Clean drinking water is critical on the trail. Here are popular water filtration options for backpackers:
1. Pump Filters – Reliable and effective.
2. Squeeze Filters – Lightweight and easy to use.
3. UV Purifiers – Fast but require batteries.
4. Chemical Tablets – Ultra-light and compact, but leave a taste.
5. Gravity Filters – Great for groups at campsites.
Choose based on your group size, trip length, and water source. Hydration is non-negotiable in the wild.
