Start learning survival skills ASAP. Its not just "lost in the woods and need to get out", these skills can make you self sufficient. Start looking up what tools you will need in order to live on your own. Find out your climate/area, and what is required to live there (does it snow a lot, are you in a desert, etc). Next find a damn good water source far away from the city. Chances are theres many people who have already scouted the location and picked a spot near where you might think it would be ideal, so keep that in mind. Really just do research first, you don't want to waste money on things you don't need or wont last or on things that will break easy. (Katadyne water filters which cost hundreds, as apposed to a simple tiny bottle of iodine crystals, which will do much better and save a hell of a lot of weight and money. Simple things like that will make a world of difference, so really research is key. Download one of these, and you have a shit ton of info that can easily save your life. Those videos are amazing, and has given me a lot of knowledge. There are other resources like this which go a lot more in depth of certain skills. I would use both (as I have for the past few years). Like BCSKS said, start gathering non perishable or dehydrated foods. Bug Out Bags are ideal for this type of thing, and the info in those videos and that youtube channel will help you with deciding what you need, and what brands to get. Buy seeds and learn how to grow in your climate, and what will grow in your climate. Weight is the biggest issue, so buy the most compact, light, and durable things possible. Here are some simple rules and simple tools that you should memorize and buy first.

Rule of Threes:

You can survive 3 minutes without air, three hours without shelter, three days without water, and 3 weeks without food. FOLLOW THESE. Most people think about food or water first, and then die of hypothermia or hyperthermia.

Ten "C's" of Survivability:

  1. Cutting tool
  2. Combustion device
  3. Covering (tarp, blanket, etc)
  4. Container (water boiling)
  5. Cargo (alice pack, back pack, etc)
  6. Compass
  7. Cordage
  8. Candle (wax candle, flashlight, etc)
  9. Combination tool
  10. Cloth (bandana 3x3' [cargo, filtering, etc)

    If you have those 10 tools, and of course the knowledge of survival (which is on those videos and that youtube channel), than you will most likely survive. Remember, the more you know, the less you need. But, its always best to be prepared and have more than the bare minimum. Sorry for the wall of text, but I had to be specific. Hope that starts you off well.

My time to shine! I'm big into canoe camping. All the links I'm giving you are from Amazon Canada but you can get the same stuff on Amazon USA.

  • Get a backpacker's stove. You can get a cheap one from Amazon like this or this.

  • Get a cookpot off of Amazon too like a Toaks pot or Stanley pot.

  • Get a water filter like the Katadyn BeFree.

  • Get a spork.

  • Get a frying pan that has a handle that can fold up. There are a ton of options for this on Amazon.

  • Don't forget a spatula. You can get smaller, lighter options for this on Amazon.

    Now you're all set for anything you have to cook.

    Food suggestions:

  • Frozen meat for the first night
  • Frozen bacon for the first morning
  • Eggs for the first morning
  • Salami
  • Bagged tuna
  • Bagged salmon
  • Fish (if caught)
  • Babybel cheeses
  • Nuts
  • Seeds
  • Beef jerky
  • Low carb tortillas
  • Avocado for the first day
  • Mayo packets
  • Dark chocolate
  • Oatmeal packages
  • Dehydrated fruit like peaches and strawberries
  • Dehydrated veggies like peppers and onions and mushrooms
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, pepper, seasonings
  • Dehydrated meals from MEC or REI (you can get regular options and low carb options)
  • Bagged quick cook rice

    I tend to not eat three meals a day when paddling. I have breakfast and dinner and maybe some snacks during the day.

    Be mindful that if you are paddling and hiking and portaging you're going to be burning huge amounts of calories. If you're just lazing about on a dinghy maybe not so much.

