1. if it's underneath your tarp/tent fly it's not dew, it's condensation. Moisture from soil and your body raises and condenses on cold fabric. Nothing can be done about it. 2. Tarp without bivvy is a very common way to wild camp. Bivvy is mostly used to add warmth and to protect from elements...

They all can work as gravity filters, The squeeze and the micro have an extra thread so you can use two bottles without messing about with pipes.

My biggest issue with Ripspol is the needle. My repair kit is a small ziplock bag with tape, glue wire thread and CURVED needles like those (can be bought on ebay or in poundshop): Imagine trying to hand saw a boot, tent or curdura rucksack. Bend needles and my mini multitool to hold it works...

Sawyer says this in their manual. Also watch on YT "sawyer filter disassembly", I don't think I would trust the filter after the fibers have been exposed to frozen water.

Bump and price drop. I'm open to offers, would prefer someone here get this instead of putting it on ebay.

Weekend bump for the bracelet.

Buy the real thing and do a video comparison :)

You mostly paying for less weight, so If you don't have to drag it to the top of the mountain you don't have to spend hundreds. 3 categories that will save you money: 1. Household items: lighters, matches, cotton balls, cordage, plastic bags, pots and pans for consumables and kitchen. 2...

Bump and price drop on the bracelet.

Just for the record. I believe the have upgraded this model to XL because of that issue. The whole thing is the same apart from the new bigger rod. I had no issues when I played with the XL version.

I have a feeling it would actually hold the moisture increasing corrosion.

There are clones. Heavier and not as refined but pretty much identical dimensions. I bought the genuine thing for the bling factor and to support a great brand. Those can be found on ebay and ali...

In my experience everything ferrorod is very well designed and made. Not a big fan of the novelty items like the sparky or ripspool. But I like that they are trying.

How do you like it? Mine is on it's way. I know BICs are quite resistant to water but after my last jet lighter corroded away overnight after contact with salt water I want something waterproof.

The only corrosion I have experienced was from sweat in my pocket and salt water. Normal water doesn't do anything short term. So all I do is keep my firesteel away from sweaty pockets in the summer. But if you want 100% buy Exotac nanostriker XL and be sorted for life :)

Silnylon poncho I have ordered from MLD from US beginning of last year. This is one of few poncho tarps that are actually good as a shelter. Previous generation of this one: https://mountainlaureldesigns.com/product/mld-pro-rain-poncho/ The only difference is the hood, on mine it doesn't fold...
