@@starbase218 Great tip Peter-this is especially true for long-term, multi-country travel!

Please consider making a video like this on top 10 footwear for long-term one-bag travel! Thank you!

My absolute favorite water bottle is the Owala FreeSip bottle. It’s an insulated stainless steel bottle that has a cap similar to the Avana Ashbury. You can either sip thru its built in straw or swig water with its wide mouth opening in the same cap. Unlike the Avana Ashbury, its cap has the added benefit of a spring loaded flip top and a loop that doubles as the cap lock to prevent unintentional opening of the bottle.

Interesting new setup! I'm in both camps. Team cold for city/urban travel and team room temp for outdoors stuff because you don't have to deal with condensation.

I really like Klean Kanteen as a brand and their style of bottles are really nice. That pop up straw thing looks cool. I might have to get one of those. I have their older 20 oz insulated one which has been really nice on hot summer days. I gotta have ice cold water always even in winter. Now, if they'd only make something that would make it sound proof, the ice moving around isn't exactly stealth when walking around 😆

I have a Grayl and a Zojirushi (a different style) and I love them. I like to keep a scarf tied to the grayl for when I’m carrying it around and get cold. I keep the 10oz Zojirushi around for small bags and general use for keeping water ice cold or boiling hot for hours. =)

Nice videos Tom. I have a variety of leakproof thermoses (I make sure they keep 12/24/48 hrs hot/cold content) from bottle share to mug or small thermos for a flat white on the go. I'm impressed with the fact that we humans finally go eco-friendly and recycling ♻️ reusable redesigning items.

Great vid, only thing I wish had been covered was washing - are they dishwasher safe, any issues with cleaning in general (the memo bottle is great in concept but would it be easy to clean?)

I was tempted by a collapsible bottle but I won't like washing them. I am wondering how people maintain a clean bottle on longer trips. I know that I wash mine weekly at home.

I love the vapur bottles! So easy to carry! I’ve traveled all over the world with them. In hot climates if I have access to a freezer I fill it halfway at night and freeze. In the morning I fill it up and it stays cold- or at least drinkable-until emptied. I also have sleeves for them which may not keep them that cold but at least keeps them from sweating all over my pack.

Do you have to drink out of it like a psychopath like the model in this video did? Lol

The water bottle I use every day is the 40oz Ranger from Manna. It's insulated and keeps my water nice and chilly all day. The powdercoat (matte finish) versions also survive the dishwasher quite well. I've got one in both turquoise and light purple. The turquoise one I've had for several years and it's quite beat up, but it still works just as well as it did when new. They're really too big for travel though. So I use an insulated 27 oz bottle (also from Manna, forgot which line) that's relatively slim for that. Both styles are easy to keep clean.

I've got the A7 I have been rocking it for the last couple of days and I love it! One of my faves I didn't find the bottle sleeve hard to get off. I have been rocking the Hydraflask for over 2 years they are like $40 - $89 AUD solution out here in Australia but I had to cop the orange and the sleeve came with mine. I am surprised that the Que Bottle didn't make the cut!

I love my CamelBak Chute Mag bottle. Keeps my water cold for a very long time and the cap opens at an angle so it doesn't hit your nose and has a magnet to keep it secure while drinking.

Great to hear Ben! Thanks for dropping your mini review here for the community - it's helpful! 🙂 - Tom

I used to use the Klean Kanteen with a sports cap so I can drink on the go and a moving vehicle. But now I'm using Stanley insulated bottle adventure edition, with the action trigger which give the same purpose as the sports cap. But in edition, it has a plastic cover which gives me a piece of mind. The Zijuroshi looks like a good alternative for my needs but the size of Stanley allows me to keep my bottle sideways in my Dayfarer messenger bag. (One of the main reason I switched from Klean Kanteen).

I have a Klean Kanteen TKWIDE in a 500ml and 1L (32OZ) size and absolutely love them over the other bottles I've had because of the ability to clean and the lids are interchangable. I drink ALOT of Tea and any of the smaller openings are just so bad for cleaning.

Favorite water bottle is the Owala FreeSip. Straw and chug combo lid, insulated, 32 oz, best water bottle I've found BY FAR!

Great video! Another consideration for me is how narrow the neck is. I don't always have access to a dishwasher, and narrow bottles also need a special brush or something to get inside for cleaning. Additionally, they can be hard to get ice cubes inside, or things to flavor your drink like a tea bag or slice of lemon. My favorite is the S'well traveler - Insulated steel with a wide opening. I also find that painted colors get chipped and start to look banged up way sooner, so I opt for the plain brushed stainless steal colorway. :)

Same here! It's been years since I've been looking for an easy to clean bottle, which implies having at least a 3.5in mouth. A large travel cup would be OK as well. I took a look at Swell Traveler but it doesn't seem easy to clean.

