The Best Water Bottle for Hikers and Campers

Life in Canada for many, especially out west, means lots of time spent outdoors. Camping, hiking and fishing are staples for many of us in Canada.

One of the more difficult things to carry with you during your summer-time outdoor activities is water. Water is not light! Each liter weights 2.2 lbs! When you consider that you should be drinking half of your body weight (lbs) in ounces of water, most people should be drinking at least 2-3 liters per day. This should be increased even more when you are sweating and being active i.e. Camping and hiking.

To carry enough water can be difficult, and unless you are near a potable water source at a campground, it can be near impossible.

One of the best investments you can make is to have some sort of portable water filter system that is both easy to carry around and effective at removing various contaminants in the water.

Berkey Sport Bottle fills these needs perfectly. It is light and easy to carry, extremely effective at removing bacteria, parasites, cysts, fungus and viruses (the most important consideration when camping) as well as other contaminants like oils, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, pesticides and herbicides (important in the prairies and farmland regions), unpleasant tastes and odours, and more.

While there are many options out there for portable travel water bottle filters, we believe (and we recognize our bias!) Berkey Sport Bottle is the ideal product for effectiveness, durability, longevity, and portability for those who love the outdoors.
