Reddit reviews GRAYL Ultralight Water Purifier [+ FILTER] BOTTLE (Black)

Male, not a camp counselor here, but here is what I take for a work trip. Only difference between that and a personal trip is I don't take 3 button up shirts, i just wear the one button up and use the merino t shirts as undershirts:

  The Boardwalk shorts are pretty great since they look like regular shorts, but are quick dry so you can swim in them too.
  I've had the Thunderbolt pants for a few weeks now, and they are amazing. I don't want to wear any other kind of pants now lol! I wear them around town, rock climbing, hanging around the house. I wash them about once a week.
  
  Shoes
  (for work I have some Johnston and Murphy slip on's, but for personal, I'm still experimenting. My feet seem to be the most comfortable in Salomon's. I have some Salomon XA Pro 3D's right now, but I've read that they're not really designed for walking/hiking all day as they are trail runners and the tread can wear out fast in the wrong places. Merrel Moab Ventilator's i wish didn't make my arch's hurt after a whole day of walking because they're a great shoe. I'm going to try some other brands and types, but I'd really try to find one that looks good enough to wear in town and has some outdoor qualities to them)
  
  
  Laptop area
  
  1x Laptop (either work laptop or my Chromebook or Surface3)
  1x laptop charger
  1x HDMI cable
  1x bag of extra AA and AAA batteries
  2x USB drives
  

Ideas for those in this sub that are close to florida, in florida, or in Texas, and are in need of help or assistance:

• portable water filter/bottle. Own one of these and taking it camping all the time. Could be useful
  
  
• camping stove good for emergencies. Again I have one that i use when i am in the woods for a couple of days. Could be a life saver.
  
  
• portable solar panel another great purchase.
  
  OP, I am good. Don't need anything! Just making some suggestions for those that could be in need after Harvey or Irma

Maybe your specific areas water is bad maybe try buying a water bottle with a water purifier built in. It's possible your water is contaminated with sulfur this water bottle will make any water taste normal (purifier built in)
