The FirstNeed water purifier has been one of my best buys. I've used it since the early 80's and it's never let me down. In larger group camping we all end up using my FirstNeed purifier because the other brands were a pain to use, or stopped working altogether. The only reason it's not rating a "10" is its bulk/weight and replacement filters seem expensive.

Great canoe, camping adventures, fishing, whitewater and flatwater races it's been used and abused for 20 years! The only problem is "UV" hull ebrittlement, otherwise it has held up fine. Kevlar skincoat with center rib/shockabsorbers const., sliding frnt/back seats and foot brace. My next canoe will be a Kevlar skincoat ultralight const., but will always be covered from the sun.
