Great story and pics. Really enjoyed them. Congrats on your hunt. +100 on that. That really was one of the best stories I've read on this forum. I dig that DIY mindset.

Great write-up, really enjoyed it.
How do you like that in-line filter on the hydration tube?
Thank you Sir!! I have grown to really dig the inline filter. No more pumping for me. Just fill at a creek and back on the way, no more digging out the filter and squating down by the creek for 5 minutes to fill up the bladders. If filling up the camp water bladder or my wife's bladder I just hook my bladder to the tripod or trekking pole and begin the "I.V. drip" as I like to call it, at a rate faster than I can pump the katadyn hiker pro I own and its all effort less and only ways 1/10 the weight of the katadyn too. Be hard to convince me to go back to a pump model anytime soon.  Here it is filling up the camp 6L water bladder: ![[Linked Image]](http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x8/alaska_lanche/Early%20August%20Sheep%20Hunt%202011/IMGP0445.jpg) Luke, What brand is that gravity fed filter system?

Thanks again for all the comments, leaving in the morning with my wife for another 10 day adventure chasing 'bou and sheep. Well, keep us posted and my thanks also for a great story and nice pictures You sure cause me to wish I was about fifty years younger!
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

Plus one on the great write-up! Thanks a lot.
Since we're mostly gear junkies anyway, I wonder if you could tell us what pack your bride is using and just quick thoughts on it. Maybe there's a link to a previous thread I missed??
Thanks, Luke. Looking forward to the next story!
