Sawyer Micro Squeeze Water Filter Review

The Sawyer Micro Squeeze is a 2 oz / 57 g hollow-fiber membrane water filter that removes bacteria and protozoa from water. It's a common choice of water treatment for hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail and the Continental Divide Trail and is worth considering for shorter backpacking trips as well

Best PCT Water Filters

The Best Pacific Crest Trail Water Filters

Using the data from the Pacific Crest Trail survey, I've come up with a list of the best PCT water filters and treatment systems. It's a question that many hikers struggle with every year (unless you don't believe in treating because your thru-hiking power level is over 9,000) - how to turn

Katadyn BeFree Water Filter Review

When I first started using the Katadyn BeFree I thought to myself, "By the beard of Zeus! This thing is absolutely amazing. I can't understand how it hasn't already driven all other lightweight water filters out of business. What was I doing not using this thing before?" However, after a month of

CamelBak All Clear UV Water Purifier Review

Want to make everyone you see jealous of how quickly and easily you're able to purify water? The CamelBak All Clear is by far the quickest and easiest water purifier I've ever used.

Katadyn SteriPEN Ultra UV Water Purifier Review

Figuring out how you're going to take questionably sanitary backcountry water from a stream, lake, or puddle that may or may not be entirely urine, and turn it into something you can drink is a problem that many people struggle with (and that many companies are vying to solve). One of the more

Sawyer MINI Water Filter Review

As you will quickly learn on-trail and in the wilderness, whether through your conversations with other hikers or through divine intervention, water (and its level of purity) is a very serious issue. After your backpack, tent, and sleeping bag, your water purification system ranks highly on the
