Water Bottle Backup: My LifeStraw on the Local Trails

Living here near Los Angeles, we’ve got some decent hiking spots within a short drive. Used to be, I’d load up a heavy hydration bladder even for a quick few-hour trek. One time on a 9 hour hike I got lost and ran out of water. Then I started thinking, “There’s gotta be a backup for next time i run out of water.” That’s where the LifeStraw Personal Water Filter came in. Now, I just carry a medium water bottle and the Lifestraw, knowing I can refill it from a stream or even a less-than-crystal-clear natural water source if I have to.

The real beauty of this LifeStraw on the trail is the weight and space savings. It can freeing up room in my pack for snacks and other essentials. When I come across a clean running water source and if i am out of bottled water, I just use the LifeStraw in, and drink straight from it like a straw. It’s that simple.

The peace of mind knowing it removes 99.99% of Waterborne Bacteria (Including E. Coli and Salmonella), and 99.99% of Waterborne Parasites (Including Giardia and Cryptosporidium) is huge. You see water in nature, but you never really know what’s lurking in it. The LifeStraw takes that worry off my mind. Plus, it even Removes Microplastics, which is something you don’t often think about but is definitely a bonus these days.

I haven’t had any issues with clogging or slow flow rates on my longer hikes. The LifeStraw water tastes clean, with no weird aftertaste.

For anyone who does day hikes around here and is tired of carrying a ton of water, the LifeStraw is a good option. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and gives you access to a whole lot more hydration options.

REVIEW: Heated Vest – Perfect for staying warm! USB Powerbank Powered!

With the weather getting colder, I got a Heated Vest ( https://amzn.to/3EJgvvj ) to stay warm when walking in the evening and when driving without heated car seats. There are other heated apparel and jackets ( https://amzn.to/3CX63zc ) . So i am going to review it.

The Heated Vest ( https://amzn.to/3EJgvvj ) has a 15,000 mah power bank. The buttons on the front of the vest can turn on the front and rear heat pads. The best part is the heat element on the collar and shoulders. I actually like the rear heat more than the front two heat pads that just heat the solar plexus.

The runtime for the high heat mode was about 4 -5 hours with the included battery. I didnt use the low or medium but would guess that its about 8-10 hours. How hot is it. Its quite warm at high power it gets warm quickly.

Overall, Heated Vest ( https://amzn.to/3EJgvvj ) pretty warm and useful. Its also light weight.

I have serveral Adidas Aero Ready ( https://amzn.to/3lsHwIC ) performance caps for running hiking and every day use. Since they are so breathable, lightweight, and have good sun blocking features , they can be washed quickly and can be good for all seasons.

For lightweight hiking, fishing or travel, the sun hat ( https://amzn.to/3sNxBl1 ) Good brim length. The brim of the hat is also wire so you can shape and bend it. I worry that the wire may break in the future, if it does I will update this review. The top vents and the material is light and very packable. There side buttons to clip the side up. See video. There is a chin strap and head strap adjustments.

Overall both hats are an excellent value and will be useful to carry in the trunk of the car, home, or office. for every day use.
