Backpack Water Filters â Be Prepared for the Wilderness
If you’re heading out on a trek where bringing your own bottled water is not an option and boiling water is a hassle then a good backpack water filter is what you need. Most experienced wilderness junkies either use a filter or else they chemically treat their water.
A good backpack water filter will eliminate parasites and possibly even viruses. A typical filter uses cartridges that can either be cleaned or replaced. The amount of sediment in the water will determine how long the filters will last. For a long excursion be sure to bring back-up filters. Most backpack water filters will treat about a quart of water per minute. However as the filters get more used and clogged treatment will slow down. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions to be sure your filter is working properly and safely. A good thing to look for is a water filter that contains a pre-filter. This is used for removing larger floating particles and will extend the life of your filter.
Another option for treating water is iodine tablets or iodine crystals. They have the advantage of being extremely light weight and take up next to no room in your backpack. Many people swear by them and it is a personal choice you’ll have to make. Though it is very easy to use, some experts question how well it really works to eliminate the danger of parasites. If you choose to treat your water with iodine be sure to follow the treatment instructions on the bottle.

Any wilderness expert will tell you that untreated water is never safe to drink no matter where you are. Many people have fallen very ill because they have trusted the safety of unfiltered mountain water or a clear stream. Many times that water is contaminated with a dead animal or other pollutants that we are unaware of.
A backpack filter will ensure that you are safe and that your thirst is quenched. Shop and compare and find the one that will suit your needs and your budget and know that you are totally prepared for your next excursion.

What is the value of a Ithaca Model #37.?
I have a Deerslayer Featherlight 12 gauge pump shotgun with 2 boxes of old 2 3/4 cartridges. It was mfg. in the 50's and is in excellent shape. The serial number is #768782 and it has the signature duck engravings on both sides. It has been rarely fired as my dad never shot but 1 deer in his life. I need to sell it and would like to know the value. Thanks, Dave.
Value is going to be totally dependent on what a buyer figures the actual condition to be. Very often, buyer and seller will disagree on the definition of actual condition, which can make a big difference in the actual value of the gun. Plus, there’s a lot more that needs to be known about your specific gun before a fair market value can be determined.
Placing an accurate value on collector’s guns in today’s market is very difficult. Gun prices are generally rising, overall, and the Blue Book values are lagging behind the market by at least six months. To get a more realistic view of current prices, check out www.gunbroker.com, www.auctionarms.com, and www.gunsamerica.com to see what’s selling. Keep in mind that what you see there is asking prices, and not actually what the firearms selling for, but it will give you some ideas.
If you think your Ithaca 37 is worth some decent bucks, it may be worth the cost of a reliable appraisal. Check out http://www.gun-appraisals.com. This is a link to an online appraisal service that is fast, reasonably priced, and reliable. I have used them several times in the recent past, and always been happy with their service and results. Starting at $10, their appraisal would be a good step to take in placing a value on your shotgun.
Once you have a reliable value, if you decide to sell it, I've had very good luck in buying and selling firearms on GunBroker.
Good luck.
