- Опубликовано: 7 авг 2024
- When exploring the great outdoors the one thing we take for granted is water. Staying hydrated is not as simple as drinking straight from streams and lakes. To protect against protozoa, bacteria and even viruses there is a wide range of water filtration and purification systems built specifically for backpacking.
In this video we are going to look at the different ways and methods for treating water and find one that will work best for you.

I saw this clip months ago and I was really impress. But I was really busy trying to get some stuff done on a deaditline. I meant to come back to it and bookmark it but somehow the RUclips search algorithm would not bring it up. I just stumbled onto it this time. VERY clear, concise, comprehensive and to the point. I like clips like that. OH and NO ADVERTS other than the RUclips required ones. I REALLY like that.
I am grateful that you came back to watch it. Thank you John so much. I really appreciate it.
Glad you show us what using each filter actually looks like! instead of just talking about them in a room, seeing neat neature nuggets was relaxing
Glad you liked it! Thank you Max for watching. I really appreciate it.
I use a Cnoc 2L dirty bag and a Sawyer Squeeze with a cleaning coupler to attach to a standard water/soda bottle.
Works great as a gravity system if you hang it from a tree or your hammock suspension, and you can also use it as a squeeze through system.
The cleaning coupler makes for very easy backflushing as well!
Great video, thank you!
That is my favorite system. Light weight, multi functional and fairly inexpensive. Thank you for watching and sharing that Happy Fun Time Reviews. I really appreciate it.
I have the same, but added a convirtube that threads onto the same daze water bottle threads and allows me to use that water bottle as a water bladder while hiking for ease of access. I tend to drink a little more from a water bladder and stay better hydrated.
Thank you for not mentioning DIY water filters as a way to supply drinkable water.
So many videographers use DIY water filtration as click bait for views, not considering the possible consequences to campers experimenting with sand & stones to "purify" their bush water.
This was a well thought out and comprehensive approach to water purification out in the wilds.
Thank you for comment and watching Sharp Knife. I really appreciate it.
As always, thank you so much for the excellent video! You gave us lots of choices for filtering/purifying our water safely.
Years ago, I was on a 3-week kayaking trip in Quetico Provincial Park when I contracted giardia from unfiltered water. I normally filtered all my drinking water but ran out while out on a short hike and took a drink from a cool stream. I'll ever do that again (severe stomach cramps and diarrhea for 3 days).
Today, my preferred method of treating water is catching particulates through a cloth kerchief then boiling. I carry a gravity filter or squeeze filter (Trail Shot Micro Filter), but these methods will fail if you haven't done the required maintenance. My least favorite method was using iodine tabs which affected the taste too much.
Like you said, there isn't a perfect way to purify water, we have to weigh all the pros and cons and use a method that best suits our needs. Thanks again Marine!
When I first started to canoeing the BWCA and Quetico. We would never treat the water. My Grandfather would always travel in that area during the 20s through the 60s. Never got sick, not even once.Those where different times. Your method of boiling then straining it through a cloth kerchief, is probably the best and safest way. Thank you for sharing that P Arnold-Mora.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine That fateful trip to Quetico was around 1983. The water was still considered to be "pretty safe" so I took a chance. That same trip became one the most memorable in my life...I witnessed the most spectacular northern lights display I have ever seen. It sounds like you get your backpacking passion from your grandfather. Bet you have some great experiences in Quetico as well!
Thanks for this informative video, I didn’t really know the difference between purifying and filtering so thanks! Hello from UK
Some day I will be visiting the UK. Thank you for watching jirlam1. I really appreciate it.
Our boy scout troop has used the UV-pens on trips to BWCA in the past. We went to Isle Royale this summer. On the boat over, the rangers told us that there is a tapeworm in the waters that those pens had not been tested against yet; they could not guarantee success and thus, did not recommend using them. I had a Sawyer Mini along and it made drinking from Lake Superior effortless. I suspect the tapeworm the rangers talked about would have been in more warmer, stagnant ponds than clear, 42 degree Superior. However, I know you've been to Isle Royale and thought I'd pass that tidbit along. Thank you so much for sharing all your information and experience!
Like you Greg. When on the Island. I would try to get my water from Lake Superior. Otherwise, from a spring creek. I like my water clean as possible and cold. Did not know about the tape worm. I wonder if they are from all the moose. Thank you for sharing that. And thank you for taking the time to take those boys or girls into the great outdoors.
Thanks for your response. I just saw this video and I became a subscriber . Thanks for all your hard work and I’ll be looking forward to new ones, as wells as watch what I’ve missed.
Thank you for subscribing Alice. I really appreciate it.
Thank you for the video, showing all the systems, with so many informations about it.
I just need this information, for my choice, what to buy.
Greetings from sw germany (Europe). (liked and longer subscribed.)
