Whether in the wilds of Africa or the mountains of Colorado, you’ll have pure sweet drinking water anytime, anywhere with the Travel Berkey Water Purification System.
(I received trial products from Berkey Water filters for this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.)
Throughout our summertime adventures, this small silver tank, or Travel Berkey, ensured that we had perfectly purified delicious water to drink, cook, wash with, etc. literally anywhere we went.
The Travel Berkey is so cool, when we weren’t out on back country advetures, I had it set up in my kitchen at home so we could filter Rio Rancho City tap water too! The ingenious gravity fed water filters in the Berkey Purification system will remove 99.99% of all pathogenic material, viruses, heavy metals, virtually anything unsafe, and provide H²O in it’s purest form for us to drink. You can read more about it here.
I really put my Travel Berkey to the test this summer; seeing if it would filter various dyes (Mio flavorings), heavy metals in bad well water from an old cabin, and even stagnant pond water! I wanted to make sure that if the world ‘Hit The Fan’ (you know what I mean) that my family and I would be just fine. Each time the Berkey purificaition system proved to me it’s the bees knees, real deal as I opened the spigot and only pure sweet tasting water came out! It’s truly an outstanding product, leaving all other water purification systems in the dust! Literally. Just be sure to treat it with care, it is a bit fragile. I recomend you purchase the Berkey Tote to transport, carry and store your product confidently.
If you’re the kind of person that loves being in the wilderness, shopping for the latest innovations in outdoor gear (I’m talking you you REI people), or are a prepper at heart then I say to you- GET yourself a Berkey Water Purifyer ASAP. It could literally save your life one day. Or how about every day? Cuz you know, the less plastic water bottles filling up local land fills, the better for the enviroment amiright???
Sego Summertime
A Sego lily proudly shows it’s trifecta of white petals. We found fields full of them on our last adventure in Colorado.
Speaking of summer adventures, I can hardly believe it’s time again for me to share my end of summer-fun blog post with you! How is 2019 going by so freakin’ fast!!?? I sooo did not go to Africa as mentioned above, but we did manage to make it up to Colorado a few times and up to Wyoming and Idaho too!
The Cumbres and Toltec scenic railroad winds it’s way along the Osier creek and through this valley.
I love being a blogger so much because it gives me the flexibilty to do all these wonderful things with my family without having to ask ‘my boss’ for time off!
My family plus a couple cousins at the Osier train stop along the Cumbres and Toltec railroad.
Even though it’s still in the 90’s here every stinkin’ day, I now say goodbye to summertime, and HELLO to back to school time and the fall/holiday season (yaaaaaaay my absolute favorite)!
What’s your opinion on the big berkey water filter? I bought one a couple of weeks ago from below, but am now wondering if I got too big of a system for just myself.

Hi Justina!
I think the Travel Berkey (the one I have) is supposed to comfortably support one or two people with drinking water (if there is a water source nearby), but the Big berkey can supply many more in an emergency. Any Berkey filter is great to have for day to day use, or any time you’re heading outdoors into the wilderness. Better to have a surplus of clean water than not enough, I say ;0).
Hi,
I don’t really feel that a gravity filter is a good option when traveling. Instead a filter bottle is really compact and effective means to filter water on the go.
Thanks for your thought on this model.
I like that there is a portable water filter available anywhere. My wife and I travel a lot on the road and this can be truly useful for us. We would like an expert in Water Treatment Systems for Homes to help us in our household as well.
We have been providing water solutions for ages from BERKEY WATER PURIFIER. i love it
Such a great idea for traveling families. We have to stop and buy water from service stations…. not anymore
The perfect solution for my traveling family instead of having to buy water from service stations regularly
I like that there is a convenient water channel accessible anyplace. My better half and I travel a great deal out and about and this can be genuinely helpful for us. We might want a specialist in Water Treatment Systems for Homes to help us in our family unit too.
Hi Cynthia,
Yes agreed! We will definitely be bringing our Travel Berkey back to our Colorado cabin again this summer.
When it comes to considering a water filter, the Berkey water filter is the best for me. I am using the Big Berkey model. But, I am thinking to try their light model in the future. Thanks for your effort :)!
You’re very welcome Doug, we have our travel Berkey in our kitchen and still use it every day.
Good review.
I am so grateful for my Berkey. I have wanted one of these for five years when I saw it at someone’s house, and tasted how much better the water was than Brita. Ah! So glad I have this.
I’m still trying to figure out the best filter for fluoride. I know that the standard carbon filters are not effective in removing fluoride. I don’t know how effective stainless Berkey in removing fluoride.
I have learned huge knowledge from here. I am waiting for your updates
Sounds like a good water purifier! Thank you for your review!
This article is a good review. It is also helpful in purchasing equipment.
