[QUOTE="ndbwhunter, post: 113161, member: 1288"] Do you know what the water sources are like in the areas you'll be hunting? I usually carry 2-3 different options for water purification. Last year I carried a katadyn hiker pro, sawyer mini, and MSR tablets. The Katadyn pumps are nice and will work just about anywhere, but can be a pain in the ass if you're just making a quick stop to fill one bladder. If you need to get water from a wallow, these pumps are the only way to go. If you have access to creeks/streams, you could look into an inline, or gravity, filter like the sawyer mini ($20 at Walmart). I carry a Nalgene bottle and a steripen for the quick fills, and use the pump or gravity feed when filling bladders or camp water. Use topo maps to identify possible water sources, and plan your purification methods accordingly. [/QUOTE]
