Because sometimes we have the opportunity to wild camp, or the weather is exceptionally warm, to be able to filter water that we find out on the hills is a godsend!
This is were the MSR Trailshot comes into its own...but don't just take my word for it...
Julie Bell and her faithful companion Lottie, from Simply Strolling tested it out whilst she was in Snowdownia for a couple of days..
Review of MSR Trail Shot
I was lucky enough to be bought a voucher for Crickhowell Adventure for Christmas which I’d earmarked for an MSR Trail Shot.
This summer it has really come into its own when I’m wild camping.
As I have a dog I have to carry extra kit anyway so any weight reduction is a boon. I am usually okay with drinking from high up streams but this summer has been so dry that even the rivers are more like trickles, water temps are rising and I just want the reassurance of knowing that I'm not going to get a dicky tum … or worse….. from being out and drinking from water sources.
Add to that the fact you can see larvae etc in some of the smaller streams I don’t see the point in chancing it!
That’s where the MSR Trail Shot comes in.
You can either drink straight from the water source through the mouth piece using the hand pump or “pump” the water into whatever you are carrying your water in.
I hate the taste of chlorine tablets so this is a happy middle ground for me and as I’ve been caught short with water in the baking temperatures this summer this has been fantastic just to have in my pack.
The pic is me coming down after camping in the Carneddau in July.
Why did I take it under Tryfan then?
Cose it looks cooler than just taking a pic in a place that could be anywhere, and we were about 1.5km away from the car still, in need of a drink and somewhere to cool off our feet, and paws.
