Best Water Pump

This has been the best pump over the ten years of group backpacking with different pumps. It is reliable, easy, low maintenance and fast. Others have broken in the field, need pre soaking or slow down too fast. I feel confident taking this pump into the backcountry.

Great Water Purifier

This has been a great unit that has served 8+ people during any of the hunts.

The Katadyn Hiker Pro is my go-to water filter. It is easy to use and lightweight, as filters go. Get as much water out of it as possible and keep it in your sleeping bag in sub-freezing conditions. I love that the storage bag has a separate container for the output hose to keep it clean. Practice with it at home to get used to handling the intake hose and keeping the output hose out of contaminated water.

Great Pump

Easy to use and clean. comes with an adapter to fit standard wide mouth Nalgene bottles. Must have as a main filtration, backup, or if you just can't wait for the gravity filters. Great crew gear.

Compact. Easy to operate and maintain. Was a perfect tool on my backcountry hunt. Organization pouch is a great touch.
