Gotta Have It, Winter 2021 Edition
Ok, boys and girls, here’s my roundup of things you’ve just gotta have, or maybe want to have, for your LTV. I usually publish these once yearly (see my roundups for 2018 and 2019), but there are so many now that I may be doing this twice annually.
Many of the items listed are pretty common sense. Some I’ve tried, and some just look cool enough to warrant laying your credit card on ’em. Here we go.
Filtered Drinking Water On-the-Go
I’ve done this only once – forgotten my water bottle, that is – when in the outdoors, and I suffered for it in the mountains when you’ve simply got to drink water all day or risk heat exhaustion or worse. Here’s one solution that doesn’t involve plastic bottles in a landfill.
It’s the Micro Squeeze Water Filtration System from Sawyer, which is now permanently in our LTV. It’s rated to purify up to 100,000 gallons and comes with a reusable squeeze pouch. It filters down to 0.1 microns, so even giardia is eliminated. And, it’s all reusable. Simply backwash it with the included equipment and there are no expensive cartridges to replace. I sure wish I’d brought mine along on the Colorado River last summer.
Where to Buy: Sawyer or in stores at REI, Cabela’s, Walmart and others
