The Best Water Filters and Purifiers for Backpacking of 2020 from Treeline Review
WE RESEARCHED THE BEST WATER FILTERS AND AGGREGATED THAT DATA. HERE'S OUR FINDINGS.
After checking dozens of review sites and hundreds of customer reviews - and considering our own experiences - we put together a list of stand-out water filters for backpacking. If you’re hiking solo or on a trip where each person takes care of their own water, we think the Sawyer Squeeze has the speed-to-weight ratio that works best for most folks. Got a group to care for? We like the Platypus GravityWorks, which can filter four liters in four minutes with minimal fuss. For removing viruses, the upgrade-pick MSR Guardian filters out viruses and cleans itself with the press of a hand-pump.

Depending on where you travel, you may want to pack bug spray, too. In places like Florida and North Carolina, summers get buggy, and you’ll be happy to have packed a spray on nights when you want to sit on the porch or dine outdoors.
MEDIA MENTIONS
As a veteran of the Iraq War, I found myself struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder from which greatly impacted my mental health. In 2016, I came across the film “Wild,” an adaptation of Cheryl Strayed’s memoir about healing by hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT).
MEDIA MENTIONS
Sawyer Permethrin Premium Insect Repellent is used on clothing, not skin, and it provides long-lasting protection against ticks.
