely irrelevant to me whether the device will be able to watch movies, play games, etc. Old age is not fun: P I have already grown old, and I think it's a pure loss of power in such a device.

Question - Is there a device that combines these features? Shorten my demonstration to a minimum - you see them. Does not exist. Despite assurances by manufacturers and operators that sell us the equipment or telephone wszystkomający outdoorowy can confidently say that what we offer is only pretending to devices of the name. Should enjoy the fact of such a category as a telephone outdoorowy (not necessarily so, but I called the so called), and that manufacturers are heading in the right direction. Because as I enjoy that too little money we could buy a phone resistant to harsh conditions, but deprived of almost all possible functions (Samsung B2100). Away from civilization, telephone and internet and it does not work, so this phone becomes unusable. His older brother, the Samsung B2700 has been better equipped, but so what if you suffer from a permanent lack of energy. With the promised long-lived batteries remained only a myth. In a moment, Nokia will introduce its resistant to nearly all 3720 Classic. And again the same story - low battery, poor camera, then the lack of GPS and smartphone none of it. In my opinion, the dreams of your phone resistant to weather and decent equipment should be postponed. You have to buy a good bag of string and some less resistant to the miracle of technology inside and behind.

As for operating systems: from my experience with Windows Mobile shows that the apparatus of the feature does not work smoothly and they are far from reliable. If you want to have the system running smoothly is perhaps the only Symbian. Symbianowe smartpnone'yz good with the camera are on the horizon 4: old Nokia N82, the new Nokia N86, Samsung i8910 INNOV8 and Samsung Omnia HD. I do not count Nokia N97. Somehow, this design does not convince me. Suffers from a disease of childhood and how his brothers N series - such as N95 rather them grow up. Nokia N82 makes the best pictures from all telephones, but is already a bit outdated. Had to focus on the most recent three of the four is for appointed they go head to head. Image quality, system, software, service all at the same level. But these unfortunate batteries! Manufacturers claim that these phones have a standby time of 300 to 600 hours. I do not know how they calculate whether pomierzyli but zakrawa This mockery. A horse with a row of one who even excluding all the options it comes to such great results as reported. And at the end of the phone with many useful features is not purchased in order to lay uselessly in his pocket. What do I combine the media, which stops working in the mountains after day or two? You would have to carry a few spare batteries. If the battery weighs 10-20gramów (depending on capacity), and two weeks would have to take them to the four it might be better though, with several dedicated devices, eg phone and camera. Solar Chargers do not take into account - they are expensive, fulfill their function only during sunny days and to its links must be addressed thoroughly in the sun.

currently use the Samsung Omnia i900. In everyday life, with a capacity of 1000mAh battery included by the manufacturer gave the council the day. Recently not withstand even a day. So I bought a 1800mAh battery that the company Batimex could use the phone. When I disable all the bells and whistles of the network is able to withstand 3-4 days. Of course, you'll have to compromise and either talk or make your photos or listen to the radio or otherwise use GPS to reduce working time and the phone will masakrycznie a moment useless. A solution would be wearing some batteries, but the quality of all the features provided by my smartphone substantiates the importance of extra batteries? Quality photos from the combine is inadequate (despite praise on various web sites) compared to the simplest cyfrówki available on the market. Opportunities GPS module located in the phone are on the ground, saying mildly reduced - practically in every respect. The GPS module quickly drains the battery, the phone often hangs, no electronic compass leads to absurd situations, and sometimes gets pierdolca chipset, and only restart leads to the elimination of errors in the reading of our situation. After some experiments I came to the conclusion that this device can be used outdoors at most to find the emergency position. Amazingly full well its function as a car navigation. But as the comparison between the camera almost all dedicated to tourism in GPS receiver will be better. Only the music is decent - just MP3 players are light, so weight saving is almost imperceptible. And that's enough about wszystkomających phones.

