Wondery Parks of the USA Bucket List Water Bottle

Have you ever found yourself wondering how many National Parks you’ve visited? With 424 national park sites, and 63 national parks, it can be challenging to track them all unless you have the Wondery Parks of the USA Water Bottle. The Wondery Parks of the USA Water Bottle features small laser engraved images of all 63 national parks. And it comes with a series of stickers that you match to the engravings on the water bottle once you've made it to the corresponding park. It basically serves as… Full review

Gregory 3D Hydro 3L Reservoir

Comparing it to a Outback 2l Hydration bag at 1/3 of the cost this thing is amazing! Compared to other similarly priced products I don't know... This is my first good one. I bought this a year ago for about 59.99 CAD at Sportscheck and you can get the newer design, I'm guessing it is a newer dersign, for about 54.99 CAD. Overall it has been my companion for hikes and mountain biking with my North Face Hydra 26. Small enough where it doesn't get in the way but just big enough for this bladder. I… Full review

Nalgene 32 oz Narrow Mouth Tritan

This is a simple, durable, relatively lightweight bottle. Among rigid plastic bottles, this is one of the best. The narrow mouth makes it easier to drink from but harder to fill. If you want a rigid, transparent bottle, this is the one to get. It is strong, light, and fits into most bottle pockets. I would recommend this to almost anyone. This bottle has been "discontinued", but they really just added 50% recycled plastic and called it a new bottle (Nalgene Sustain). Ease of Use: Intuitive to use. Full review

Sea to Summit Watercell X

A versatile, practical, and durable water storage and carrying system for camping and backpacking. Available in 4-, 6-, 10-, and 20-liter versions. Can be used for washing and even showering. Could be lighter and more compact when not in use, but this would probably require a thinner, less resistant fabric and compromise durability. The first time I saw the Watercell X I was camping and this family in a tent right next to my hammock had two, the 10L and 20L versions.   I thought both were too big… Full review

Cnoc Outdoors Vecto

A great, durable and practical water bladder for outdoor activities. It’s available in various capacities and has clever features: dual opening with large collecting easy, and the ubiquitous 28mm thread and optional 42mm beefed-up version.   The 2L CNOC Vecto: compact and lightweight but robust and practical Outdoorspeople takes hydration seriously. Every part of the water system—collecting, treating, purifying, storing, drinking—must be easy, reliable and durable to withstand some level… Full review

Osprey Hydraulics 3L Reservoir

A decent reservoir, with a couple glaring flaws. I picked this up two years ago as a replacement for another reservoir that had, through my own poor habits, gone moldy. This bag has anti-microbial materials in its construction, so I have nothing to worry about there. In fact, after the first couple uses there hasn't even been any plastic taste to speak of, even if I occasionally forget to empty the bladder for a week or so. It's a decent bit of kit, and the 3L size is excellent for longer dayhikes… Full review

Hennessy Hammock HH2O AutoMagic Water Collector & Rainfly Tensioner System

Despite the ultra-long name and the gimmicky factor, this clever water collector and automatic tarp tensioner does work quite well for its dual purposes: collect rainwater and keep tarps (especially SilNylon) taut and stable during rain and storms. It’s inexpensive, durable, and versatile with a 28mm thread for reservoirs. Oftentimes, the simplest things are the most versatile and effective to have around. Simplicity is a good thing for outdoor activities, actually. Hennessy Hammock HH2O AutoMagic… Full review

Maxam Trailblazer 1-Quart Aluminum Canteen Kit

I was asked from viewers to do more reviews here. Not to worry, "I Got Your Six". So time to "Bite the Bullet" and get to the review "Geronimo" ! Yes, we are saying Army phrases for a reason, as I would like to introduce you to the Maxam Trailblazer 1 Quart Aluminum Canteen Kit. For many of you out there, this is your water container, drinking cup, container to boil water in, and a cup to cook food in. An all-in-one mess kit. This kind of water storage and cooking setup may not be for everyone,… Full review

Klean Kanteen 27oz Classic

A durable steel bottle, with some ecological merits, a choice of lids and available in a selection of attractive colours. I bought this bottle eight years ago. It generally lives in my car, with the sport cap attached. I also have a loop-top leakproof cap, but never take the bottle backpacking, so never use that cap. I like the choice of colours. The paint isn't very durable—and would be a real mess if heated on the stove (buy the unpainted version, if you plan to take this product on a serious… Full review