I've got a ton of budget best bang for the buck gear, but one place you absolutely should not skimp on is socks. Buy 2-3 pair of SmartWool Expedition weight socks. It's like wearing slippers inside your boots.
Socks
Here's some more of the cheap (mostly) gear that I purchased and am still happy with. This includes some revisions I've made after a somewhat miserable trip to Yosemite. I am a freak for reading reviews and digging for the best price.
$8 Stove
$8 Mug
$16 underwear... okay, this is almost as important as socks!
$29 Solar charger, or DIY
$85 Water filter, didn't want to skimp here although water tabs are doable
$9 550 paracord
$14 multitool - use a small cheap knife to 'cut' costs
$28 titanium Anodized Aluminum pot
$9 Tarp Couldn't find the link, but it's at WalMart in their camping section, by Outdoor Products.
$9 titanium spork
$45 hammock - you can get cheaper on campmor, but this one caught my eye at REI
$16 hammock suspension - you can get cheaper by DIY
$14 Compass
Sierra Trading Post has Comfortrel longjohns for $17/top or bottom - feels cheap, but effective.
$24 15 degree mummy bag IMO the next best thing for the money is The Cat's Meow at ~$90.
$22 tent - small, decent weight, cheap, hard to find. Not sure if I trust in rain, but worked great for five days of decent weather and 30 degree nights. Dumped this for the hammock setup due to weight and size. (but it's not that heavy or big)


In addition, I'll be switching to the $45 54litre pack from Costco.
GoLite has some crazy cheap light backpacks, but they don't seem to do well for loads heavier than ~25 pounds, which you probably won't hit on a budget.
$10 tab stove - haven't used, gonna try this out soon

Wal Mart has been seriously stepping up their backpacking game in the last year or so. Take a look their. A lot of the products are decent quality at crazy good prices.

I use Source 3L bladder for hydration and filter using an MSR gravity filter which I have rigged up to connect directly to the drink tube using a QD--- the bladder doesn't have to leave the pack to be refilled.

I use floppy bottles for my whisky.

u/jstgodar · 6 pointsr/Ultralight
  • (-3.08oz, ~$40) Switch the Smart Liter Bottle, scoop, and Sawyer Squeeze for a Katadyn BeFree 1L.
  • (~1oz, free) Cut the leukotape into strips. Take maybe 0.5oz depending on your personal preference.
  • (0.95, free) Mark the toothpaste as consumable as it does not need to be included in your base weight.
  • (~16oz, $174) Switch the pack for something like a KS-50.

    I love my smartwool 250g baselayers. They are comfortable to about 40F moving for me (I get cold easily).

    What's the talenti jar for?

    How large is the mesh bag? You could potentially switch to a 0.05-0.11oz cuben fiber ditty bag like the ones from borah gear for ~$5-10.

    Do you need the long sleeve button down? Depending on the conditions, you may be able to get away with using the baselayer top as worn and dropping the button down.

    EDIT: Smartwool had a glitch yesterday with allowing multiple coupons. I got $35 off on a baselayer using HAPPY2018 ($15 off), SHOPSMART ($20 off), and FEELSGOOD (free ship). Just keep entering the coupons / clicking checkout and going back. The cart eventually updated to allow all three coupons at once for me on the total (unless they fixed this)
u/ireland1988 · 5 pointsr/Ultralight

You know whats even more awesome? The flow rate of the BeFree. I've used sawyer for years now but after getting the BeFree I don't think I'll be switching back anytime soon. I guess the only downfall is needing their bag for it but I always carried a dirty bag so no big deal.

u/archbox · 5 pointsr/EDC

Yes, see the picture of it hoooked up (with extra tubing) to a large bag:

http://sawyer.com/products/sawyer-mini-filter/

Although you might want to stick with something more dedicated for that task like:

http://www.amazon.com/Sawyer-Products-SP162-Complete-Filtration/dp/B005SO94A0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416897147&sr=8-1&keywords=sawyer+gravity

Because the sawyer will have less throughput and slightly less efficacy (note that the sawyer mini is still about 10x better than the life straw and filters much more water while only being a few bucks more or the same price if bought in bulk. I bought 4 minis for $65 shipped).

