Bomb Proof
By Hamish Richardson
Ranked #289 - Water Filters
June 8, 2010
Bomb Proof on it's own for everyday domestic back country trips - and Da Bom when used with a SteriPen when you're in a far flung corner of the globe and the water is bound to have "living organisms".
Use a coffee filter with a rubber band to draw the water through into the Katadyn, then UV treat the filtered water with a Steri-Pen. You can't go wrong.