Vapur is great for hiking on a VERY hot day, cus you could actually just freeze it, works like an ice pack and it slowly melts and you got cold water.

I was visiting some family in texas and the airbnb we were staying at had surprisingly little glassware and plates. when we went to a walmart to buy some groceries I saw the ozark trail insulated tumblers were like $8, I thought I'd give it a whirl... IT WORKS GREAT! I have multiple yetis at home, but this ozark trail works really well. at 1/3 the price.

Always love seeing the Detroit/Belle Isle content!

Great video! Really useful. I have an original chilly’s bottle, 500ml. Would you recommend series 2 over the originals? My son is wanting a chilly’s but not sure whether to get him the newer design or the old one (which I still love and I’ve had mine over a year and still going strong). Would love to see you review their food pots and coffee cups. Thanks.

What about YETI? You recommended it as a best bottle previously

I'm a Takeya gal (wish it came in a 20 ounce). I like that you just unscrew the cap, pull it back and it stays in place. It has a foldover handle so it's easier to fit in tight spaces. Best of all it's leakproof - my #1 concern. Did you test for that? So many of my backpacks don't have outside water bottle pockets (annoying). Also not a fan of bottles which require holding the top in one hand. P.S. I'm team cold water, hot coffee (that stays hot longer than three hours) and leeeaaakkkkproof.

For those who are interested in the collapsible bottles, I also suggest the Hydrapak Flux 1L/1.5L and Hydrapak Stow 1L

Do they keep it nice and cold without a plasticy taste ?

I love my 32oz Hydroflask as a everyday water bottle. I prefer my water cold so it’s my favorite. Oh and I love a good straw lid 😁

I own the same klean kanteen bottle in this video and I loved it until recently. I forgot to take it out of my car for about a day and had left tea in it. The tea did its fermenting thing and unfortunately created a lot of pressure in the bottle that it ruined the straw cap. Now it leaks where it didn't before. I have yet to get a replacement cap, but I think I'll get a different style. This is not to say the bottle is bad, but just be aware that you need to be careful with it.

I just hit year 3 of traveling with a Hydroflask 40oz, that replaced a 32oz many years old Nalgene that I forgot to drain having to go back through security after clearing customs. I drink a lot of water so willing to sacrifice the compact size for more capacity.

I think you overlooked the camelbak chute insulated bottle. Small cap which folds over and secured magnetically for easy sipping, but big enough to take large gulps. But the whole head assembly comes off for super easy cleaning, fast emptying or filling. Plus the insulation works incredibly well for cold drinks. I’ve often put ice in there with drinks, and the next day there’s still ice in there if the lid’s been kept on. Highly recommended.

I would highly encourage anyone watching this to consider the relatively new Hydro flask Trail series! It's MUCH lighter than the main series, but in my personal testing and those I've seen around the web, it's insulating properties are as good or possibly even better than the standard models. I use the 24oz model, they made it longer and slimmer so it fits inside my sling and other bags much better than a shorter wider bottle would, and it fits inside my cup holder in my car. You kind of have to hold it to feel just what a difference the weight savings makes, but it really makes it easy to justify always having an insulated bottle around vs settling for a regular stainless or plastic bottle! It will naturally be slightly less durable, but I've used other lighter class insulated double wall bottles like the GCI microlite. THOSE bottles I feel like I could squeeze a dent in them in my hand, this is more robust than that. Cheers!

I like the new set up! But may I suggest putting up some sound foam on the wall behind the camera, and maybe even a rug on the floor? You sound pretty boomy

So just to add, the Grayl, not only filters parasites and bacteria but very importantly viruses, which is why you can use it for travelling to geos without clean water. (I just ordered the 24oz last week). And, while you are looking at Hydroflask, they have a new lighter weight version in 24 and 32 oz. They are epic, feel much lighter, with awesome finishes. With all our cupboard full of Hydroflasks we use the Takeya, sipping lid, much like the Camelback Shute. It fits well on all the current Hyroflasks, for those of us who don't like a straw, nor pouring water across our face with the wide mouths. 8-)

Would you consider doing a video on the best wet bag out there

I have a CamelBak Eddy straw bottle which I prefer to any of these it’s stainless steel double wall insulated and keeps my water perfectly cold has a great handle and fits perfectly in my backpack water bottle pocket and is very easy to use and keep clean too