u/ib4student · 5 pointsr/EDC



| Lifestraw | Sawyer Mini
---|---|----
Membrane | 0.2 microns | 0.1 microns (2x better)
Capacity | 264 gallons | 100,000 gallons (378.8x better)
Bacteria | 6 LOG | 7 LOG (10x better)
Bacteria% | 99.9999% | 99.99999% (10x better)
Protozoa | 3 LOG | 6 LOG (1000x better)
Protozoa% | 99.9% | 99.9999% (1000x better)
Price | $19.89 | $19.41 or 4 for $67.51 ($16.88 each)

The mini is also smaller and comes with a 32 oz squeezable water pouch, 7" tube, syringe for cleaning (if it clogs)

>Attaches to included drinking pouch, standard disposable bottles (28 mm thread), hydration packs, or use the straw to drink directly from your water source

u/OBJHamSandwich · 4 pointsr/Ultralight

The Katadyn gravity filter has a 10L version, which has a shoulder sling for transport. Check the video on the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NKPOC3I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_RfdTAbMQ6HSBQ

Alternately, there are soft-sided and folding water containers. This one even has a spout and can be sealed. Rig up a strap and you’re set— it has a handle you can rig a strap through: https://www.rei.com/product/896268/gsi-outdoors-folding-water-cube-39-gal

Of course, you also have the old reliable collapsible bucket: https://www.rei.com/product/782974/sea-to-summit-folding-bucket-20-liters

u/edheler · 4 pointsr/preppers

At home or in my RV I have Big Berkey's with white ceramic filters. I also have a fairly large number of spare filters of both varieties. It filters water from my roof fed cistern more than well enough for drinking after the normal house 5 and 1 micron canister filters.

For my BoB/GHB or out camping I use either a Sawyer Squeeze or a Sawyer Mini. Both are great portable filters. Before I switched to those I used a Katadyn Hiker Pro which works well but the filters are only good for a few hundred gallons.

u/notaneggspert · 3 pointsr/GoldandBlack

If only there was an affordable way to purify a lot of water from any source. Wait. Yes. There. Are. Several.

u/Borgoff · 3 pointsr/camping

The Sawyer mini is great as an inline filter on a hydration bladder or as part of a gravity setup. It's certainly rated to handle more than enough water to last 4 days (unless everyone is drinking several thousand gallons with breakfast), but it would be a lot easier to use the regular size for car camping.

If you want to save some space in the car, get the sawyer all-in-one kit and a clean 5 gallon bucket from home depot. Spend 20 minutes setting up the bucket filter and everyone will be happy.

Or, go the extra cheap route and just pack a bunch of gallon jugs since you're car camping and don't have to carry anything long distances over rough terrain.

Edit: sorry, this advice was directed more at OP than you. For you, I would still get the sawyer. Pumping water sucks and it's so easy to set up a sawyer for group usage that there's no real reason to spend that much on something heavier and harder to use. Get the sawyer and a couple packs of purification tablets and you'll still get away cheaper and lighter.

u/krustyy · 3 pointsr/preppers

There's room in the bags to carry food as well. Everything in the small bucket would last us a few days and there's room to get everything thrown in our bags. The only reason it's not in the bags now is because the lifetime of the food will be reduced if we take it out of the original bucket.

I'm totally getting some of those compressed tissues now. I didn't even know those existed.

The filter I got was this bugger. It had good reviews on Amazon and came with the plastic canteens.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WWQMRFY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Some of the items from the bag were grabbed from around the house. The deoderant is one of them. I'll likely get a smaller, more mildly scented antiperspirant to replace it. Part of the urban survival part may include blending in, which may include not smelling bad. I'm thinking of switching the urban bag over to some kind of duffel with shoulder straps as the hiking backpack (also sourced from around the house) is a bit of an eyesore if walking around a city. Both bags are comfortable and aren't overly heavy for people go go on hikes with much regularity.

