Field Water Purification Kit

April 14, 2017 by Scott Witner 5 Comments

Field Water Purification Kit

Having the ability to purify water when in the field can be a lifesaver. If you drink unsafe water and have a negative reaction to it, you could experience vomiting and diarrhea, which in turn leads to dehydration and eventually death. Your best course of action is to not get sick off the water to begin with. Most everybody in the survival and military community have heard of the rule of threes. Well, I kinda use that philosophy when it comes to making my water safe to drink, too—I always like to have three ways to purify my water to make it safe to drink. You need clean water in order to stay hydrated, to cook with, and for hygiene.

Here is a quick look at the items I have settled on after trying different techniques and products for when I go out into the field.

Boiling – Having a container to boil water in is the safest and only 100% way to purify water of contaminants.

Water Purification Tabs – I keep two of these duct taped to the side of my canteen – a trick I learned in the military. That way you always know where they are.

These Aquamira Military Water Tablets are used by simply dropping one tablet into one liter of water and waiting the required time. These water purifier tablets contain a patented chlorine dioxide formula that produces a powerful germicidal agent when released in water. These water disinfectant tablets, when used as directed, meet the EPA guidelines for microbiological water purifiers. The Aquamira 67506 is the safest solution on the market.

The Aquamira 67405 specifications:

  • Patented chlorine dioxide formula
  • Meets EPA guidlines for microbiological water purifiers (when used as directed)
  • Powerful germicidal agent
  • Will not discolor water
  • Actually improves the taste of treated water
  • 10 pack (Military)
