What is a good water filter upgrade from the katadyn hiker? Was out on a hiking trip today doing some videos and taking pictures for reviews. Stopped for lunch next to a creek. Got out my katadyn hiker and was filtering water from a creek. I thought to myself, there must be something faster...

Im looking to get some lightweight portable water purifier straws/filters. I came across a decent deal on some here and was wondering if anyone has used them or something similar? Do they work pretty well? I live in the rocky mountains so they would be mainly used in running river water up here...

I was looking at this water filter pump on ebay, and was looking to see what more experienced folks thoughts were on this pump. Good/bad. Is it a good one to buy? Here is the link...

Just curious as to if the MSR Miniworks EX will work with camelback hydration bladders or if they only work with MSR versions (ie dromedary and hydromedary).

This is a review of the Aquamira Frontier Pro Water Filter from ReadyPro.org . First impressions - this is a pretty cool filter. Its light weight, compact, easy to use and no moving parts. There are no moving parts like a pump or handle to stop working or break. Unlike a regular filter...

I searched but could not find a thread on this (although I am sure it was covered) so sorry but... What's the best portable water filter under $150 for backpacking and short term survival use? Thanks!

Well I've been looking for a good water filter for me to put into my BOB and also for use when camping and such. I've pretty much narrowed it down between the Katadyn Hiker Pro and the MSR Miniworks EX water filters, which from what I've read are both very good filters. Please give your advice...

hey everyone! I was wondering what type of water filter I should purchase.I want a small, portable, reliable one and was thinking of the Katadyn Hiker water filter but all the reviews I've seen about it aren't so good... Thanks for your time! RugerDude