As for the knives I've got a real, full tang knife, sheath, and whetstone that I may sharpen up and include in the pack as well if everything is still light with clothes added. I picked up that small knife on Amazon because it was simple and lightweight.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00178CS4K/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The knife and camp axe, btw, are dull as shit. I'm going to take them out and sharpen them this weekend so they could actually be useful if I ever need to use them.

u/crazyguyonabike · 3 pointsr/preppers

Yeah, I agree. Ceradyn is a great option, thanks for bringing it up. For reference, they are available on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Katadyn-Drip-Ceradyn-Water-Filter/dp/B0007U010W/

Actually the Gravidyn is a tiny bit cheaper - this is the one I have:

http://www.amazon.com/Katadyn-Drip-Gravidyn-Water-Filter/dp/B0007U011G/

For anyone who's wondering, yes, the two systems are identical except for the filters that come with. You can put Ceradyn filters in the Gravidyn setup, and vice versa.

The filters are quite delicate, though, and prone to cracking and breakage. You need to inspect them carefully for hairline fractures when you get them. For example, one of the ones in my Gravidyn was broken on arrival. I convinced Amazon to send me a spare one (rather than having to send the whole system back). Also, when I was moving stuff around in one of my storage closets in the garage, I accidentally dropped one of the spare Gravidyn filters on the concrete floor. It was inside its protective cardboard box, but it still broke. I was heartbroken - such a waste of money from a moment's clumsiness. Make sure to treat these things with kid gloves!

For completeness, here are the spare filters - Gravidyn:

http://www.amazon.com/Katadyn-20720-Gravidyn-Replacement-Element/dp/B0007U011Q/

And Ceradyn:

http://www.amazon.com/Katadyn-Ceradyn-Replacement-Filter-Element/dp/B0007U0116/

Hope it's ok posting links like this... I have no stake, not connected with the company at all etc.

The Monolithic filters are also interesting, and they claim to remove arsenic and lead as well. I would be concerned with arsenic in the surface water around here, though it might only be something that is in ground water (i.e. from wells etc). Anyway, these are very simple and cheap too, you can make a bucket filter around one of these little things and have a basic system. I don't know how much formal testing they have had, but they seem to be used a lot in 3rd world countries.

http://www.monolithic.org/water-filters

http://www.monolithicmarketplace.com/collections/frontpage/products/just-water-ceramic-drip-filter

As I said earlier, if I ever have to use the creek water, then I intend for the Monolithic to be the first stage, then treat with calcium hypochlorite (pool shock - 78% TurboShock from Poolife is the best I've found), then treat again with the Katadyn to remove the chlorine and just do another round of filtering in general. I figure I should be covering my bases with this.

http://www.amazon.com/POOLIFE-Poolife-TurboShock-1-lb/dp/B0017SSFU6

And also in case anybody's interested: To treat water with calcium hypochlorite, first make a bleach solution (NOT FOR DRINKING!) by adding a heaped teaspoon to 2 gallons of water. Then you can treat drinking water with this by using 1:100 ratio (i.e. for every 1 part bleach solution, 100 parts water). This should make it obvious that the calcium hypochlorite is pretty concentrated stuff - you shouldn't be trying to treat drinking water directly. First make the solution, then use that to treat the water. For reference, the 1:100 ratio translates into roughly 2.5-3 tablespoons of solution per gallon of drinking water, or 3/4-1 cup to every 5 gallons of water (if you're treating by the bucket). I give a range since it might be easier to measure 3 tablespoons and 1 cup rather than fractions like 2.5 and 3/4, and I think it's probably true that a little over treatment won't do any harm, especially if you are filtering it out anyway. Let the water stand for at least half an hour when treating, the longer the better. Contact time is important for killing the viruses etc.

Also, the pool shock is hard to store safely, since it produces chlorine. Anything metal will get corroded over time. The best method I have found is to use the mason jars with the metal canning lids (the ones that come in two parts). The 1 lb packs of TurboShock fit nicely in a 1/2 gallon jar. I know the lid is metal, but it has a plastic coating on the inside, and those lids are the best sealing I have found. I can put three jars inside a plastic 5 gallon bucket that has been sealed with a Gamma spintop lid. Then I can check on them every few months, and I'll know immediately if the jars have been leaking inside the bucket, because you'll be hit with the chlorine as soon as you open the bucket. I figure if the metal lids start rusting, then I'll just see what their safe lifetime is, and treat them as consumable items. A box of lids is only a few bucks, so replacing them every six months or year or whatever is no big deal. I also wrap the jars inside the bucket in bubble wrap, just so they won't break against each other if things are thrown around during an earthquake. With 3 lbs of the calcium hypochlorite, I'm ready to disinfect a LOT of pond water! Maybe also useful as bartering material in the event of a long term service outage, you never know.

