Water Filtration for Family Backpacking

Water Filtration for Family Backpacking



Not all the water sources in the backcountry need to be treated or filtered, but it’s not always easy to tell the difference with the naked eye.

We used to carry a heavy gravity feed system that worked well for shorter hikes where we would set up a base camp. When we started hiking loops and thru-hikes we needed to come up with something lightweight and convenient. Our solution was to use individual in-line filters from Sawyer Products.

In this video we share with you our families strategy for water filtration for camping, backpacking, or hiking. This is how we do it, and a a few things to watch out for.

Thanks for watching.

My Water Filtration System

My Water Filtration System



This video discusses the two efficient and safe methods I prefer for filtering and purifying water while hiking and backpacking. The Sawyer Squeeze is my first choice for filtering water and Aquamira is my back-up.
This is a supplemental video to my Appalachian Trail Thru Hiking adventure. I began thru hiking on Sunday, 23 February at Amicolola Falls State Park, GA. This will be an awesome backpacking journey along the Appalachian Trail, which runs from GA to ME and covers approximately 2193 miles. Thanks for joining me on this hike! Lots of other thru hikers started their thru hike the same day as I did. Thru hiking the Appalachian Trail will prove to be an adventure of a lifetime.
