Water Thread
1 Whatcha drink your coffee from
2 Whatcha drink your water from
3 Howdya carry your water camping

Threadly question: how much do you do to ensure your water is clean when you drink from some source that you didn't pack in?

Personal question, are these filters any good? They look cheap as fuck and they claim to do a lot of stuff that I want.
I'm really questioning what they mean by "trace minerals" too.

I carry a 40oz hydro flask with me daily and on some hikes. I also have a 3L bladder for hikes.

Don't drink coffee, that's a fool's drug
Drink water from a Coghlans Bota bag
Have a 1L plastic coke bottle full of water I keep for reserve and cooking
I motocamp so the bota stays slung around me, and the bottle stays with my gear rolled up on the back until I setup camp..
Most of the rivers here flow from glaciers, just check up stream a bit for hazards, filter through my shemagh, boil, drink.
Not including the alcohol I bring.
>that link and product
Looks like an over priced Brita.

I live in Florida. I'm downstream of every industrial corporations shithouse, pisshouse, and trashhouse.
The water is so toxic that every single lake within a hundred miles has mercury, lead, arsenic, and pesticide poisoning in them.
Tap water is so fluorided that if I were to touch alcohol my liver and kidneys would behave the same way a postal worker does on Christmas before going Postal.
I cannot safely drink any water from this fucking state.
I need to be sure every promise of filtration that filter offers is legit before even touching river water to my lips.

I am sorry to hear that.
How is the rain quality? It might be more effective to collect and purify that.
Of course if you're camping it's not really a solution, but maybe some sort of super purifying system?
I don't know enough about how all this works.
That said, check this out.

The rain is random honestly. We get insane weather. Two weeks ago we had 50-60 degree weather, and now it's 80 degree weather in Fall.
I could spends weeks not getting any water only to have a nonstop week of rain the next day.
Thanks for the video, next time I go beach camping I'll try that design out and see how it goes.

With the way things are going, and how much salt-water there is in the world I'm surprised desalination isn't a bigger thing. Or maybe it is and I'm just under a rock.
Even in survival shows they never really bring up desalination, or simple things you can do, to desalinate salt-water.
They only time I saw it brought up was in the movie "All is Lost" when he uses a water can, plastic, and the sun to do it.
Sorry for the rant.

The popular thing with hikers these days is the "Sawyer Straw"s. One or two of them can screw onto SMART water bottles and filter.
Frankly I just don't know WHAT it filters. boiling kill most bacteria I think, maybe pair that with the life straw. I'm not sure what their strengths are for what they kill.

Another tip I learned from watching Les Stroud was if a water area has a lot of feces and other stuff around, clear an area nearby and dig a hole, then wait for the hole to fill with water (from the ground below the surface) and that water will be much safer.
Something interesting he also said related to what you said, that the REAL dangerous water was around civilization, cities, factories, etc.

I got one of those S3 sawyer bottle+filter combos for my birthday, but I've yet to try it. It seems to do everything I need except for Fluorine removal.
And to be honest I really want a home water filter to get rid of that, because I feel like shit drinking water from my Brita now.
I used to drink water from the fridge filter, and the Brita tasted so much better, but now maybe I've gotten to the point where I'm needing a better filter for the contaminants still in it.

And you're absolutely right, the closer you are to people, the more likely your water is to be bad.
That hole advice is good. I'll try that at the beach too with the desalination tool from that video. It should be fun to make.

bumping this and the question on whether that filter in the OP works.
I need a good filter to get fluoride out of tap water along with other crap.
