    Steripen

    Anyone use one?

    Been thinking about getting one, I like my water when hunting
    Went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.

    Yup I use one I've had it since September 2016 and I haven't died yet from some horrible disease.

    Get a Sawyer Mini water filter instead. Screw it onto a pump bottle or Coke bottle, or fit it in-line on a hydration bladder. Fill vessel with dirty water, drink. No need to wait for a steripen to do its magic.

    yep I use a life straw
    basically fill a bottle or cup from wherever and suck out of it.

    Theres a few options for these now, depends on how much useability and functionality you need. Have a google on hiking or camping water purification options.
    Also you could just drop in an iodine tab.

    Massdrop have them fairly regularly. They don't have them right now but it has come up two or three times since I have been subscribed.

    I plan to pick up one at some point in the future. Haven't done the research to see how much cheaper than H&F massdrop is.

    Went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.

    I have a Sawyer Mini like stretch. No batteries, works instantly and lasts forever. (Well 100,000 gallons...) And they're light and small.

    Highly recommend it.
