Clean water, an excelent investment :)

The best $200 I ever invested! Really, we put this baby to the test in some nasty looking water on our 4-day backpacking trip and it performed wonderfully. I'm only giving one word of warning here; you will notice a slight filtered taste to the water, but nothing that is not worth drinking. Never got sick off the water, thanks to this little baby. It's fairly lightweight too which is a real plus. Buy this one if you don't want to worry about what you're drinking on your next trip.