Oh, and one last thing - I got a set of long handled measuring spoons, so that I will be able to reach inside the jars to get the pool shock out without having to tip them up or whatever, risking getting this toxic substance on my skin or in my eyes (big nope).

http://www.amazon.com/ChefLand-Set-Sizes-Stainless-Ingredients/dp/B00AEUR6K8

I know metal isn't good with calcium hypochlorite, but I'm not storing them with the stuff and their contact time will be minimal, and I'll be washing them after each use. I just figure it's useful to try to consider the practicalities of how you will use stuff in reality... also, I'll probably not make 2 gallons, but rather only 1 gallon at a time, which will mean a heaped 1/2 teaspoon of pool shock. And how to store the bleach solution? I found some nice 1 gallon jars with plastic lids for that:

http://www.amazon.com/1-gallon-USDA-Fermentation-Glass-Jar/dp/B006ZRBGSC

The solution should be good for a couple of weeks, I think, if stored in a cool dark place. I guess you could also use it to treat your bucket toilet, so maybe you won't waste much.

Sorry, as you can tell I have thought way too much about this stuff. :P

u/hobbes305 · 3 pointsr/Survival

The syringe is sold as part of the Sawyer Mini Kit. If the cartridge becomes clogged through heavy usage, the syringe allows me to back-flush the filter cartridge with clean water.

u/BackdoorAlex2 · 3 pointsr/vancouver

Here's a good way to store 100,000 gallons in your pocket :P
https://www.amazon.ca/Sawyer-Products-SP105-Filtration-System/dp/B015CM9JNE?th=1

As long as you can find a fresh water source (not chemically contaminated), you can filter it.

Storage isn't actually too bad, I could keep everything except for the large water tank in a large closet. I just separate everything incase something happens to my only storage.

u/TheWiredWorld · 2 pointsr/bugout

I have the Sawyer Gravity Water Filter - 4 liter anti-viral as well as anti-microbial one. Takes longer because it's both viral and bacterial but it is the SHIT. There are reviews out there of people out there that live in Africa and use it and they say it's completely fine. They have the JUST bacterial one that works in like 2 minutes.

u/inhalexsky · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

A LifeStraw for drinking pure water wherever I am in Uganda. It gets rid of 99.(whole bunch of nines)% of bacteria and 99.9% of parasites, and I'd like to avoid those as much as possible. The lifestraw has been ordered, thank goodness. If I could add something, it'd be filters for my water bottle because I really don't want to drink awful water. I'll probably be using a borehole, and collecting rain water so a filtered water bottle is going to be awesome. I'll be in Uganda for 27 months for Peace Corps, so I know I'll go through several filters, especially during the dry season.

u/Leodogg · 2 pointsr/backpacking

Nothing easier than a cnoc 2 liter bag and a sawyer squeeze. Literally fill up the bag, attach it to the filter and squeeze clean water into your bottle or whatever. Total package will set you back less than $50.

No need to carry separate water for cooking. Just use the filtered water.

Not really. I just ordered the family 4 pack. on woot. It's $47.99 on woot! plus $5.00 shipping = $52.99 total versus $69.18 on Amazon. I just saved $16.19, practically the price of a whole other single Mini Water Filtration System by itself on Amazon. I'd say it's a good deal.

u/metarchaeon · 2 pointsr/NCTrails

You can make the trip by kayak from the park office if your adventurous. Its a couple miles across but its so shallow you only need to worry about motor boat traffic in the intercoastal waterway channel.

