Water treatment options
Don't drink the water!
At least untreated, that is. Here are some ways to treat found water.**
The top red is just a metal water bottle -- you can bring tap water with you
On the left is a filter bottle with iodine -- great and convient, but yucky taste
In the blue bag is a 'first need' water filter
the tiny bottle is iodine tablets -- add them and wait 30 minutes -- also has a bad taste
on the right is a platypus foldable bottle.
the little silver dot is a quarter, for scale
the mug is a sierra cup, in case you wanted to treat ( boil) small amounts of water.
( it is possible, just really slow.)
I'm considering offering a class just on finding/ treating water.
( ** Any water found in the wild is questionable and you should treat it.)