Also to have already purchased our waterproof bag before it is better to throw more light than a dedicated hardware phone wszystkomający dead. How do we cease to operate one of them will had at least a second. When further away if I choose depends on good photographs. I make enough of them. So I took with him a dedicated camera. Next to him in a waterproof bag will find its place as a decent smartphone without unnecessary fancy wasting battery - which can, if necessary, to help locate an item, write down the people he met on the trail and call, when will this need. Only a short trip can take your universal.

H2O - A few words about filters

little I played with my two filters, gravity and I wanted to share my insights about their advantages and disadvantages.

Filter Pure Webtex Survive - the actual throughput (if you use it as a gravity filter) is a liter of 5:15 min. Free frighteningly. But it can be accelerated by simply pressing on the skin of water. In the field, after the first priming priming is not required again. Starts, even if it is dry. What enrages me is leaking slightly after a few uses of rubber gasket between the filter housing and an adapter to connect the hose. As for me, it's a little too quickly poured the equipment referred to as "military." The interior of the filter is good to dry before storage, or even pour out the water that it does not burden it. Webtexa spin filter can be easily and water but to pour it dry well need to wait 2 days: /

Filter Sawyer SP140 - in my opinion the best capital investment if you already spend money on a filter. Bandwidth is 1:40 liter per minute (with the possibility of acceleration by increasing the pressure in the skin). After several liters did not slow down. Did not require priming or before the first use, or later. The filter is sealed, unlike Webtexa. You can spin it and shake out the water. After 5 minutes, we dry filter.

Obviously filters are only means to obtain clean water. To test them chose a most foul and green water from the lake that I could find. Przefiltrowałem it first mechanically by a cloth. Then he joined the action filters. Both turned a greenish liquid in a perfectly transparent liquid. I failed to discern a greenish color. The only differences I could feel the taste of water. Webtex water gave a slight chemical taste: sweet pieprznym. The filter can actually applied some iodine compound. The water will not taste at all typical of ponds, from which it pulled out. Sawyer water filter gave a pleasant taste but after a careful examination could feel a gentle dose of jeziorowego zapaszku. Felt it was difficult for 2 people for 3 it is not sensed at the first attempt. In total, if not my suggestion that probably have gone unnoticed. Organoleptic showed that both filters produce water according to the original expectations and description of manufacturers of filters (except the chemical taste of water Webtexa). Unfortunately, tests of chemical and biological purity of the water, I am not able to perform.

Yesterday Marcel came to an abandoned hut Hald. He wrote that he was Chałupka wind trying to switch. Today is likely to come to the next, better called Halaskogur. It plans to spend two whole days and relax and spend time bringing to its original state. Over the last days of Marcel met two people walking on the trail as well as several other (In cars, cottages, and guards). What surprised me very much everywhere has a range of phone. Over the last four days passed 200 km which is quite a nice result. Keep on going.

When Will The Yukon Body Style Ca

Iceland Iceland

away for a few days in a place where there was no such thing as HSDPA, GPRS or even EDGE. There was therefore no question about it to complement your blog. Despite the lack of access to the internet my cell phone from time to time depriving SMS from Marcel. The time gaps in the relationship with his expedition:
August 23 - are staying in an abandoned hut Laugavellir. The day before, he did more than 55 km. The route of 23.08 she ran to the south of the lake Askja. Weather is not dopisywała.
August 24 - Marcel is a Askji. For the third traverse. Car drove a few kilometers from the lifeguard. The reason was the approaching storm. Common sense and the general guardian prevailed.
August 25 - Day of rest and planning. A lot of new information from the guards. Marcel says that he must change your route based on what they say and weather forecasts.

Today I did not get any info. I keep my fingers crossed that the weather does not upset his plans and did not have to detour.

Update Part 2 by Marcel

today I got another text message from Marcel. Today, walk towards the dam Karahnjukur. The weather is sunny and windy as Iceland. At night and early morning was frost. Dodger - no need to test your Cumulus X-Solid - slept in a hut Geldingafellskali (whatever that means). We see that near human settlements is of Marcel. But I think that the next message I'll wait a little longer. I have to write off something to him and lift the spirits. Though probably not at this stage is wrong. Praise God that Iceland did not go after bears - at least one problem solved.

