So, does it attach securely to the Nalgene bottle and can you leave it on the bottle or do you have to take it off and store it elsewhere to put the Nalgene cap back on? If I were designing this then I would make it so it could stay on the bottle. (they may have done that, thus the reason for my question)
I Also Have The Battery Holder And The Admin Pouch And They Are Great Add-ons. With Mine Completely Packed Out It Weighs In At 12 Pounds And That Includes Everything I Need To Spend 10 Days Or So In The Jungle.
Got the prefilter. Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but I think I'm going to like it. The real test will be jungle water and if it works then all I need is chemical purifiers or my MIOX to be good to go.
A lot of this water stuff for us is long-term research. We have several folks we consult for every once in a while that do some stuff down there so we're always looking for a better widget or better idea when it comes to travel in these places.
In fact, this whole jungle survival thing is becoming one big survival research business.
Just back from a project were working on in the mountains. A buddy of mine shot this photo of me with the Pygmy Falcon pack about to load up in another friend's plane and fly home. Spent a few days in the mountains and all I carried was this pack, packed as shown here. Plenty of space and gear to live for a long while in the woods.
