To prevent filter from freezing overnight, keep the filter in a ziplock bag with you in your sleeping bag.<br \/>\n*Difference between Water Filter and Purifier: Water filter removes bacteria, but the pore size is too big to remove viruses. A mechanical purifier has small enough pores to filter out viruses.<br \/>\n*Section Added to First Aid: Hyperthermia aka heat exhaustion. Summary: avoid hiking in prime heat of day, take breaks, be mindful of the level of humidity. High humidity compromises your body\u2019s ability to sweat and your sweat\u2019s ability to evaporate and cool your body down. Carry an umbrella in exposed areas.<br \/>\nSigns of hyperthermia: rapid pulse, signs of exhaustion, losing consciousness, rapid shallow breathing, headache, nausea, dizziness, weakness.<\/p>\n<p>CDT Gear List: https:\/\/lighterpack.com\/r\/fsmeqf<\/p>\n<p>PCT Gear Lists: Desert &#8211; https:\/\/lighterpack.com\/r\/f84ma7<br \/>\n                            Sierra Nevada &#8211; https:\/\/lighterpack.com\/r\/b8a8ic<br \/>\n                            Cascade Range &#8211; https:\/\/lighterpack.com\/r\/40d5gd<\/p>\n<p>AT Gear List: http:\/\/homemadewanderlust.com\/whats-in-my-pack-gear-list\/<\/p>\n<p>Links: Bear Bagging Video: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eCXTtagYDHk<br \/>\nDehydrated Ground Beef Video: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ptx6MKzaB-8<br \/>\nArmy Institute Study on Footwear: https:\/\/apps.dtic.mil\/dtic\/tr\/fulltext\/u2\/a131420.pdf<br \/>\nOutdoor GearLab Top Solar Panels: https:\/\/www.outdoorgearlab.com\/topics\/camping-and-hiking\/best-solar-charger<br \/>\nLeave No Trace 7 Principles: https:\/\/lnt.org\/learn\/7-principles<\/p>\n<p>Merch: https:\/\/shop.spreadshirt.com\/homemadewanderlust<\/p>\n<p>* I do NOT accept anything from gear companies.
