    If you have time, pick up a Squeeze model from Sawyer. That one you have is notorious for clogging up. Make sure to keep the filter from freezing. If you break a bag, most soda bottles with work with the Sawyer filters as a back up you can source locally.

    Another magnificent video Tristan, i thought you must have scored perfect weather, but the scenery is really stunning mate. Sorry to hear that your crook again, probably your tummy hasn't yet got all enzymes needed to battle all the local wogs, Belen may have a stronger constitution than you Tristan, she's a pretty tough little lady and seems to be able to handle the rough stuff pretty well, seeing her pushing her wheels up some pretty steep hills that would knock me around I reckon. Get better soon mate. All the best Col.

    Tristan, how do you film? do you leave your camera, film, and then return to collect the camera? In some scenes, it looks like you need to return a lot, including uphill.
