>>965232yes i use most water sources in nature. i use tablets they weigh like 1g per L to purify anything depending on time (30 min-2 hrs for hardcore stuff like legionellas). the only problem is they don't help with chemical pollutants. but for that i use a charcoal filter in my drinking tube that i replenish with aquarium charcoal (100x cheaper same stuff, ask a fish guy how sensitive fish are). besides no matter how much water i drink the chance is low i would get a impactful dose from a few L over a few days.
>pic related >>982134check the deuter ones for sure the have lots of great offers at the moment since they want to get rid of old stock because of the 2017 model that came this month. at least in my country (due to a error i actually got the deuter 2017 aircontact pro 65+15 for 199€ because they offered it at the same price as the last year version. as they made the mistake to slap the discount on all deuter packs on their website new & old)
>>982401yeah pocketless packs look nice but are kind of trashy fashion, there is plenty of stuff that makes great use of extra pockets like first aid sets, lunch pack, rain cloak, dirty laundry, camera, flashlight. all nice to have in a easy to find and reachable spot instead of the main compartment. far better to say "hey mate can u give me X it's in the side pocket" instead of rummaging through the whole pack.
but at least the previous "trekking backpack with detachable mini backpack" trend finally died.
