Lightweight, TechCamping

By Young Suh Ranked #115 - Trail Running Hydration November 8, 2008

My buddy's filter element froze up when we when camping out in a 10-degree Sierras weather. My Steripen kept working like a champ. I'm not sure that the instructions are correct though, it doesn't like to start in the water when I hit the button. I could only get a full cycle indication if I had it completely out of the water before I hit the button. Also, doesn't take debris or taste out of the water, just purifies it so you can drink it. Because its a purifier, not a debrisafier or tastefier. My only wish is that they could make the compact version, and still be able to use AA batteries. All in all, this is one of the first things in my pack when I head out.
