While on a recent hiking trip my sons Katadyn hiker pro water filter stopped working. This might be partially our fault, as the prefilter was removed. However, this shows that the Katadyn hiker pro water filter does not handle trash very well.

  • Good videos/Info!! Thank you.

    Should I go with Katadyn or MSR??

  • I have heard good things about both. Visit the website and post your question in the hiking and camping section. I am sure you will get lots of feed back.

  • Korey needs to be put on a diet.

  • Yea, he lives with his fat mother, so I have no control over that. I need to lose about 10 - 15 pounds myself.

  • I use MSR Mini Works EX, It's Fool proof. No Pun Kev..

  • I might have to get me one of those MSRs.

  • you should look into the katadyn pocket water filter. its a little bit more expensive but it is much more durable and cost effective. it does 13,000 Gallons for the life of the filter. yes, 13,000 gallons!!!

    great video.

  • silly kory!!!!

  • What a manchild of a dad. lol/

  • LifeStraw is in north america finally. anyone using it?

  • thats why i use a camel pack and it holds two litters and i used it when i went hiking 2 weeks ago and i live in florida and i gets hot and it was very good you can get it at walmart at a good price and outdoor products made it

  • I wouldn't drink any of the water you filtered. Not because the filter doesn't work, but because you contaminated the output repeatedly. The intake hose is contaminated and by wrapping it with the outtake hose around the filter when you were done, you contaminated any water that comes out of it. Plus by putting your wet hands around the mouth of the bottle without sanitizing them first you contaminated the bottle. You must keep the output components sterile or your defeating the purpose!

  • You do realize that the katadyn hiker is the same as the pur, katadyn bought pur and is now making the same filter. you put the katadyn in mud and expected it to filter, then you switched filtering places. what you should have done in dig a 6 inch hole and let the dirt flow away and then filter out of the 6inch hole to no get any mud. i was the msr sweetwater and the katadyn vario.

  • I would look at the katadine base camp its worth it !

  • So what was wrong with it?

  • Kev, Bighead here. I hate googling stuff and always coming back to the boards of your youtube channel. lol
