You always need to consider the safety measures when going for a camping or hiking or any other outdoor activity. Water is a necessity for human being but sometimes this necessity can cause real danger to our lives because of the germs, bacteria and other microorganisms within it.

To avoid such risk of getting ill, you must carry a water filter when going for a camping trip. A water filter helps you in converting contaminated water into drinkable one. As it's decided to carry a purifier, now the question is what points to consider before you a buy a filter or purifier?

The difference is the protection level of potable water systems that vary system to system. Here are the levels to consider

Ease to Use: Simple is always better, so always opt for purifier which is easy to use and does not look like a scientific calculator. Don't buy an expensive one but make sure that it must be a reliable and durable one.

Safety: It should always be your priority. Most manufacturers of water filter use a protocol known as EPA i.e. environmental protection agency as a guideline. Below is a safety guide to help you out in making a right choice for your purifier.

Purity Safety Levels:

Level 1 - Purifier: Level 1 is the highest safety level and it eliminates all types of microorganisms such as viruses etc from water. It gives the Microbiological Micron Rating of 0.018

Level 2 - Microfilter: Second level of safety and removes most of the microorganisms such as bacteria and protozoa. A disinfectant approved from EPA can be add to the filtered water to attain a further level of protection from viruses. It gives the Microbiological Micron Rating of 0.3 to 1.0

Level 3 - Filter: The lowest level of protection which removes only Giardia or other impurities such as protozoa and some bacteria. It gives the Microbiological Micron Rating of 1.0 to 4.0

So consider the above safety levels before you buy a water purifier and be precise in opting for the right water filter so that you can enjoy a healthy, safe and hygienic camping trip without any worries. You can buy camping gear online or from physical stores in your locality.

Wow, there are a lot of headlamps for camping on the market today and for good reason, but choosing the right one can be a little frustrating.

With so many choices, this short article will shed some light on helping you pick the right one and give a better understanding of the features you need to look for.

These versatile lighting tools give you the ability to perform task completely hands free in darkness and they are one of the most important pieces of gear you can have in your backpack.

Choosing the Best Headlamp

Among the many headlamp choices, there is no one perfect light, although let me share with you my #1 choice and why.

Choosing the right head light should be based on your specific needs and uses.

The best headlamp for camping should have a few key features and the brightest is not always the best choice or the most useful.

Manufacturers rate their led headlamps by the maximum brightness in lumens. A beam throw of a 100 lumen headlamp flashlight is more than adequate for a long range distance beam to help you see paths and trail markers.

The best headlamp for camping also needs to be lightweight, comfortable to wear, balanced and typically a one size fits all is best.

Being that your headlamp would be exposed to the harsh outdoor elements, it needs to be long lasting, rugged and mostly water and shock resistant.

Another important feature is the lamp itself needs to be adjustable and tilt at least to 90 degrees in order for you to direct the beam where you want it.

Being an avid camping and hiking outdoorsman, I've owned and compared several variations of these head lights.

Looking at all the different features available, I ultimately came up with a short list of must have features for the best camping headlamp.

Features You Need in A Good Headlamp

Comfortable, stylish and cool looking of courseMultiple lighting modes & easy on/off buttonsBright white LED lights...minimum 100 lumensLightweight, rugged and water resistantSturdy constructed tilting lamp head...90 degreesShort & long range beam with an emergency flashing modeStandard batteries...long life...easy access & easy change

The Winning Headlamp

After reviewing, comparing and owning a variety of led headlamps, choosing a winner was based on style, function and features.

The chosen headlamp was simple, yet practical and contained all the features you read above.

The led super bright headlamp packs the punch with its 100 lumens of bright light and the aluminum shell makes it stylish and rugged.
