completely removed.
• Tests also demonstrated zero bacteria in the filtered water after idle
intervals, demonstrating that no bacteria incubate within the filter.
Contamination of the ceramic filter element by harmful bacteria is
prevented by bacteriostatic silver, which is dispersed and fixed
throughout the ceramic material by Katadyn’s proprietary
manufacturing process. This protection lasts up to the end of the life
cycle of the element
• The Katadyn Pocket does not remove dissolved minerals.
Therefore, sea water is not desalinated. Nor is water softened by the
removal of hardness, minerals, calcium and magnesium, normally
considered beneficial in water for drinking and cooking.
• Parasites, algae, pollen, fungi, asbestos fibers, nuclear explosion
debris, invisible dust particles as well as larger suspended particles
and sediment are removed by Katadyn filtration. Does not remove

Katadyn Mini Ceramic Filter
Ultralight Series
The Mini Ceramic is a water filter for camping, hiking, during hotel stays, etc.
This filter will transform even turbid water from lakes and rivers into crystal clear
and germ-free drinking water. Impure drinking water presents one of the most
serious health risks while traveling. The Katadyn Mini Ceramic solves this
problem in a safe, environmentally-friendly and simple way, without boiling the
water or adding chemicals. The fine porosity of 0.2 microns of the Katadyn
ceramic safely traps bacteria and spores, in addition to suspended solids,
turbidities, worm eggs and protozoan cysts, regardless of the water quality.

The Core Element – Proven Katadyn Ceramic
Microporous Katadyn ceramic, with a pore size of only 0.0002 mm (0.2
microns), safely traps all bacteria responsible for passing on diseases
such as typhoid, dysentery, cholera, amoebic dysentery, bilharziosis,
etc. Protozoa cysts (including Giardia and Cryptosporidium), fungi,
parasites, and spores are also prevented from passing through the filter.
Silver, which forms part of the Katadyn ceramic, is permanently
embedded in the ceramic structure and acts as a disinfectant. It provides
on-going protection against the proliferation of bacteria through the
filter pores. The inside of the filter element contains silver quartz
crystals to prevent any possible recontamination through the tap outlet,
during extended periods of non-use.
Activated Carbon
Katadyn uses the highest quality activated carbon, obtained from various agents such as peat moss, brown coal, hard coal,
wood and coconut shells. This porous carbon entraps chlorine, iodine and other health threatening chemicals including
insecticides, pesticides, and other malodorous substances thus making the water safe and palatable.

Primus Classic Moonlite Lantern
Output: 120 W
Dim. In Box: 3.5”x6.3”
Weight: 295 g/10.4 oz.
The energy in a standard 450g Primus cartridge is equivalent to about one liter of methylated spirits. The LP gas in the
cartridge has been compressed by 250 times into a liquid. The pressure gives a low freezing point and means that the fuel also
works at high altitude. Primus LP gas mixture with 70% butane, 20% propane and 10% isobutane is optimized for high
reliability, for broad application areas and for the lightest possible weight.
42
Primus LP Gas – no smoke, no soot
and no dangerous waste. All that is
produced from combustion are carbon
dioxide and water vapor, the same
substances that you breathe out.

MSR Water Filters
Because water isn’t a luxury… MSR’s line of water filters is made with the
absolute uncompromising quality of ceramic technology. Nothing outperforms
ceramic technology in the backcountry for reliable water treatment. Both the
MiniWorksTM and WaterWorks IITM filters are continually relied on because
they work. Each and every filter is flow tested before leaving the factory.
Full field maintainability – Unlike other filter media, only ceramic elements can be
abraded and renewed in the field, time and time again for easy field maintenance. This
means you won’t get stuck in the backcountry with a nonfunctional filter.
Longest lasting – The ability to clean ceramic and expose fresh filter media over and
over makes ceramic the longest lasting filter material available.
Effective – MSR’s water filters remove all waterborne pathogenic bacteria, protozoa
(including Giardia and Cryptosporidium), and other particulate matter. The carbon core
inside the ceramic element removes many dissolved chemicals (including iodine and
chlorine), unpleasant tastes and odors.
