I first used Water Purification Tablets like these 40 years go. Yes, I feel old. When I was younger I did a lot of hiking on the Appalachian Trail and it wasn’t possible to carry a weekend’s worth, much less a week’s worth of water. That mean refilling canteens from streams and springs. I’ve seen what happens to people who don’t use Purification Tablets while camping, and when overseas. A buddy thought I was being paranoid when I would use these Purification Tablets on bottled water in India. Water we were buying from roadside stands and vendors while exploring the country. I suspected they would refill the bottles and put new caps on them. I opened them and threw a Purification Tablet in each. My buddy didn’t. That resulted in us having to stop so he could squat every half hour on the drive back? It was a very long six hour drive back to our hotel.
I keep a bottle of these Purification Tablets in my Medical Pouch as well as with my Camping Gear. Clean Water is critical for survival. That means having a multi layered strategy to make sure you have the Water you need to drink and cook with.
Plan for the worst. It’s really hard to fight for survival if your clenching your cheeks together because of diarrhea.
