Newbie question about water Anonymous 2016-03-16 02:24:18 Post No. 713507 [Report]

Hey /out/, what's the best product that filters water? Preferably, one that is easy to move around with too. Normally I would just google this to get multiple opinions, but I've noticed a lack of content on filtering water. Also, as a more rookie-ish side comment, if you're /out/ with no water, the best place to drink water is from a river, right? Are there any other spots that are acceptable in which drinking water from it won't make you sick? I assume this is the right place to post this question.

The Katadyn pocket (pic related) looks really high quality. They're like $400 though.

Most people get Lifestraws or Sawyer mini's

We had these at camp mowglis and I can honestly say you can suck water out of the ugliest and murkiest of puddles. Many a times wed hike up to a stream expecting it to be roaring, only to find it entirely depleted. These things saved entire trips.

If you know the area / flood patterns really well a life straw will be more than enough.

Sawyers are cheap, easy, convenient and work great. I wouldn't recommend anything else. I've used that Katadyn and one of those Platypus gravity filters and the only way I'd take those over a Sawyer is if I only wanted to car camp.

If you have any interest in activities that are going to require you to conserve weight and space, I think Sawyer is hands down the best solution. Even better than tablets.

Sawyer Squeeze is cheap, lightweight, and lasts a long time. Everything else besides boiling is a meme.
