We’re not going to argue which method is best, but we will say that the Katadyn Gravity BeFree Water Filtration System is a solid choice for seasoned hikers and newbies alike.

Fill up the bladder from your favorite stream, hang it on a tree, and watch as the liquid is filtered by gravity itself through the 0.1-micron filter.
