Water

Being prepared with an adequate supply of water is absolutely essential. Whether you’re hiking through rugged terrain, setting up camp in a remote location, or reacting to an unexpected change in situation, staying hydrated is crucial for your health and safety.

While natural water sources like streams, rivers, or lakes may seem tempting, they can also contain harmful bacteria, parasites, and other contaminants that can make you sick if ingested untreated. This is where proper water filtration or purification methods come into play allowing you to quench your thirst without risking your health.
