Water has to be high on the list of priorities when you are planning for a trip, be it a hike or an offroad drive. Pictured is (clockwise from left) a personal water filter, back pack, canteen, water reservoir sleeve, a humble steel kettle and mineral water bottle.

IT IS an understatement to say that water is a necessity.

Access to clean water can literally mean life or death, though it does seem to be taken lightly by many here in Malaysia.
