In preparing for a remote trip, I realized I would need to become completely reliable on natural sources of drinking water. This video compares several different choices for low-cost water filtration.
CORRECTION: In flushing out the Miniwell filter, I referred to the mouthpiece end as an “Inlet”. Technically, it’s the “Outlet”!
I have no connections with any of the products mentioned, the opinions are my own. Please visit the manufactures’ websites for more information on their product claims.
For reference, I have included what the company claims from their packaging:
