What type of water filtration do you bring hiking? I ran out of water on the last hike and need a lightweight water filter for hiking.
Answer Question
When hiking I'll bring a Katadyn Hiker Pro filter pump. It's been great at treating some less-than stellar water sources and never had an issue. I'll also carry some AquaMira drops that I can use on exceptionally sketchy water.
I carry a Sawyer mini water filter, which I highly recommend. If you're concerned about flow rate you may want to get a Sawyer mini squeeze instead. Both are excellent.Keeping in mind, these filters are cheap and light so if you carry it and never need it, it's not a huge deal because it doesn't weigh you down as much as a larger pump filter might.Alternatively, you can use gravity fed Sawyer mini setup. It filters about a minute per liter.
