Anyone messed around with those fancy hand pumps for water filtration? Looks like it would take a long time and much of your energy to filter just a drinkable amount of water, whereas you could just let iodine or other purification tablets do all the hard work for you, with the only downside being the chemical flavor.
For a minute there, I thought you were referring to the John Hughes movie. Nonetheless, I have indeed been camping before, about a year ago. It was pretty fun.
I used to go camping when I was a wee lad. It was fun to hike down old trails and find old dilapidated cabins and what have you. It was cool being around nature. The birds singing bird songs, crickets off in the distance.
Good times.
