water filters
Miox or steripen? Its bad ass. forgot name something about techno magic wand? Great for clean (non silty) mountain lakes and streams. Not good for bad tasting water to begin with. Recommend orange colored or clear nalgene with cloth over top when filling. Only filter you need for crystal clear uinta lakes and high mountain streams.
Ceramic filters. Good and cheap, slow going lots of parts to lose when servicing. Plug up quick in heavy silt ( recommend cloth over hose.
Other membrane (first need & katadyn hiker pro) pretty much the shit! Shorter filter life.
Tablets- must need in every first aid kit. Tastes like chlorine, slow, no filter. Only use for backup
