Can't seem to find any NSF certification for labeling as a purifier.
Why do you need a filter when camping😂
It depends on where you camp. If you’re car camping and you go to a place that has potable water or you bring all of your water. You don’t need one. If you have a smaller vehicle and don’t have the space to carry enough water and you go to a place that doesn’t provide potable water, a filter is a great way to make sure that you have access to water. I mostly use them when I am backpacking.
Seeing a lot of reviews on the pump failing after 5 or so uses. I myself have been using the first need water filter for 7 years and it has never failed. The first need water filter is made in USA and the containers that filer are metal. I think I will stick with the first need water filter
This is meant to be a budget-friendly option. I have had this for a year, and it has been solid. I will check out the First Need Water Filter. Thanks!
I just looked at the filter you recommended, and it seems solid. It would be great for camping but looks too bulky and heavy for the average backpacker. Thank You!
@@BackpackingGearNut :) Depends how valuable you consider your water. I have videos where I run food dye thru it. With how crazy the world is getting I want to know my water is perfect. How often do they find a dead body in a water supply that was there for weeks. Using a sawyer or something else like that would not be good. Ever heard of this sleeping bag Western Mountaineering Bristlecone MF Go look that up. I also run this the best in the world.
You just have to ask yourself is it worth the weight? If you want to run a 10lb pack then in my view your just taking to many chances with a sawyer after all it only takes that 1 time.
How about this......
Naegleria fowleri is an ameba (type of one-celled organism) that thrives in warm freshwater lakes, rivers, and hot springs. It is often called the "brain-eating ameba" because it can infect the brain and destroy brain tissue. Brain infections caused by Naegleria fowleri are very rare but nearly always fatal.
In TN where I hike this happens every year. Someone dies of this. I put importance on items not weight. Water is number 1 and I want to be as perfect as possible. Also depends on the season. In winter the same applies I want the best heat I can get. Now you take my pot set which weighs 3 lbs. People would go crazy. LOL But I can steam and cook anything. I rarely take freeze dried meals they are just not good for you. Now my 2 man tent is a dan durston at 2lbs. My total pack weight is 30lbs. Even with these so called heavy items.
Some of my items are heavy and others are super light. Now a trick I use is moving items around the body. For example My water sits on my hip where you feel no weight at all. I wear 2 drop downs. The one on my right hip carries my firearm. The one on my left hip I carry my knife and silky saw. So now when I remove my pack these items stay with me all the time. Search my channel for Silky Professional Gomboy Case and you will see what I mean.
Has taken me years to get this dialed in so I can carry what I want and it does not feel like it. If you buy that first need you will not use anything else I promise.
For me it looks perfect to take family camping. Been using a sawyer with a big bladder and hanging it so this other option sounds way better!
The Sawyer doesn’t have a charcoal filter in it so this filter Would help you eliminate any bad taste. I usually filter out of streams when I can so that I can get the cleanest and best tasting water when I carry the Sawyer. But as you could see in the video, there are certain parts of California that don’t have a lot of water and sometimes you just have to thank God for the puddle that you just found And filter that.
I’m also testing several other filters. It’s the nature of the channel for me to keep trying new products. Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoy the content!
