Water Filters

Water is important. I promise. I have done a lot of research on water filters because of a non-profit I used to volunteer for, and also because I enjoy camping and hiking. There are many ways to filter water, but here are two filters that I recommend that are not personal water filters. Personal water filters are great, but traveling in a group has more advantages than disadvantages, and being in a group means you have to get water for a whole group.


Katadyn Base Camp Water Filter
This filter was chosen because it can transport, and filter water, without taking up a lot of space in your backpack. Being RIGHT NEXT to water isn't the best strategy, if a water source attracted you, then it will also attract other people, which may be dangerous to your group. So put one of these in your bug out bag so you can grab some water and get back to your camp. Fast, easy, safe water can save your life.

Sawyer Point Zero Two Filter
FACT: This is the only portable filtration device that can physically remove viruses from water. The Sawyer PointONE filter is a great filter, but depending on how the zombie virus is spread, this one may be necessary. The benefit of these sawyer filter kits (check out the website and look at all the options) is that you can attach them to almost anything that holds water; five gallon buckets, trash cans, you name it. Another benefit is that they will produce water WAY cleaner than is necessary. The Point Zero Two can be used to filter water for surgery in third world environments, for instance.
