UNIVERSAL CAMP GEAR:
☐ BASE CAMP FILTRATION SYSTEM (I had two types of water filtration systems and recomend that you only buy the hiker pro with an extra filter) I use coffee filter on the end of the hiker pro to extend the life of the filter. I spent the extra money and bought the quick release system and that made it very easy to use.
