I have no idea what the hell you just said.

korz, portable water filtration kits/systems for when you need to drink water from questionable sources such as streams, lakes, ponds, puddles, etc. filters out things that can make you ill, or worse...

I don't carry any spare water in vehicle and figure this is another option.

YouTube berkey or sawyer water filters for some reviews. life straw in another popular one.

I don't have any sort of water filtration now because I just haven't been camping in quite a while, and I've gotten complacent with emergency supplies. I've used them in the past when I did a lot of hiking years (decades) ago. I used to do 3-5 day hikes where I was packing a 60 lbs pack for 6-10 miles a day. This is the Pacific Northwest, go hiking and you'll find a stream every few miles. No way was I carrying gallons of water. I had a pump type one for quickly filling pots to cook with or make coffee, worked basically like a fluid transfer pump but with a filter. For walking water I'd just dip my water bottle in the stream to fill it and drink through a filtered straw.

i think most quality ones do. i'll take a pic of spec sheet on my berkey when i get home. it's like a page of crap; absolutely amazing. i think i want to get another one so i have a pair in car. what sets berkey aside from some of the other makers is that they filter out chemicals too.

lulz, a summer of reading shtf/zombie books and it gets me thinking about all this crap like prybars and water filters... i need and old 4x4 bronco now.

Outstanding. As long as there is chemical war, you are all good

Selenium is a poison, and there are 20% residual... Make sure not to drink out of known source

Seriously, it is very high filtration capability. Thanks for the share

maybe you'll get lucky and find an aftermarket hood mount for the new ride.