Best Prime Rib Recipe

Junk in boots

This topic was discussed some time ago by Vick - fellow "musician." Garbage coming into the shoe uppers are low to say the least pain. Small grains and seeds, wool socks can lead to ruin. By the particles accumulate in the shoes destroyed someday stuffing rather expensive pair of shoes in one day only. Shoes were to be thrown away. I will spare the state of my feet after a stroll. There have been many protective structures inside of the shoe against the ingress of trash inside. Several companies manufacture great acting gaitersy: Montbell, Inov-8, the Outdoor Research , Raidlight . Unfortunately, most products are available abroad, and such as were wanted in the U.S. only. I did not want to spend money on shipping so I was left with roll up their sleeves and make your own. As that after searching the cabinets have not found among the clothing possessed any volunteers for the treatment of experimentally stuptuta decided to buy Gaiters Trail Salewa Speed \u200b\u200b for possible conversion to lean. They had to weigh 94 grams. After odchudzeniu counted on the weight of about 60 grams. Of course, after receiving the package wkurw took me a light, and was on the Salewa my black list. Gaiters weigh 134 grams! But what for Salwey - after all, is only 50% error to the detriment of customers, who depend on weight. I wonder what you thought of his time producers - that no one has the weight at home? Maybe you guys so the Salewy went to some Ladybugs and bought a dozen gold weight of the kitchen. That it gave more than their R & D department: P Even though the package was written like a bull - 94g. Fortunately, the entire product cost 69 gold so it was not a tragedy. Weight loss started from a higher weight limit.
Although it is not surrendered up. Or will they light or shorten their life. The movement went the scissors. I must admit that the Chinese have recently meticulous seamstress. Precise wyprucie locks and reflective tape without damaging the outer fabric stuptuta took me about 3 hours to live. It took another 15 minutes upiłowanie plastic clips holding hypalonowe strips under the thumb. Then he sat down to sew. What was left of the product Salewy zszyłem wearing only known stitches, which I gave myself a lifelong guarantee. Gaiters were previously too broad at the upper edge. I modified it slightly - so that the bare leg did not feel it was oppressive and that stuptut well kept his trousers.
manufacturer gave the body in terms of weight, but the materials used to manufacture stuptutów are quite good: outer fabric is a blend of Lycra and waterproof stretch membrane, upper and lower edge are provided with a rubberised elastic strap holding up very good shoe. On the front we have a hook for attaching laces.
Following the introduction of these advanced design changes;) all decent weighs 77 grams and still fulfills its role. Even no bar under the thumb does not affect the rubber sticking to the shoe. The only drawback is that the need to put the gaiters on his feet before they assume their shoes. You can not remove them as fast as the original. For me there is no problem - I assume it in the morning, take off in the evening.
Effect:
summarize earned quite a comfortable and breathable stuptutów 3 season. They are actually breathing. They came a few hours in a very hot day. Despite this, I forgot about their existence. I remembered when I wanted them to take your shoes off when you return home. Wide rubber shoes stick like glue. Not only achieved the desired weight but more can not get off the weight for this product. You can have a large eraser to replace the upper lighter but it is beyond my ability - it would be necessary to use elastic thread and the stitches would not have learned in the classroom ZPT: P

My friend Marcel (aka Carnage) is trying to make a traverse of Iceland from the shoe on slightly - from east to west. I thought about participating in this adventure, but my duties in this roku nie pozwoliły. Marcel wyleciał wczoraj wieczorem. Dzisiaj znajduje się już Egilsstadir dokąd trafił jadąc na stopa 700 km. Napisał: "Szukam gazu i jadę na południe do Muli. Widoki oszałamiają: zorza polarna, lis polarny, góry lodowe, lodowce." Kiedy tylko będzie miał zasięg będzie mi relacjonował swoją wyprawę, a ja postaram się wrzucić info na bloga.