Thank you sunnymas for watching. Some day I will be visiting Germany.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine Devil dog what camera do you use? Gopro?
I'm in the UK and a great believer in Boil and Tablet water cleansing. Never had an issue with such and don't see the need in UK for changing. Also in Winter on Mountains, filters cannot be allowed to freeze, so again the old Boil the snow, and tablet method good for me!
Boiling water is the safest method. But the only time I will boil is to melt snow for water. But there are some areas in the world were I would definitely boil the water. After it cools down a little. Than I would filter it.
Thank you Mr Nobodies Wild Camping Adventures for watching. I really appreciate it.
Thanks again for another great video filled with a lot of helpful info. Really enjoy you info videos. Hope your summer has been well. Looking forward to a trip video soon I hope? Happy trails Marine, hi to Runner too.
It is always good to hear from you Gobuck63. I leave next Wednesday for the BWCA with my son. Him and I have made many trips up there over the years. But since he moved to China 5 years ago. This will be our first since then.Thank you for always watching. I really appreciate it.
Backpacking With a Hammock That’s great to here your taking a trip. It’s wonderful you and your son can get away! Special time. Enjoy
Awesome and well explained / delivered
Thank you sir. It is always go to hear from you Kevin.
what-er
thanks for the informative video! i’ve been looking for a video like this and had to go way down the line to get it
Glad I could help! On Tuesday morning. I will be launching a video about what I believe to be the best water filtration system. Thank you for watching Rachel. I really appreciate it.
Great content. To add to the mix I love my Mil bag it is a sock shaped canvas bag that pre filters all the gunk and leaves out before boil or chemical treatments. Also just got a Grayl this summer which is a carbon filter. It's simple and design and works well.
Thank you Travis for sharing that. Good info.
Great Review thanks 👌
Thank you Brian for watching. I really appreciate it.
Thank you for sharing. I like the Sawyer Mini and Squeeze filters. Have the Mini in all family personal kits. Have the Squeeze for vehicles and group situations. Also have their 5 gal bucket kit for base camp application. There are several good examples, on line, of how to add a DIY carbon filter, if desired, using activated carbon (used in aquarium filters).
Thanks, too, for going over multiple methods with regards to potable water. Always good to have multiple ways, including SODIS, chlorine dioxide, boiling and Sawyer filters, in my case. .... That reminds me!!! I need to check the expiration dates of my purification tablets. Suspect they are out of date. Glad I watched, that's for sure.
That's funny. Mine just expired. Thank you for watching and sharing that Oldtimer Lee. I really appreciate it.
Thank you for the video
You're welcome. Thank you for watching T Stuck. I really appreciate it.
Great info..one thing to consider when using a gravity system, is to leave a loop on the hose that you fill your bottles with...that's lower than the bottle is. So any unfiltered water on outside of the bag will drip from the loop, and not get in your bottle.
Thank you Mike for sharing that. Great piece of info.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine A lot of great information on your articles ! And thank you for your service in the Marines brother... May God richly bless you.
Thank you. Very knowledgeable.
One point... viruses are generally not an issue in US but the exception is norovirus. This virus can affect water sources if humans have pooped (or vomited) close or into the water. If in doubt, filter and use chemicals/ultraviolet or heat treat. Away from places with lots of humans, not a problem.
Another point, heating to boiling is not essential to get a good kill of micro-organisms. Temperatures over 149 deg F can kill if held there long enough and if heated to over 163, takes little time for multiple log reductions in pathogens; the trouble is that judging pasteurization temperature in the field is not straightforward, need a water pasteurization indicator.
You are welcome!
Regarding leakage from the wide mouth of the Cnoc (pronounced 'crohc'!) Vecto, one possible reason for this is folding the top of the bag the wrong way -it's easy to slide the seal across the top of the bag if it is folded in the wrong direction but it will leak.
Thank you John for sharing that.
thanks for your video. I use a Katadyn hiker pro and a Sawyer Mini, though i prefer the size of the mini and how much water it can clean
I have used the Sawyer Mini for the past few years. A very light weight filter and great size. But last year I switched to the sawyer one. Becuae it flows faster and some time I will use it as a gravity bag filter. Thank you for watching Jay. I really appreciate it.
Appreciate all your tips on choosing a water filtration system. Is it necessary to rinse the filter when you get home per outing? Like you mentioned using a scrubby? Would you ever filter twice or do you boil it first and that’s fine? Thanks
When I get home from a trip. I will always back flush or clean or rinse the filter, depending on which one I use. Than I will leave it out to dry all day.To make sure it is completely dry. Depending on the water source and if there are any particles floating around. And if there is.Than I would filter boiled water. But when using a filer for treating water. You only need to filter once. It is funny that you asked that question. Because my son wanted me to tell people in the video about the time he was using a Steri Pen. During the day, with the clear water. After using the Steri Pen. The water looked great. But during the night, with the glow of the light of the pen. You could see all the little dead critters and particles floating around. Now he will only drink filtered water. I guess it scared him for life. Thank you for watching Alice G. I really appreciate it.
