Review on Stay Hydrated On-The-Go With HydraPak Seeker Collapsible Water Storage - Safe, Portable And Ideal For Camping by Aavon Dark

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Added security and extra liters!

Just finished a two day trek on the Laurel Highland Trail in Western Pennsylvania. I had been looking for something to contain extra liters to filter through my Katadyn BeFree Gravity filter and then discovered this actually fit the filter! Found this one used-like new for $14 on Walmart and it arrived without having been used. The first and second night both water pumps at the shelters were not producing enough water so the wide mouth on the Hydrapak allowed me to scoop up water from the local streams. I brought it along and loved the fact that I could filter 3 liters (Katadyn) for my camelbak and have another 3 liters (Hydrapak) to filter for drinking at the shelter. Do I need to have both with me at the same time! No. However, friends were with me so I had water to share with them while they waited for their Iodine tablets to kick in. I used the hanging strap from my Katadyn, attached the filter and hose from the Katadyn and was able to securely hang the Hydrapak using one of the attachments on the pak without any issues. The pak easily rolled up when not in use. The screw cap also fit my Katadyn water bladder. Heavy duty. Love it!I love the fact that I can freeze this serving another purpose especially on a road trip. Finally, I created a past of baking soda and washed the inside before use. Did not notice any kind of tasted after filtering water from the Hydrapak. Highly recommend!
