Water & Camp Hygiene

Confirm where drinking water is available and how wastewater must be handled before choosing gear. Divide the trip into drinking and cooking, personal washing, and dish cleanup, then measure representative use at home. Select containers you can lift when filled, with a practical dispensing method and room to clean and dry them. Choose treatment for documented source risks, keep untreated and treated components separate, and retain an alternative if a filter freezes, breaks, or cannot address the contamination present.
