A Lifestraw
While you don’t have to be an outdoorsy person to to have one (it's great to have for travel to places where you aren't sure about tap water), buying a Lifestraw really makes sense for avid hikers and campers. It can remove microplastics, bacteria, parasites and more (including E. coli, salmonella and giardia) from just about any water source. One single filter has a long lifespan, providing about 1,000 gallons of clean and safe drinking water and making it well worth the price tag.
