Always carry three types. I have lifestraws, tablets, chlorine, gravity filters and pump.
While trekking Isle Royale we saved a couple's trip as his pump went out and he was turning back. With my high volume gravity we were able to keep both couples going. Then we found a scout troup that helped.
The best brand on the market by far is Sawyer. I just got there now micro squeeze version. Very light and looks promising.
But for SHTF there is NOTHING else to have but the one below. .02 micron which can filter some viruses, the smallest beasts around and lasts 1 million gallons. All you need is a water source in any condition and you are set for life. You can provide clean water better than your tap for 50 people for 50 years.
The filter is used by WHO (World Health Organization) in 3rd world countries. The pdf link below is an independent Microbiology report
