Insect Repellents / Protection Insects can be a real nuisance at best, and a hazard at worst, particularly the mosquito. Here are the best insect repellents and protection to keep the critters away. All of our filters have been subjected to air testing three times before leaving our manufacturing facility to ensure that no harmful microorganisms can pass through our filter fibers, which no other water filtering firm can make. I wonder why the syringe end is shaped like it can be screwed onto something then? It would have been easier to use if it could be screwed onto the nozzle end of the filter. Final Thoughts on the Sawyer Mini Water Filter System The straw is little small for the nozzle and I had to push it hard for it fit in. However, it did loosen quite often so it fell out in the container I was drinking from. I’m not much of an outdoorsy person but having one of these on hand is pretty useful because I use it on most of my trips. I can’t always be buying bottled water and complimentary bottled water is often limited in hotels so having this water filter allows me to drink tap water safely.

Laptop Bags No matter if you’re carrying a laptop for business or pleasure, it needs to be kept safe and secure. Here are the best laptop bags for casual and business travel. Pretty much anytime when you’re travelling somewhere you’re not confident the tap water or wild water source is safe to drink untreated. No-one wants their holiday ruined by a dodgy tummy that could easily have been avoided.

They are cheap and lightweight, and each person can be responsible for filtering their own water.

I personally don’t mind this so much. I kind of enjoy filtering the water each morning as I cook our camp breakfast. Sleep It’s no fun being deprived of sleep. You should be full of energy to fully enjoy the adventures and excitement of travelling. Here are the best sleeping accessories to ensure you have a good nights sleep.