There is a water spigot near the middle of the island. The say its non-potable but you can use it to wash dishes, etc. and would drink it with a water filter in a pinch, I always bring one of these. I would not plan on camping in the maritime forest, the bugs are horrific.

EDIT: I misread the 4 wheel drive comment. You can take the car ferry to cape lookout (one island north of Shacklefor) and camp, see the park service page

u/crankypants15 · 2 pointsr/Survival

Most gravity filters with a pore size of 0.2 microns. You set it and forget it. Let gravity do the work for you so you can multi-task, or just rest. Get one with a flexible bag and hose for about $85usd and it can roll up nice and compact. MSR Gravity Filter.

When you're starving and exhausted after a long day the last thing I want to do is pump water through a filter.

For backup, boil water or use chemical filtration. But I hear chemical filtration doesn't work so well in lower temps, like below 60F. Like it takes much longer to work, 30-40 minutes or so.

Also, I have not seen studies on how UV works on cysts, which is another thing you have to worry about. You ingest a cyst, the thing hatches, and makes you sick. Giardia won't normally kill you if you drink enough water, but you will wish you were dead. I've had it.


u/genericdude999 · 2 pointsr/bugout

> water filtration for the river water

Your LifeStraw will clog up way too fast, OP. Check out something like this instead.

Cut plenty of firewood ahead of time.

Personally I would bring some #10 cans of Mountain House even if I was planning to hunt or fish. Maybe some multivitamins in case what you're eating is not enough to stay healthy.

Also at least three sleeping bags of different comfort ratings for each person. If you run out of firewood and get really cold, you can unzip and pile on top to stay warm.

Gore-Tex and wool everything, especially for your feet. Cold and wet is the worst.

u/CarrotReaper · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

This was so much fun! Thanks for posting :)

1 [Something Blue](Playshoes 408566 Girl's Rain Coat Blue 5-6 Years https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001PDN1O8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-CR5AbJ14TEGH). In Scotland April Showers don’t just finish in April! At all points of the year we can expect anything from a light drizzle to torrential rain!

2 Something that says summer. Watermelons totally make me think of summer, and sippy cups are perfect to keep bugs out of your drinks in the summer!

3 food related. A carrot sharpener! I saw these in a local store and couldn’t stop laughing at the thought of someone wanting a really sharp carrot.

4 a gift for someone else. My fiancé is obsessed with this album and I recently bought him a record player so I think he would love having it in this format too!

5 book suggestion. So I don’t know what types of books you are into but this is a YA Fantasy. It follows three sisters who were each born with a power. Now that they are of age, they must use their powers to kill their other sisters and become queen! It’s pretty kick ass :)

6 under $1. Okay so I’m from Scotland and I don’t know if this actually works out to be less than $1 but it is less than £1 so I hope that counts!! And they are really cute :)

7 Doggo related. My spaniel loves things like this! And I think it would work for any dog :)

8 useless but awesome. I’d love for my cats to wear this around Christmas!! Although they’d probably break it within a second haha.

9great movie The LOTRs! Great friendships, a lot of laughs and just a fab story. My all time favourite films!

10Zombie attack. I’m going to be the type of person who hides during the apocalypse and hope for the best! So I think if I find somewhere with some water nearby I could kinda camp out for a while!

11 complete goals. My main goal right now is to be more organised, and to do more creative things. I want to have fun and do more hobbies. So I think a diary where I can be creative and plan all my spare time would be great!

12 add on. WHY ARE PENS ALWAYS ADD ONS????!!!!

13 fandom. This would match my Alice tattoo! And who doesn’t need a purse :)

14 super expensive Jesus!! Who knew you could buy such expensive rings on amazon??

15 sharks or unicorns. Shark cat bed! I can only imagine how my two would react this this haha!

16 wonderful smell. I love this candle! Probably my favourite smell ever!

17 cool toy. I couldn’t find the game I always wanted as a kid, mostly because I couldn’t really remember what it was called! Although here is a Jared Funko pop that I’ve been eyeing up for months!

