Should You Invest in a Water Filtration System?
When you’re trekking in the wilderness, it’s all about the basics of survival-shelter, food, and water. Without these fundamentals, your camping trip is going to be inordinately short. There is, however, the cost of camping gear to consider.
Take, for example, portable water purifiers. There is no question that these devices are useful. Water is heavy to carry, and for any extended trip, you can’t possibly take enough. With access to a water purifier and any water source, you are guaranteed to stay hydrated.
But, on the other hand, water purifiers are expensive. There is a range of prices, but even the inexpensive products are around $50. The more expensive units run upwards of $250.
Purification tablets are a more cost-effective solution, but they have their own set of downsides. Some add an unpleasant taste to the water. Some take a long time to work. And so on.
