I own most water purification systems on the market. The Grayl is my latest purchase and is now my go to. I backpack in the north Ga, NC, TN mountains where water sources are usually close by but not always easy to get to. If I can’t reach the source, I tie paracord to the metal eyelet, lower the Grayl, fill it, pull it up and press the water through filter and I’m back on the trail in minutes. When I stop for the day, I use my Grayl stove to boil water in the Ultrapress to add to my dehydrated meal then use the same system to boil water for my morning coffee. I bought a second for my wife. We don’t hit the trail without our Grayls. Age: 60s. Use: Day hikes, overnight backpacking, week long backpacking trips.
