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

Iceland by Marcel

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.

Marcel pojechał tam z planem rozpoczęcia pieszej wędrówki z miejscowości Hofn lub Land. Potem drogą F980 w stronę Mulaskali, przez Egilssel, Geldingafellsskali, circumvent the glacier on the north side of Bergvislarkofi, crossing a ford across the river Eyjabakar, Snaefellsskali, further towards the Jökulsá and Dal, the Karahnjukar dam, access road F910, a way to help overcome Aksja the several rivers that need to go through the bridge. Further to the west of the entrance to the volcano Trolladyngja, thence to the north of the glaciers and Hofsjoekull Tungafellsjoekull. Then Langsjokull Hveravellir and opinions from the north. Then, either north of the river Hvítá with waterfalls Hraunfossaralbo hooked to the south of the entrance to the volcano Ok. Further on, between the lakes and Eriksvatn Reydarvatn. From Marcel invented two routes, and did not know which chooses: will go towards Skessuhorn and end of the peninsula of Akranes, or directs the Snaefellsness and enter the Baule.
Marcel carries a backpack weighing about 17 kg with food for over a month. I keep my fingers crossed.

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.
