Camp Water: Low-cost Water Filtration

Camp Water: Low-cost Water Filtration In preparing for a remote trip, I realized I would need to become completely reliable on natural sources of drinking water. This video compares several different choices for low-cost water filtration.
CORRECTION: In flushing out the Miniwell filter, I referred to the mouthpiece end as an “Inlet”. Technically, it’s the “Outlet”!

I have no connections with any of the products mentioned, the opinions are my own. Please visit the manufactures’ websites for more information on their product claims.


For reference, I have included what the company claims from their packaging:

Brita Premium Water Bottle:
65% average Chlorine Taste and Odor reduction, 99.9% Particulate reduction. (No bacteria reduction claimed).
