Hi

OK, I've bought said item, it's basically a camelbak but has a different name! It claims to have a high flow bite valve, chuffin no flow bite hard as you like valve more like

Does anyone know how they work? I can only get water out if I remove the yellow bit, I'm sure that's not right though, surely

It should be "i" in the piccie

Any help would be greatly appreciated

What the hell is that looks like you see in casualty

I've got a couple of these and they work well for me - much better than the normal Camelbak bite valve. You are biting it at 90 degrees to the slot are you or you'll just close it? And I assume you've removed the clear cellophane hygeine cover thing on it? That's all I can think of, sorry, tho they can sometimes take a bit of work to get going. I use mine for skiing and climbing, you?

And no you definitely don't remove the yellow bit or it'll just **** water everywhere. You do know you have to work it a bit first to get the water all the way through the system as the first bit is against gravity?

Paul, I thought it looked a bit like a drip of some sort too

Blue, thanks I thought it might be tough to start with but not this tough! Should the yellow thing have a split in it? it has a kind of groove in it but no split, I really can't see how to get owt out of it! I took the yellow bit for an experiment, you're right it p*ssed water everywhere and I nearly drowned

I'll be using it for walking / rally spectating. I'm sick of lugging bottles about! They're hard work to carry plus you have to take your rucksack off to get to them, this looks like just the job, well it will if I can ever get it to work!

Cheers

Oh right. yes it should have a split not just a groove! it won't work without it. you can buy the m'pieces separately or do it yourself with a large Kitchen Devil in a manouevre guaranteed to end in casualty as originally predicted!

BOB.T

Ah cool, thanks again!

I'll take it back to the shop then, I'm really not to be trusted with knives without an adult present

Thanks

How long have Berghaus been doing the sex toys?

I have a nice comfy pair of their Storm boots.

BOB.T

That's excellent, cheers guys

I emailed the manafacturers in the US, it seems they have had "funky batch" they say I could slit it with a razor blade, **** that, it's bound to end in tears and blood loss or they'll "send one right out" I think I'll just go back to the shop, I can't be arsed waiting for the post

Thanks guys

Eric you've got it all wrong. The Storms aren't boots they're extra heavy duty lace-on condoms. Like you say Berghaus have been expanding their range.

BOB.T

Phew, I've just got back from town

The shop, millets, exchanged said item, no worries, in fact he said he'd check the renainder of his stock, inform the other branches and thanked me for making him aware of the problem. I've bought a few things from there now, they seem really good to deal with, I was more than happy today

I'm also pleased with initial trials of said item, it's currently sat on top of all my paper work providing me with refreshing water

My Platypus came without a hole in the end as well.
I just stuck a hole in it with the end of a knife; where the groove was. Works fine.

BOB.T

Yeah but have you seen me with sharp implements!
