Bechdel water container best practices from Kanak outdoors to fill your vessel unroll it and make sure the cap is secured in place remove the slider and put aside hold the top open by holding both the edges or by pinching the red left while keeping the top open scoop water until full fold the top of the vecto over the red lift and fit the slider on again while making sure it engages the three tongue the slider locks into place with a soft click to confirm the slider is locked the window should be clear for filtering remove the cap and screw on the filter just make sure the vector is not too full you can squeeze filter or use a coupling to make this gravity system thanks for watching see you on the trail when you're trying to go as fast as light as possible obviously weight is a huge factor but days like that also demand that you stay fully hydrated so that you can consistently be performing at your best those two things really conflict because water adds a ton of weight we designed the trail shop micro filter to help you save weight essentially it gives you a full day's water supply at a mere five ounces and fits in your pocket when a trail run I like to carry two small water bottles when those are empty I can use the trail shot filter to drink directly and instantly from a stream along the trail then I can quickly fill up my bottles with clean water and get going again or if I'm wearing a hydration pack I can connect it straight to my hose and fill up my reservoir the trail shaft filter is so tiny it fits in a stash pocket alongside my bars and it's quick to deploy you just dropped the pre-filter in the water and start filtering it treats a liter of water in 60 seconds the trail shop filter uses hollow fiber technology that meets the highest standards for removing protozoa like Giardia and Cryptosporidium and bacteria like e.coli and Salmonella so you have reliable water all along your journey the filter cartridge has a 2000 litre lifespan depending on water conditions which for me is seasons of water at MSR our goal is to design products for simplicity and functionality giving you everything you need and nothing you don't another essential is the ability to signal for help the star flash signal mirror is over 90 percent as reflective of glass yet weighs less than half an ounce to use the star flash mirror reflect light from the Sun or another source such as the moon or a flashlight under your hand bring the star flash mirror to where the bottom rests on your cheek like this as you look through the aiming circle you should see a holographic image of the Sun in the form of a fireball take the star flash mirror and your head and turn it towards your target and put that fireball on your target as long as that fireball is on your target they should see a reflection from the star flash mirror the star flash mirror is virtually unbreakable eliminating the chance of its shattering and causing injury let alone becoming useless also the star flash mirror is outstanding for water environments because it floats star flash mirror can be used with pinpoint accuracy it can be seen in excess of 100 miles away especially on a clear day over water
