Great Water Purifier

This has been a great unit that has served 8+ people during any of the hunts.

The Katadyn Hiker Pro is my go-to water filter. It is easy to use and lightweight, as filters go. Get as much water out of it as possible and keep it in your sleeping bag in sub-freezing conditions. I love that the storage bag has a separate container for the output hose to keep it clean. Practice with it at home to get used to handling the intake hose and keeping the output hose out of contaminated water.

Great Pump

Easy to use and clean. comes with an adapter to fit standard wide mouth Nalgene bottles. Must have as a main filtration, backup, or if you just can't wait for the gravity filters. Great crew gear.

Compact. Easy to operate and maintain. Was a perfect tool on my backcountry hunt. Organization pouch is a great touch.

It Works

Easy to use but not as quick as smaller squeeze bag type filters. Good if you want to divvy up the weight of your gear between people or plan on staying somewhere and filtering decent amounts of water. Never gotten sick using it and it's simple to operate so it's hard to complain. A good option overall
