I thought most carried bleach for this purpose. Its the only water purification I've actually used. 2 drops in a canteen, carried in your cheap orange whistle/compass combo. My wife showed me this with Girl Scouts training they received and we've used this ever since.
Then I watched these vids:
Carries no water purification at all in brand new Maxpedition zip pack. I guess he forgot he might need to drink water at some point.
I saw pillcase on his caribiner. Figured he had bleach there. Nope. Fish hooks and cotton balls.
Finally,
5:30 discusses why you should not use tablets to purify. in sum, too expensive, and works too slow. 7:05 discusses bleach! yes, finally a survivalist who was a Boy Scout. 2 drops is safe in a one quart canteen.
Store it in an orange whistle/compass screw on cap. Giardia on a camping trip sucks.
This fella prefers Liquid iodine. Good vid. Looks like he actually used his gear. Its not in plastic or a little bag, looks burnt. I like the netting, beats a sock. Smart tip on sanitizing threads.
Caveman wood chopping. Really smart kid. Boiling water best choice.
