Gear testing and consumer review is underway. For the 2012 summer season I will be testing four backcountry water filtration systems:
*Sawyer Squeeze- A 3-ounce filter that has revolutionized work in third world countries by allowing you to simply attach the filter to the top of your bottle and drink; no pumping, no chemicals, no waiting.
*Katadyn Hiker Pro- A Swiss-made lightweight pump filter used by UN and military. This ceramic filter attaches to wide mouth bottles and hydration reservoirs.
*MSR HyperFlow- From Mountain Safety Research, this microfiltration system fits in a smaller lighter package that promises high speed and volume water filtration.
*Platypus Gravityworks- Using gravity and separated bladders, this system does the work for you as you attend to other activities at base camp.
Watch for more posts as I put these four systems to the test in the backcountry!
