Could you be able to eat snow right off the land and it being to cold for anything harmful to live in it?

a interesting tip for water filters with exposed outlets take a piece of tubing, long enough to cover the outlet nipple and close one end off some how and when you remove your output hose cover your output nipple so it does not get contaminated, , and it acts as a guide to what nipple is the output.

Seychelle Water Filtration has light and durable filtration bottles that remove up to 99.9999% (six logs) of bacteria and virus, and of course nasties like Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Plus, gets all the chemicals, dissolved solids, and just plain sediment out. No moving parts, boiling, no backflushing, no batteries, at around $30.00. Seychelle is a no brainer for the backcountry.

Boiling water for one minute kills everything, including cryptosporidium:

@OregonCoastGhost while you are correct............anyone that has gone backpacking knows what a pain boiling water is it is much more effective to filter it your time is worth the money for a filter

[danthman114]

you are pricing these in dollars but using metric weights.  why?

[militaydude24]

msr and platypus are both made by cascade designs

There is no need to purify Snowmelt at all if gathered correctly. If you are collecting from fallen snow, just brush off the top inch or two and fill your pot to melt. Avoid Any Discolored Snow such as Yellow, pink or reddish snow. Collect ONLY dirt free, clean white snow and you'll be fine. After all, Snow is just frozen rain and has no Guardia or protozia in it at all. If you are getting your water from ice, a lake or frozed stream, then you Will need to purify just as you would in the summer.

Of these, the MSR Hyperflow would appear to be the right choice for my needs, but other reviews on outdoor gear sites give accounts of the filter clogging quickly and MSR having to send them replacements constantly. That isn't what I would want in a filter... sure, their customer service is awesome, but I would hope to not have to use it!

I'll keep looking. I want something very reliable, very easy to use, and very long-term if possible. If anything surfaces, please message me!

Peace

Waste of money-filters.

Bandana and a few drops of clorox if your scared of the water.

Wandering the bush from Africa to America for 40 years and never used a filter. Got to use bleach overseas due to the number of corpses in the water bodies.

Notice since living in USA you yanks are scared to death of drinking steam or lake waters....rediculous, never carbon filter or bleached either in over 4000 miles of hiking everything from Maine to Tijuana..

[Strutingeagle]

I am looking at getting one soon. Do all makes and models have to have the wet filter under the coat to keep it from freezing? That is kind of a major issue there.

[wgdd3]

Take snow to melt and enough to satisfie you thirst when the snow melts from you heated little stove filter it we are 70% water so keep hydrated befor you get dehydrated without knowing it drink drink H20

[79outlaw]

looks f'n cold. Sorry I am born and raised in Hawaii. snow is not somthing i would like to have to survive in. Good vid. I like the platypus. multi use item.

[bareettdayvis]

Katadyn Hiker Pro vid please?

[Apache1974]

Have you used the Katadyn Hiker Pro Water Filter? I've seen a few vids on it and it looks nice.

[icychap]

Keeping the water close to your body is often not practical, especially when carrying a heavy pack. In 10F or below, it freezes very quickly. Just melt as needed, and use a Steripen.

[chupamiubre]

do any of the filters work on viruses? or do you still have to drop in some iodine?

[PeakSurvival]

Just did a video on this question its called why filter water ? usually in the wilderness virus containmation in streams is very low its pathogens and bacteria you want to worry about these should cover both. Selica

[vh2k]

@chupamiubre Viruses are too small for any filter that I know of. You'd want to use UV.

[SuperParve]

Thank's once again
