Water Purification
Choose the right water setup before you add backup gear
The cleanest starting decision is whether you want ultralight trail carry, easier camp volume, or compact tablet backup. Solve that first, then build the rest of the readiness system around it.
Decide first
- Go ultralight first if day hikes, bug-out carry, or pack weight matter most.
- Go gravity or higher-volume filtration if camp convenience and repeat use matter more than smallest size.
- Keep tablets or compact backup treatment in the system even if the main filter is already chosen.
Build the system
Start with the 72-hour readiness baseline
If this collection is the first stop, use the readiness path to build water, shelter, first aid, and calories into one complete baseline instead of buying one-off fixes.
