I've recently taken up hiking in the beautiful Catskills, and I'm really happy to have this to add to my pack.

Now, I'm a day-hiker at the moment, but i had an experience awhile back (on a first date, no less) where I stumbled, fell, and hit my head on a rock hard enough to call for stitches when i eventually ended up in the hospital ER. What struck me (besides the rock) was that my date, a so called really experienced hiker, didn't have ONE thing in his pack that might have been useful if I had not been able to get up and walk out (and I was pretty stunned... a little harder and I would have been stuck there while he went for help). So once I decided to seriously take up hiking, I figured I better start to collect some basic items to keep with me in case of emergency. And when I got the opportunity to review this item, I jumped at it.

The most important thing to have when you hike is water. But you can't tell whether the water you find is potable or not, even if it *looks* clean. And when you are lost that could be a fatal

mistake. Carrying one of these little gadgets can be the difference between hiking out or not, especially on a hot day.

And then there's those times that a storm comes through and knocks out all the electric in your area. It's not unheard up for some areas to be without power for at least a week, and even for some people to have no way to get out (thanks to downed trees) for days or weeks. So keeping one of these in your home could make the wait to be rescued easier if you haven't managed to get to the store beforehand to stock up.

this filter is lightweight, easy to pack, and chemical free. And with a 396 gallon filtration capability, it should last most people

as long as they need to get rescued.

I received this in exchange for a fair and honest review... all opinions are my own.