What Do You Wear With Black Spandex Pants

H2O - Gravity Filters - First impressions

Way I went to buy the possession of two pre-selected filters: the filter's SP140 Sawyer and Survive-Pure filter your Webtex.

Through the purchase, I managed to clarify some important facts (read: expensive Downloaded science).
Webtex is granted for use within their design of the filter element containing a 0.2 micron membrane, iodine compounds and activated carbon. This last item is visible after ramping up the filter (it is also a way to remove impurities from the filter housing). What amazes me the use of compounds of iodine. I do not know what they can do if their impact is limited in time (at the end of the filter the water goes quite rapidly). The taste of water from this filter is like a slightly sweet and spicy at the same time. This is the effect of activated carbon. In fact, this filter improves taste and clarity of water. Laboratory tests did not.
Sawyer filter contains a 0.1 micron membrane, and basically everything. Does not improve the taste or appearance of water (improves clarity, color remains).
the data that I was able to gather previously inferred that the two filters weigh about 60 grams. In fact, weighs 46 grams Sawyer makes me very happy.
Less weight has Webtex filter - 118 grams (5 grams Screw adapters for tubing). Filters change the weight when wet.
Webtexa If the difference is 12 grams, in the case of Sawyer 2-5 grams. Of course described here relate to the weight Only the filter element (without hoses and adapters).

Another difference in favor of Sawyer's filter is that it does not require priming (ie, pass through the water before first use). Webtexu filter requires a restart. This is not particularly difficult but it's always extra fun. During priming of the filter fly in visible particles of activated carbon.

Another difference (again, in favor of Sawyer): webtexowy filter can be cleaned by backflushing (ie, pure water passing in the opposite direction). Sawyer, you can just wash the ground (even enough water accumulated in the mouth - No filter connected to the tap). Thanks to Sawyer's product may actually be long-lived. Survive-Pure as it becomes clogged is not much you can do. Although I could be wrong. Maybe the manufacturer did not describe such a procedure, and it is possible. At the moment I prefer not to try.

Filter Webtexa get included with the adapter on the faucet adapter and two sets of screw-in filter for it to fit different diameters of tubing used in bukłakach. We get a manual.
Filter Sawyer came in a set of polycarbonate bottle with a filter forming a source of clean water. Simply fill the bottle with dirty water and drink close by the protruding tube.
course set is heavily armored and weighs more than a quarter of a pound. For me this is sufficient reason to abandon the thought of his wearing of the trip: we still have the LP set free a few tubes of different materials and two unnecessary brackets (shown in photo).

The differences in productivity and other characteristics of the filters I write for some time.

In order processed to wody metodą grawitacyjną należy zaopatrzyć się w wężyk o odpowiedniej średnicy oraz korek do butelki z adapterem do wężyka.
Będąc przezornym kiedy przerabiałem stare Kudu na miskę zostawiłem sobie wszystkie inne elementy. Jeśli ich nie masz polecam zestaw Platypus Hoser 2 lub 3 litry. Zawiera on wszystkie te elementy oraz bukłak mogący służyć jako rezerwuar brudnej wody. Ja jako tego rezerwuaru użyję zwykłego Platypusa 2L. Cały taki zestaw (rurka + korek z adaptorem) ważą ok. 50 gramów. Butelka na brudną wodę będzie ważyć 30 gramów. Clean water bottles do not count anyway because I would have to wear them. In this way, I have two sets of gravity filters: the filter weighing 203 grams Webtexa filter Sawyer and weighing 126 grams. The importance of this first not admire, but the second is already a certain advantage over the IAS-type structures and whether the Platypus. If you decide not to use containers of clean water we can drink directly from the bottle of dirty water through a line filter. Then we have an additional weight saving. The only thing that would then be added to the set is a mouthpiece of the gourd (or about 10 grams).

my opinion, both filters are worth attention. If I had to choose a filter for use close to civilization, I would choose the filter will Webtexa. As the filter used in the natural environment, free of cultivated fields, pastures, industrial plants and urban without hesitation I would choose a filter Sawyer. Both of which require the use of chemical agent to purify water from viruses. Webtexa filter in combination with a tablet Katydyna has the advantage that the water tastes as if it was not the film they used.

