Customer Reviews
Having served for over 12 years I got used to using canteens as my preferred water transport. This kit is great, whether I’m filtering water from a water buffalo, hiking and finding a stream, or taking the kiddos to amusement park with questionable tasting water. As a side note I’ve found it takes about 3 times through the entire canteen before it becomes easier to squeeze. After each squeeze you should crack open the cap to let some air back in to make squeezing easier, then tighten and go back after it. I would absolutely recommend this kit for anyone who already uses canteens.
I unbox and prep the ALFA1 GI Canteen. I also check to see if the filter lid will fit my G I. Issue 1 and 2 quart canteen as well as my Nalgene Oasis Canteen. Let's go on down to the creek and get a drink.
