I'm drawn to the SheWee &amp; GoGirl based on their compact size, but the Freshette sounds the most fool proof in terms of use. How do you store this? Can it be carried discretely on a coed hiking trip?

Mine is in my motorcycle saddlebags so for me carrying is not a problem. If your hiking gear includes a backpack you'll be fine. Being discrete will all depend on what you have to carry it in.

The pack is NOT theft proof...a quick push of a button releases the locking brace. BUT...it is designed for just that ease of release, because it has a handle and shoulder strap option so that instead of taking your stuff out of the pack to go into 'work,' etc., you just easily/conveniently carry the pack in with you.

It's pretty small, good for a day pack. You'd be pushing it to pack enough in it for an overnight trip.

The pouch isn't sturdy, it's just a little pouch to tuck it into for privacy. Unless you put something really heavy on the Freshette, it won't crunch. Hope this helps!

I carry a light weight rain/wind jacket. I roll it up then weave it into the criss-crossed straps vertically on one side. I have at times rolled a sweatshirt up also and weaved it into the other side. They both stay put through several hours of hiking.

My mummy bag is a tight fit in the bottom compartment, so if I forced the zipper, maybe something could go, but if you take care of your gear- it will take care of you. Nothing appears to be cheaply made on this pack! The entire pack looks and feels durable. I would recommend Teton to anyone. Andy K.

Right now I don't have my bag out. I have it in the camping gear I am taking on the rafting trip. It worked out well for the rafting trip but I couldn't get all my gear into one bag. So I bought a second bag. I probably over pack But it is kind of nice to have come of the creature comforts on a seven day rafting trip.

It's very thin ripstop material. It was a perfect daypack. I didn't get it significantly wet, but put an edge under the faucet just now. Not waterproof, but it took maybe 15 seconds to permeate the fabric under faucet flow. I'd guess no for Splash Mountain. For a change of clothes, toiletries, a couple of on-the-go meals, it did great. I anticipate using it for the same things when I get to travel. I would keep a tablet or paperbacks in it, but not a laptop or textbooks. Hope that wandering journey helps!

On the one I bought, you really have to tug on the pocket to get it to come off. I bought the case for my teenager to take to camp 6 hrs away. It holds lots of gear and held up great to the wear of the trip. I'd buy it again, if I ever needed a second one.

To carry the GF on it's own in the smallest bag possible, I use the Lowepro Apex 60AW Digital Camera Pouch. The GF1 + 20mm fits perfectly and there is room for extra SD cards and nothing else. If I need to carry my whole system, I use the Lowepro Edit 120. This accommodates the GF1 with H-H020 pancake lens attached, an additional H-FS014045 zoom lens, the DMW-FL220E flash, extra batteries for the flash, the DMW-BLB13 battery for the GF1, USB cable, TV cable and a few SD cards. This is just about perfect BUT it does not fit the battery charger with plug. However with the extra DMW-BLB13 battery on board, lack of charger space is not a disaster and keeps the whole package size to the minimum.

If you haven't bought it yet, just wait til after your trip. If you already have it and not sure what to do, I would put the scoby in a zip lock bag with enough liquid to keep it wet. Press out all the air you can, and maybe put it in a second zip lock for added protection. Don't let it get too warm on ur trip and I would think you'll be fine. Let me know if you got any more questions.

The way I see it you have a couple options. If your backpack doesn't have a water bladder port then you can try fitting it into the main compartment of your pack and run the hose out of the pack zipping the two zippers snuggly around the hose. If you decide to do this I would put the water bladder in a big 1 pound ziplock bag to ensure no water leaks out on your other items. Or I advise buying a backpack that has a dedicated water bladder port that is made to hold this item and has a small hole for the hose to run out of. Most backpacking bags have these water bladder pouches now adays. Look at the condor 3 day tactical bag for a cheap(er) pack. Hope this helps you. The way I see it you have a couple options.

I ended up getting larger cool packs for longer trips. It keeps it pretty cold. It lasted me about 8 hours. She may want to have a back up if the flight is longer then that. It is definitely big enough to hold 6-7 vials.

Maxpedition is high quality. Had mine for a couple of years now. I carry it 5 days a week and have no issues with materials or workmanship. I expect the pack to last many more years to come.

It's pretty small. The drawstraps make it even more compact. It's currently stored away but if I was to guess, I'd say about 9" in diameter by 15" length. It travels really well and I hooked a clip to one of the straps so it can attach to my hiking pack. I've also stuffed a small pillow in the straps before tightening it so I can save space that way too.

eBags are good and a good value, as are Rick Steves's mesh cubes (they have the advantage of stiffeners to hold them open when packing). However if you can afford them I highly recommend a set of the Eagle Creek sil-nylon Pack-It Specter Cubes. These are extremely lightweight, strong and unlike most cubes they're water resistant. Worth the bucks. Get a basic set now and perhaps in the future by one or two more individual bags to best utilize the remaining space in your bag. These work well using the roll method to pack. See YouTube for tutorials on "Ranger Rolling" clothes. Don't forget disposable T-shirt shopping bags for shoe covers.Eagle Creek Travel Gear Pack-It Specter Cube Set, White, One Size eBags are good and a good value, as are Rick Steves's mesh cubes (they have the advantage of stiffeners to hold them open when packing).

There are two straps on this case. One that you would put around your waist and is concealed in the back when not in use. The other is a shoulder strap. When hiking I use them both together, one around my waist and the other over my shoulder-certainly more stable that putting it on your belt. You can just use one of the straps alone if you want. Understand, its a pretty big case though. It holds a DSLR with a telephoto lens plus a front pocket and an inside pocket under the flap. It has both a zipper and a velcro clasp. I love this case and bought one for my husband also.
