    Camping Water Filters

    If you are going into the backcountry for more than a few hours, you need to have a way to refill your water bottles without falling prey to bacteria. Water disinfectants may work, but require a wait time, may not control Cryptosporidium, and may add a bad taste to the water. Pumps are a better option, but require quite a bit of work, especially if you are traveling in a group or need additional water for cooking and food rehydration. All of the staff at Outfitters Supply prefer to use the Basecamp Filtration System. Make use of gravity: just fill the 2.5 gallon bag, hang, and easily fill your containers whenever needed. The Basecamp removes Bacteria, Giardia and Cryptosporidium to EPA standards using the award-winning Hiker PRO cartridge. System includes a 2 1/2 gallon water bag with a Hiker PRO cartridge and a 3-foot output hose with an on/off switch.

    "Why Water Filtration Is Important"


    The World Health Organization (WHO) attributes 80 percent of all travel diseases to contaminated drinking water. Drinking water contains three groups of pathogenic microorganisms: viruses, such as hepatitis A, Norwalk virus, or poliovirus; bacteria, like e-coli, salmonella, and cholera; and protozoans, such as giardia and cryptosporidium. Tap water and ice cubes are usually the culprits when traveling, but even bottled water can be questionable. The backcountry is also a source of waterborne illness. A pristine stream may be safe one day and contaminated the next, as microorganisms stemming from human and animal waste are typically spread by rain and runoff. As a result, the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends treating water from every source in the backcountry.
