People who go camping pack their gear with care to ensure a safe and enjoyable time on their trip. They take care to pack all the essential items needed for survival in the wilderness. Some prefer to carry along their drinking water. But carrying bottled water is a big hardship, as even one liter of bottled water can cause excessive weight in the backpack. The best choice would be to use a water filter for purifying water.

But people use various methods of water purification – some prefer to boil water where they set their camp. But this method often proves to be cumbersome as you have to build a fire for boiling water and wait till it cools down so that it is suitable for consumption. Others use iodine tablets as they find it simple and easy to use. Iodine tablets will help to purify water, but they will not remove dirt or other impurities present in water. Iodine also leaves behind an aftertaste in the drinking water, so some do not prefer this method of water purification. It is best to get a water filter specially meant for people on the move.
