Camping Water: How to get it Right<\/h2>\n

At best, camping can be idyllic: you get in touch with nature, spend time with loved ones and explore new places. At worst, it can be a nightmare, a disappointing holiday spent cold, sick, covered in bites and squabbling with all your equally miserable companions. So when you go camping, it\u2019s important to get it right.<\/p>\n

First, decide what kind of camper you are. If you like your creature comforts, you\u2019re best off finding somewhere you can park the car. This way, you can bring all the camping equipment you like and you don\u2019t have to carry it all.<\/p>\n

Hiking provides a feeling and sense of connection with nature. <\/b><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re feeling adventurous, try hiking to your campsite, you\u2019ll need to select your camping equipment very carefully. When you\u2019re carrying everything with you, every gram makes a difference. Become a minimalist, only take the least as possible, and make sure your camping equipment is as light as possible.<\/p>\n

Natural sources like lakes and waterholes are almost never safe sources for camping water. However, trying to carry all your camping water is effective and extremely hard work, so you\u2019ll need some method of water purification.<\/p>\n

There are several ways to ensure safe camping water.<\/p>\n

Hiking has the highest participation growth rate for any outdoor activity.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The traditional method is to boil all your camping water in a billy on a fire or an electric stove. This is relatively safe, but it can be unreliable. Boiling restricts you to small amounts, is quite slow and often leaves you having to drink hot water on a hot day. You also need to consider how necessary it is to carry extra camping equipment to use an electric stove or a billy and what will happen if you can\u2019t make a fire.<\/p>\n

Another popular method for camping water is to take water purification tablets with you. Water purification tablets use chemicals like iodine to kill bacteria .<\/p>\n

On the good side, the tablets are cheap and quicker than boiling your camping water.\u00a0 However, many fail to kill off harmful protozoa like giardia and cryptosporidium, and they often make the water taste terrible and may not kill hard shell cycsts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The best option really is to invest in a water purification bottle or straw.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re inexpensive, convenient and offer peace of mind. You don\u2019t have to carry more camping water than you need and you can be certain you aren\u2019t going to compromise your health and end up having a nightmarish camping experience.<\/p>\n
