My Super Expensive/Overkill favorite purifier of all time, the MSR Guardian is great for backpacking in heavily contaminated areas or places with super silty/dirty water: https://bit.ly/3OedEwv

Update: After making this video I used Lifestraw's new 1L Peak Squeeze filter, which is very comparable to the BeFree, but has a more robust water bag and faster flow rate, and is less expensive. Check it out here: https://bit.ly/3tNDfE3

Looking for the right backpacking water filtration or purification system? Here I breakdown five of the most common or popular water treatment solutions for under $100. Note: Purification and filtration are slightly different. Purifiers, such as the RapidPure and the Grayl here, can remove ultra-small viruses. Filters do not. Filters remove bacteria, protozoa, and non-virus contaminants.
