Bacteria: Your Invisible Enemy

How can we ensure that the water we consume fresh from the wilderness isn’t packed with harmful contaminants travelling downstream?
Great adventurers, survivalists and soldiers alike have perished in the grasp of this deadly enemy. 

Thoroughly cooking food kills bacteria; this we know. We do it everyday...

But what about water? 


How can we ensure that the water we consume fresh from the wilderness isn’t packed with harmful contaminants travelling downstream? 


In a genuine survival situation, like a plane crash, kidnapping or worse and you literally have nothing, water can be filtered through mud. This is only partly effective and should never be done if alternative options are present. 


There are only 2 real ways to ensure that water is completely safe to drink every time...


Boiling it. Age old trick, we’ve been doing it for millennia. 
Puritii. The 21st Century solution.


For your recreational survival trips, grab yourself a Puritii bottle. I couldn’t recommend it more. Here’s why...

It’s lightweight, durable, has cheap to replace filters and removes 99.9% of harmful contaminants like bacteria, viruses and protozoa which could be lurking in your stream water. 

It saves SO much time too when compared to boiling... and cooling. 


Stay sharp, stay safe.
