A Berkey water filter works without power, it works by gravity. But they run $250+. They will also last about 10,000 gallons of water for one set of elements. If you do get a water filter, DO NOT get the hand pump type, get a gravity water filter. You just set it and forget it.
I've been camping with a pump water filter where using the water filter was the ONLY way to get potable water. It was a PITA when I was starving, weak, and exhausted from porting a canoe all day.
