9. Water Bottle and Filter
If you’re convinced that you’re adequately prepared to hydrate yourself during your next camping trip, you can throw yourself completely into hiking, cycling, or kayaking. Just bring as much water as possible in canteens, bottles, and camel packs.
If you know you’re going somewhere with a water source, make sure you have some purification tablets or even a Lifestraw to filter out the bacteria and gunk.
Water treatment is crucial in maintaining your health and avoiding getting sick outdoors. Yes, not all water sources are unsafe, but keep in mind that even the most pristine-looking ones can make you sick. If humans, wildlife, or livestock can reach an area, so can bacteria spread via their fecal matter.
Why take a chance on your digestive system when you have so many ways of treating your water?
