Dutch prepper says he has a filtration and purification kit that can adapt to all the water sources around him.

Dometic’s portable 11-liter Go water jug ($ 69.99 ) and rechargeable Go Hydration Water Faucet ($ 99.99 ). Dirty water goes in and clean water comes out with a double-tap on the faucet.

Filtration is fine for removing biological pathogens commonly found in North America and Europe .

MSR ’s $ 129.95 gravity bundle includes everything you need to filter lots of water for multiple people.

The idea is to hang the bag high in a tree and wait for all the dirty water to flow down into the Go jug through the cartridge for purification and / or filtration.

The LifeStraw and MSR filters can be used to extract water directly from a stream, jerry can, barrel, puddle... whatever — just dangle the backside water tube into the source.

The Verge's water filtration kit can't handle water polluted by chemicals or toxins.

It requires regular care to avoid cross-contamination and to stop mold and bacteria from growing inside the system when not in use.

Any tips from the big brains braaaaaains of The Verge readers are welcome.
