I would appreciate any suggestions or opinions on good water filters for hiking. I am looking for something portable and light.
Thank you gentlemen.
Thank you gentlemen.
Sawyer mini, and some Aquamira for really questionable water sources.
@MntnMan62 I still have a larger PUR system we used for groups of 5. I was disappointed to see the PUR company had folded due to issues back when. Then heartened to hear Katadyn had taken on support and continue some of their lines.I’ve been using a Pur Hiker water filter since I was a kid backpacking in the Adirondacks in the late 70’s. I still have it and use it when I take my son (now 15) camping. It is now called the Katadyn Hiker.

Double-checking, of course everyone knows to use coffee filters as a water intake pre-filter, but remember to also pack rubber bands.

... but really guys, you are out in the wilderness. I expect to have to work a little.
We also used the Katadyn Hiker for awhile ...We also bring tablets as a back-up, but have never used them.
