it is actually a toiletry bag

there is no better pump

Macgyver wouldn’t need more

standard

basic

just for emergencies 

it works

I never use it

just in case

as well as this one

after 4 broken spokes you will know how important it is

like this, too

it feels much better with it in my bag

can be a life saver

essential

puhhh… you need so much time to get 1l of clear water

it’s always good to carry enough water with you

pimp

love it

satisfied – pretty fresh even after a while on the road  

light, waterproof, good

reminds me on good times in the past

always a good choice

practical – you can use it for several things

just fun – I don’t kill or/and eat animals

worthy to buy
