Water filtration?
I agree with previous comments about the steripen. It does take quite a while to sterilize large amounts of water and the batteries suffer regularly, especially with the cold mornings and evenings during the hunting season. I also use the katadyn filter and it is simple, fast and safe.- BootsontheGround18

Backcountry communication
I have the zoleo. When you plan to be in areas with no cell service, I'd recommend to up your message plan as the basic plan of 50 messages runs out very fast.- BootsontheGround18

DIY backpack meals $4-6 ideas?
Buy a dehydrator and make your own dehydrated meals. I make extra portions for dinner and dehydrate some here and some there in preparation for summer and fall.

Water Purification
I use the Katadyn filters attached to a hydrapak and then I squeeze the water into a 1.5L water bottle. It is a simple and quick solution. I have tried other systems such as grayl, uv pen, etc but so far I am most pleased with the simplicity and efficiency of the Katadyn system.- BootsontheGround18

Early Season Educational Resources
University of Elk Hunting is a great resource and a great starting point. Water is a must for a dry area and 1st archery season where it will be hot. Try to do a lot of e-scouting and get some boots on the ground if possible prior to your hunt to confirm what you found during e-scouting. Look...- BootsontheGround18
