If we are going on a small trip, we can just take one pack and know that we will most likely have plenty of water to share, but if we are going on a grueling all-day adventure, both packs still nearly guarantee we will not go thirsty. They don’t have a ton of space, but enough for some food, first aid, sunscreen, pest repellant, and a few other essentials. They also come in a variety of colors. The men’s version is named Raptor, and the women’s is the Raven.” toplistfontcolor=”#ffffff” toplistbgcolor=”#a2a2a2″ toplistfontsize=”30px” backgroundcolor=”#ffffff” fontcolor=”#7D7D7D”]

For instance, what do you do if you are staying in a small shack in Belize, and your tap water is questionable, but you are trying to prepare for an all-day hike? I’ll tell you what you do – you fill your Ospreys and then use your trusty Steripen! This was not hypothetical… we lived this. And, no, we never got even a little bit sick. This newest version even charges from a USB port.” toplistfontcolor=”#ffffff” toplistbgcolor=”#a2a2a2″ toplistfontsize=”30px” backgroundcolor=”#ffffff” fontcolor=”#7D7D7D”]

Personally, I appreciate having my hands free while still having a flashlight! While it is necessary gear for the intrepid spelunker traversing a new cave, it is also pretty darn handy in any dark situation. We keep one in a backpack and one in the rental car console on all trips. There are a ton of different kinds, but I like the triple light type with a CREE in the middle for super-bright spotlight, and the two sides for a wider ambiance light, as well as having a 90 degree vertical swivel and rechargeable batteries.” toplistfontcolor=”#ffffff” toplistbgcolor=”#a2a2a2″ toplistfontsize=”30px” backgroundcolor=”#ffffff” fontcolor=”#7D7D7D”]
