How we FILTER our water HIKING (Ep. 23)

We demonstrate how we filter our water when we are out on our long hikes.

This is more of a demonstration of the two types of water filters we use over a gear review video. If you would like to know more of our thoughts, pros and/or cons, please let us know 🙂

Filter 1: GRAYL GEOPRESS

From their website: GEOPRESS removes global waterborne pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and protozoan cysts while filtering pesticides, chemicals, heavy metals, and even microplastics from your water.
