Travel Filters
There are many kinds of travel filters available in the camping supply
stores.
Following are the basic ways to sterilize your water when on a trip:
-
filter out the bacteria and parasites with a compressed carbon block or
a ceramic filter
-
add a chemical that will kill the harmful organisms
-
boil or distill the water
