Camping / survival filters are essential for anyone that likes to be ready to survive an emergency. Or anyone that simply likes camping and trekking the outdoors.
Water is one of the most critical aspects of emergency preparedness. This is because you can survive around 3 weeks without food but only last approximately 3 days without water. As you can imagine, it can be incredibly difficult to access clean water in any sort of disaster situation.
