A friend and I will be backpacking through Kentucky this summer on a month long trip through the Boone National Forest. Will this work for us just fine or should we had anything else to ensure good, clean drinking water?

1rst remember to stop by the natural bridge....near the red river in the northern part of the Forrest, its cool.... I'm a 10th generation Kentuckian... one of the few. its a amazing place. 2nd if you want to learn more water quality levels there look at www.kwalliance.org, that's the Kentucky Waterways Alliance. they will tell you what to expect.... so you can ask the right questions when picking out a filter. i'm doing the same, but for the coal regions of the state.

Jeff, of course, is correct. But It never hurts to carry iodine tablets or be certain you have a method of boiling your water in the worst case scenario of a filter failure.

A lot of water in that region comes from limestone springs. Ahhh, Bourbon country. As pure as that sounds, the water still needs to be filtered & the Katadyn Vario will perform admirably!