Are any of these mentioned, reverse osmosis filters ? I used a Berkey, gravity filter but realized it did not filter completly so I changed to undersink RO for the same price$. The RO needs pressure and does backflow somewhat.
No. All are flow through ( osmotic pressure ). Thank you for sharing that and watching J Hendricks. I really appreciate it.
Hey man. For tarp ridge line, do you prefer zing it or paracord? Thanks and semper Fidelis
I love to use Amsteel. Which is one of the strongest material for its weight to protect the hammocks on those longer hangs. Plus like paracord. It is nice to hang on too when you get up in the middle of the night to pee. Especially in the winter time. Thank you Chef on the trail for watching. Semper Fi.
I do most of my hikes in western Kentucky so most of our water is Okay enough just to use a sawyer squeeze. Never had a problem so far. If I went out of country I would look into better systems.
Here in the U.S. We do not have to worry about various. So most of the time. I also would use a Sawyer Squeeze. But when I was in Kenya. I was a little worried. Thank you for watching Chris.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine Kenya sounds fun to visit, but you are right if I left country I am for sure going to upgrade.
Hi great video what hammock do you use in your videos. Looking to backpack
That is the Dutchware Gear Wide 11ft. Netless. Next week I will have a video on 6 great hammocks with a bug net. Thank you for watching Matt.
check out eno sin 7 for backpacking. super light and strong.
I will thanks for responding!
Used them all, like Survivor Filter the best
Thank you for sharing that BOOSTEDLASER. I will have to check the Survivor Filter. And thanks for watching. I really appreciate it.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine MOS 0317 Semper Fi TY FOR SERVING !
Semper Fi.
But if the filters cannot stop viruses, it makes them almost redundant because you’d be hoping the water source doesn’t have viruses
When I was in Africa. The water was so muddy. And in a third world country. A chance for viruses. What you do is filter the muddy water to clean it up. Then boil it for any chances of viruses. Now you have some what clean water that is free from viruses. Thank you Deepak p for watching. I really appreciate it.
Have you used the Grayl Geopress?
No I have not. It looks interesting. Have you used one yet?
@@AdventureswiththeMarine Yes. It's a little large but extremely easy to use. Additionally, you can use it as a canteen to carry water before you need to filter any.
Got any vids on hammock bug nets?
Funny that you should ask that. That is my next video. I am hoping to get it out by the beginning of next week. You are a mind reader. Thank you for watching Mitch. I really appreciate it.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine 👍
He forgot the Grayl and Grayl Ultralight! :D I got the regular version and recommend this to anyone.
Thank you for sharing that Millan. I will have to give them a try.
I think you put the CNOC water bag in the wrong category. I use it with a sawyer mini in a gravity system and the only squeezing I ever do is to push out the last bits of water left in the bag at the end. Technically, the sawyer mini is a drink thru filter, gravity filter, and squeeze thru filter, depending on how you deploy it. So I think that classifying filters like this is a waste of time, since they have effectively become all-rounders. I believe it is either pump or non-pump. More often than not, lazy or otherwise, the intelligent person will eventually use a gravity system, or at worst, a squeeze thru system if they are totally anal about the extra weight they are carrying. I have used 2 pump filters and I can honestly tell you that they are a waste of time, energy, space, and weigh a ton more.
The lightest it will probably every get for a reliable system would be the sawyer mini with their proprietary squeeze bags. When you're so done trying to fill up those bags (and others with small inlet holes like it), you will get a CNOC (or something like it with 2 openings).
Sawyer mini with syringe, 98g.
CNOC 3L (pre-2019 version), 92g. This bag is very long and can be a tad bit difficult to pack. I recommend the shorter 2L model for hikers.
Thank you for sharing that and watching Jamin David Seah. I relly appreciate it.
SEMPER FI WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE "GRAYL WATER FILTER"?
No. I have not had the chance to try it out. It dose look interesting. Do you have one. And if so. What do you think?
@@AdventureswiththeMarine There are many reviews of it already. Especially the ultralight version is great for camping. It's the best price/quality thing that exists I believe. Their customer support is good too. I have the bigger version and am a big fan.
Personally I haven't taken it camping yet, but the ability to filter water without boiling it, saves a lot of time and gas.
The fact that you can filter water in seconds is amazing. When I go camping, I bought some "filter socks", to filter out tiny sediments before filtering it through.
It seems the Sawyer squeeze filters are cheaper than the gravity ones, and with some modification it looks like it can still be used like a gravity system. EDIT: I see you already mentioned that last part.
I just mentioned that because I am going to do another video on that subject. Good eye Remy.