18 helpful for writers. I thought this was kinda cool. It gives tips on how to get out of writers block as well as mix up characters!

19 current obsession. Musicals are my currently my favourite obsession (see what I did their RHPS fans?)!

20 weird!. I’m just really not sure why these would ever be needed but at the same time I really want a pair haha!

u/seanapster · 2 pointsr/backpacking

I use the older Katadyn pump. It does not have the multi flow feature, but I've never found the need for it. It does have an attachment for filling water bottles, but you can also insert the hose to fill your camelbak. It's on sale at Amazon right now: http://www.amazon.com/Katadyn-Hiker-PRO-Water-Microfilter/dp/B0007U012U/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1333465165&sr=8-3

I ended up getting this monster:

https://www.probikekit.ca/cycling-accessories-nc/topeak-wedge-drybag-qr-saddlebag-large/11075951.html

I can fit my repair kit, and a full-on bag lunch in there.

I also only have 1 bottle as I carry a road morph pump on the other bracket. So for water I carry one of these (also in the saddle bag)

I'm lucky in that i have a lot of rivers and streams around me to fill my bottle from. I've done rides up to 8 hours with just that saddle bag full of food and the water filter.

I put a few snacks in my pockets to nibble on while moving as well.

Thank you for all the advice.
I consulted my friends in Africa and I am getting them this for their school

You're kit includes excessive water and that is heavy. It also doesn't have a means to filter more water than what you bring. Why not instead bring 4 lifestraws or a 2 bag nanofilter system or sawyer mylar filter?

  • Lifestraw
  • Sawyer squeeze filters
  • Two bag gravity nanofilter

    I've spent 2+ months outside on a trail carrying up to 4L of water at a time, and hiked over 2000 miles in the mountains and plains on both coasts. You don't need to carry more than that (1 gal) unless you are in the desert or an arid place and walking over 12mi with no water. Water is everywhere, you just need to have technology to filter it properly. The things I linked to above are ultralight and allow you to store up and move quickly. But keep in mind the best place to store water however is inside your own body (cameling up).

If you need 12lt per day I would be going something bigger like a Platypus 3lt Gravity filter (or two...) Or buying a Sawyer Squeeze for each person... so they could do their own.

This gives redundancy too.

Why do you want that? Just use these bags, screw on the filter, and squeeze filtered water into your stainless steel water bottle.

Sawyer Squeeze + Evernew Bladder

  1. Relatively light, not the lightest option on the market
  2. Very durable and reliable. Backflush in the field for renewed life.
  3. 1 or 2 hikers only, not groups
  4. Relatively fast, not instant

    As you see - there are always trade-offs for every gear choice. It all depends on your needs. The big categories tend to be chemicals (like AquaMira), filters (like Sawyer Squeeze/Mini or Katadyn BeFree), and UV (like SteriPen). Group requirements end up being a separate category - which gravity setups are peopular for (like Platypus GravityWorks).

Ok.

I have one of these in the civilization's collapsing kit: https://www.amazon.com/Katadyn-Technology-Microfilter-Backpacking-Preparedness/dp/B000KUVVY4

But maybe a couple of these https://www.amazon.com/LifeStraw-Personal-Water-Filter/dp/B072BC51LT/ for just in case.

Here are some books and a couple by Dr Stanislav Grof. Hes very well studied and well spoken dealing with the mind, emotions and basically everything that has to do with our Being. If ur wife enjoys psychology at all then she'll find Grof interesting i imagine. im also guessing that people from the rainbow gathering have heard about him or have read some of his stuff since it attracts those minds sometimes. he definitely has some far out ideas, but if u start to think about what he says and do ur own reasearch and/or experiments some of it might start to make sense or click.

Here are the Darn Tough socks and they are more expensive than i remember. Still worth it to buy at least one pair though since u can mail them back for a brand new pair whenever!

Here is the Pilot G2 pen. and id suggest getting the 20 count of them since its ten dollars more and u get 20 pens instead of 1 lol. plus a bunch of fun colors, although it might be a hassle to carry all those around.
