Take Your Water Filter Camping And Be Safe

For your own safety, you need to take a water fliter camping, especially if you thinkthat you'llheaded out into the back country. It's funny that it's so important for us to have water when we camp, for cooking and drinking etc, yet at the same time it can pose a considerable risk to us. Having some kind of filter or tablet to treat your water can be a step in the right direction to help keep you healthy on your journey.

It's really quite natural to think that when you get deep into the woods where the lakes seldom see a person that the water shouldn't be a problem. Why would it after all? It's beautiful. But there can be and really areall kinds of problems lurking in the water you're about to drink , from protozoa, to crypto sporidium, guardia, and others.

The real problem lurking in the waters of most lakes and rivers (as they relate to campers and hikers) is the waste that is generated by animals. On rivers especially you can run into problems with these contaminants. we all know that beavers for example build their lodges in rivers and from there they pollute the water with their waste. This is actually a huge hazard to people because humans can contract what is known as "Beaver Fever". Thisnasty little inconvenience has been known to lay people up sick for up to six months. I've never experienced it myself but two people that are veryclose to me have and both have assured me that it was one of the worst things they've ever been through, if not the worst.One equated it to being the same as having the flu for six months.The otheris not even sure where they contracted it.

There is no doubt about one thing however,if you're camping along lakes and rivers, you run a very real risk of catchingsomething from the water around you. Most likely something like "Beaver Fever".This is remedied by treating the water either with some kind of iodine tablet, or with a water filter of some description.

I've used both methodsand from my experience prefer the filter method and here's why. When you fill a container with water from a lake or most rivers in North America, you'll notice there's often a yellowish tinge to the colour of the water. You can drop in a couple of tablets and wait for a few minutes and presto You have drinking water. The only thing (that I find unsettling) is that the water doesn't look any different than it did before. Sure it's supposed to be safe, but how do you really know?

On the other hand,the use of awater filter will help toremove even the yellowish colour from the water. In my own mind (and strictly my own opinion) the water just seems to be safer. I know that my water filter will filter out bacteria down to the size of.03 Microns and I can see as well that the water even looks cleaner so I have no reservations whatsoever about drinking it or using it to cook.

I'm not saying don't use tablets. In fact quite the opposite, as long as you are using either iodine tablets or a camping water filter of some kind to protect yourself from the pollutants in the water, you're doing the right thing. They're cheap insurance for your continued good health and that helps to make your camping experience more enjoyable overall.