Backpack Golite Jam 2009

Backpack Jam in 2009 was supposed to be a continuation of the historical model introduced by Golite Jam many years ago. It is slightly larger than the progenitor because of size L is 51 liters (instead of the earlier 45L). This was partly due to a larger pocket on the front plus initially 3 to 6 liters.
was enlarged a little space of the main chamber and the size of the side pockets (they utilize the kind of flexible translucent fabric (lycra) instead of the previous grid).
upper edges of the side pockets are angled so that we can successfully use them did not removing the backpack.
Besides capacity backpack, I am cultivating a tradition: as the archetype of functional additives is more than you can in this backpack wish. As part of the backpack adjacent to the back we have a breathable mesh padding (previously we had at this point nylon with Dyneema).
Inside we installed the foam panel (the panel is removable). Corrected

in relation to the original backpack straps are shaped (or as for women and for men) and covered with breathable mesh. Of course, we are comfortable, adjustable strap at the height of the breast, and clasp fastening it was equipped with an integrated whistle.
Backpack also features a lap shoulder strap buckle fastened with a new shape. In general, this backpack buckles Golite'a a new quality. Sling was partially padded mesh for comfort.
Manufacturer heard my prayers;) and shoulder strap he made two fairly capacious zippered pockets.
pockets do not guarantee a watertight because they are from the same material as the side pockets (a type of dense grid lycrowatej). Allow conceal items such as handheld camera, phone or candy bar.
inside pockets have compartments for smaller items such as keys, flashlight, etc. Even for the same allowance of pocket Jam 2009 is a big plus for me.
Inside the main chamber we have a flexible pocket for a bottle of (up to about 3 liters). Inside, we even hang hook allows a skin smaller size of the inside pocket.
output tube from the skin of both sides are back but their new shape at 100% will have just the bag of water during rainfall.
Main compartment is locked with a rolled crimped rope funnel with stopper and tape compressible with buckle. This solution we already know from the previous cavity, and nothing in this regard has not changed. Tape allows przytroczenie mats or snowshoeing at the top of the backpack.
Speaking troczenia - finally lived to side compression straps to such lengths to actually be there was something in your backpack przytroczyć. Present their length ensures trouble-free full-length foam pad troczenie or two-person tent. Side compression strap can be extended to such a degree that combined with the buckles on the opposite side of the backpack by compressing in this way the whole backpack.
front pocket is closed with a zipper flap as it was in the original. You can see the manufacturer stopped believing castles mounted in a waterproof, Jamie 2, 2008.
Besides compression straps on the side of the backpack is used, a new system called ComPACKtor. At the bottom of the backpack have two plastic buckles on the opposite side and two loops capable of significantly reducing the volume of the backpack when we do not need it. Then with a big sack gets us to a neat backpack designed for one-day escapade. It might seem like a gimmick but no matter this way, compression shifts the contents of the backpack, and thus also their weight closer to the body.

Outside the backpack was located two loops for attaching ice axes or trekking poles.
with other important things I should add that changed the fabric of the backpack is made. Today it is a fabric previously used in a backpack Golite Pinnacle called Dyneema-X (X is associated with the way it cross visible dyneema). Is the traditional ripstop nylon with Dyneema, and that there are some differences in functionality can not say. Spawaia impression material is thicker than that which was used in my Jamie (first generation) but maybe it's just an impression.
weight in the backpack size L is 762 grams. Weight declared by the manufacturer is less than about 9 grams so it's a pretty nice result. Foam stiffening back weighs 39 grams so after it is removed we get a backpack weighing 723 grams. I am the first generation after odchudzeniu weighs 200 grams less but they all have their weigh stuff;)

Overall backpack makes a very good impression. There is certainly a very thoughtful design creates a large flexibility in packaging and arranging equipment. Also leaves freedom in the weight loss of weight. As time goes by will complement the information on the utility of this backpack.
