Take a Water Filter Camping For Your safety
For your own safety, you need to take a water filter camping, especially if you’re headed out into the back country. It’s funny that it’s so foremost for us to have water when we camp, for cooking and drinking etc, yet at the same time it can pose a necessary risk to us. Having some kind of filter or tablet to treat your water can be a step in the right direction to help keep you healthy on your journey.
It’s natural to think when you get deep into the woods where the lakes seldom see a person that the water wouldn’t be a problem. Why would it after all? It’s beautiful…. But there can be all kinds of problems lurking in the water you’re about to drink, from protozoa, to crypto sporidium, guardia, and others.
Tablet
The real question lurking in the waters of most lakes and rivers (as they enumerate to campers and hikers) is the waste generated by animals. On rivers especially you can run into problems with these contaminants. Beavers for example build their lodges in rivers and pollute the water with their waste. This can be a huge hazard to citizen because humans can contract what is known as “Beaver Fever”. This is a nasty limited inconvenience that has been known to lay citizen up for up to six months. I’ve never experienced it myself but two citizen that are close to me have and both have assured me that it was one of the worst things they’ve ever been through. One equated it to being the same as having the flu for six months. One is not even sure where they contracted it.
One thing is determined though. If you’re camping along lakes and rivers, you run a risk of catching it from the water around you. This is remedied by treating the water either with some kind of iodine tablet, or with a water filter of some description.
I’ve used both and prefer the filter formula and here’s why. When you fill a container with water from a lake or most rivers in North America, you’ll consideration there’s often a yellowish tinge to the colour of the water. Drop in a incorporate of tablets and wait for a few minutes and presto… You have drinking water. The only thing is that the water doesn’t look any different. Sure it’s supposed to be safe, but how do you for real know?
On the other hand, using a water filter helps remove even the yellowish colour from the water. In my own mind (and strictly my own opinion) the water seems to be safer. I know that my Msr water filter will filter down to.03 Microns and I can see as well that the water even looks cleaner so I have no reservations whatsoever about drinking it or using it to cook.
I’m not saying don’t use tablets. In fact quite the opposite, as long as you are using either iodine tablets or a camping water filter of some kind to protect yourself from the pollutants in the water, you’re doing the right thing. They’re cheap assurance for your prolonged good condition and that helps to make your camping palpate more enjoyable overall.
