Katadyn Basecamp
The base camp in action.
Although we typically take a small cooler with us with about 3-5 liters of frozen water bottles when paddling single bodies of water (that would be trips without portages) the ice water serves as a cooler for our lunch and we end up drinking the melted water. During mid summer this is really nice to have ice cold water on the second or even 3rd day of a paddling trip. However, we still need to filter or boil a few liters on any given weekend. For that reason Aim really loves the Katadyn Basecamp.
No more 40 strokes per liter, just fill the bag up and hang. Either let it drain into a big camp jug, or fill bottles/pots individually as needed. When new and working well the Basecamp filters a liter in about 2-3 minutes. Not blazing fast, but perfect for, well, basecamps and large groups!
Of note, my first basecamp just randomly stopped working after maybe 30 liters of filtering clean water, way too soon. So I wouldn't trust this filter for trips as a solo form of filtration. I would pair it with a secondary hand pump.
And no, I'm not a fan of things like chemical filtration or worse, those gimmicky SteriPens. The reason is that if you are filtering water you won't always have a crystal clear source. While I don't look to filter out of mud puddles or swamps, sometimes you have no choice. A mechanical pump is still best for these situations, and least likely to fail. Being potable doesn't just mean it's safe to drink, it also means you WANT to drink it. Even if I can make a mud puddle SAFE to drink, it doesn't mean I will drink it.
