Water (Ultimate escape)

Obviously it seems simple enough to throw some bottled water in your bag but if your bag sits idle for years  can you trust it?  If you live Up North where the temperatures frequently drop below freezing and you leave your bag in the vehicle overnight, you will have a surprise during the first thaw.  Bottled water alone is not a sustainable solution.  You need to plan for the day after you drink the last drop.  The Ultimate Escape edition includes the following (3) treatment methods and (3) storage containers:

• Sawyer Mini Filter w/ Bag - good for turning 100,000 gallons of questionable fresh water into drinkable water.  Drink straight from included pouch, use with straw, attach directly to most bottles or as an inline bladder filter.  You can clean/recharge filter with a simple backflush using the same water you just cleaned.  No better solution on the market for the weight.
• Travel Case for Sawyer Mini Filter - protect your filter from damage and keep it separated from other items in your pack.
• 2 Liter Water Bladder w/ insulated drinking tube (BPA free) - wide screw cap to easily fill and insulated tube keeps the water in the tube both cooler in the heat and slows freezing in the cold.  Includes bite tube cover to keep it clean.
• 1 Quart Stainless Steel single walled Canteen - includes cup with handle, a lid, and Molle Pouch.  This item is the core of a sustainable, on-the-go, water solution.  You can boil water in the cup for making soups or preparing your Ready-to-Eat Food pouches.  You can boil water directly in the canteen to allow drinking after it cools down. And finally it pairs perfectly with the below tablets  - 1 tab per full canteen, after treatment period dump in bladder and repeat.
• Potable Aqua Chlorine Dioxide Tablets (20) - One tablet treats 1 quart of contaminated water in four hours.  There are Iodine and Chlorine options on the market that treat in 20-30 mins but they don't kill as many bugs and have more complicated ratios.  This water purifier has no aftertaste like other options and is effective against bacteria, viruses and cysts.  I like the "Keep it Simple"  Principle and am willing to wait 4 hours for that confidence.  Use the Sawyer Mini Filter if you get thirsty during the four hour treatment period.
• 4-way Sillcock Key -  includes water spigot keys, mechanical/electrical box key and train/elevator door key.  In the event of a total  breakdown of society you may need to turn on the water at the abandoned cabin in the woods or enter the elevator shaft in the hotel your staying at to access the non-Zombie floor.
