Clean Water for Camping wilderness or outback areas

Clean water is important to keep you in the best of health.

I Boil  my  water for a minimum of 3 to 5 minutes to kill all germs. I also have on hand some

Chlorine tablets which are  a chemical agent, like iodine, which  kills harmful parasites and bacteria. It takes longer to work than iodine, often up to four hours. However, chlorine treatment does not cause an offensive odor or taste. Chlorine tablets can be purchased  by clicking on the link provided

While there are effective treatment options, it is important to note that for them to be effective you need to first filter your water. This will remove larger organisms and harmful chemical and materials. If you do not have a filter, you can use cheesecloth or a coffee filter . Whichever option you choose for treatment, make sure you follow the instructions closely. Don't let a preventable illness ruin your trip!          

This emergency water filter  is fairly light weight and can be used a few times.
