Speaking of water, if you don’t want to follow the above advice and bring extra water, at least keep a water filter on hand in case of emergencies.

I use the Grayl GeoPress, which is a water bottle with a native filter inside. On shorter backpacking trips, I’ve used the Grayl as my primary water container, scooping up water from various natural sources along the route.

Grayl claims that the GeoPress is capable of removing common viral and bacterial pathogens, including hepatitis A, norovirus, rotavirus), E. coli, salmonella and shigella, as well as protozoan cysts including amoebae, cryptosporidia and giardia. I’ve never once been sick after using the Grayl GeoPress, so I believe it. It also removes any sediment in the water.

This style of water filter is “passive,” meaning you barely have to do any work. The bottle holds 24 ounces of water, and the filter can purify those 24 ounces in just eight seconds. You can then drink right out of the bottle, or pour the filtered water into a bigger container if you’re trying to collect more.

You can buy replacement filters separately; it’s recommended to change the filter after 65 gallons of water have been filtered through it.

It’s also not a bad idea to keep some water purification tablets in your RV. I always bring iodine tablets when I’m headed out for a camping trip.
