My Go To For Base Camp Trips

I have spent many weeks in the backcountry filtering all of my water and this is by far the most efficient way I have found. I can set it up and take care of other camp chores while this thing does its job, just keep an eye on it to change out you containers before they overflow. It is heavier than I prefer to carry when I am moving fast or covering a lot of ground on backpacking trips but works great when I am based out of one area for a while or car camping. When the filter slows, it is typically because there is a lot of debris and a quick swish in clean water tends to get it going well again, no need to worry about bringing a syringe to backflush. Overall, this product is easy to use and makes my camping trips just a littler easier so I can take more time to enjoy being out in nature.

Easy Water Filtration System

Easy to use water filtration for the campsite. Easy setup, relatively lightweight and easy to clean.

Exellent

I used the this filter on a multi-day backpacking trip with a group of three, and it performed flawlessly. Collecting water from alpine lakes was quick and effortless — just fill the bag, hang it up, and gravity does the work. The filtration was fast and effective, providing clean, great-tasting water with no strange aftertaste at all. The 6-liter capacity made a huge difference for group use. The bag lasted the entire trip without any leaks or issues, and it was incredibly convenient not having to constantly trek down to the lake for refills. We could fill up once and have enough water for cooking, cleaning, and refilling bottles for everyone.

My Go To Filtering Solution

This water filter is amazing. Once you get the couple tricks on it (hydro locking, filling), it filters quick, fast and reliably. Hydro locking: sometimes you'll get air bubbles that will slow the filtering. one trick we've learned is to presoak the filter element, because it doesn't filter well the first round otherwise. Also, having a small pot or bag to fill and then dump into the filter can help, but the best is filling it in a flowing stream.

Super Fast And Easy

This is my favorite piece of backcountry equipment. I wish I could give it more than 5/5.
