Water Purification

[BeaSirius]

Does anyone have a good recommendation for water purification?
Thanks, BeaSirius

Will you be purifying water in an urban environment or the wilderness?

More details yo…

That’s like asking “Does anyone here have a good recommendation for food?”

Buy a filter in the camping shop round the corner. It's basically a piece of charcoal you pump the water through, by hand. Otherwise bring a pot and boil. Distill saltwater, or throw in those pills you find in liferafts that seperate the water from the salt. There are also purification pills. If you have none of all, get a transparent bottle, fill it up and put it in the sun for half an hour. It is said all germs and stuff are killed by UV-rays after some time. I don't believe it but it's maybe better than nothing.

Steripen kit. Quick, easy to use and small. A single set of batteries is good for almost 100 liters of water.
