group camp champ

I took a group of 10 boys into the Sierras for a 3 day trip. Most of the boys had not had any previous camping experience so I knew we were going to use a lot of water. The MIOX worked very well for making large quantities of water in preparation for cooking and setting up for small hikes. The one side effect that I ran into was the taste of chlorine that would build up in the bottle after approx 5 refills. This is not a problem for cooking because it boils off real fast. On the second trip we used the MIOX for all of the cooking and cleaning water and alternated MIOX and ceramic filtering for drinking water. The combination worked very well. The MIOX works great as long as you plan ahead. The ceramic filter is better if you want a small amount of water quickly. I will be using this filter from now on whenever I go out with a group of 3 or more. It is small, durable and can purify as much water as you have storage for.
