Platypus GravityWorks 4L Water Filtration System

Nobody wants to stand at a creek pumping a filter handle while the rest of camp sets up the tents and starts dinner. The Platypus GravityWorks 4L Water Filtration System skips that chore entirely. Fill the unfiltered reservoir, hang it from a branch or tree hook, and let gravity push water through a hollow fibre filter into the clean reservoir below. There's no disassembly to keep the flow moving, just hang the clean side higher than the dirty side and let it drain. In under three minutes you've got four litres of filtered water ready for the whole group, whether that's a basecamp crew rehydrating after a long day of hiking or a family filling bottles before the next paddle. The side-mounted hose connection keeps silt out of the works, and a quick-disconnect valve stops the flow automatically when you unhook the hose, so nothing spills while you're breaking camp.
