Carried Water Runs Out. A Creek Is A Refill.
Every trip runs on the same countdown. Day one, the jerry cans are full and nobody thinks about water. By day three you're washing up with a cupful, eyeing the last can and working out how far it is to the nearest tap. So you pack up early, or you never leave the caravan park, pitched shoulder to shoulder like it's a Big W carpark.
BushWard flips that. Carry the filter, not the water. Fill the bag at the creek beside camp, hang it up, and the quiet spot you found is yours for as long as you want it.
Why One Bag Beats Straws And Tablets
A straw filter is one person kneeling at the creek. Tablets mean half an hour of waiting for water that tastes like the pool. BushWard does the whole camp in one fill, hands free.

What Campers Told Us
Most Creeks Look Clean. That's The Problem.
What makes campers crook is invisible: cattle upstream, a dead roo around the bend, an untreated campground tap. The water looks perfect, the kids are thirsty, and you're the one deciding whether it's safe.
BushWard's 0.1 micron filter does the job your eyes can't. So when they hold out their bottles, you fill them without a second thought, and the only thing anyone remembers about the trip is the trip.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Will it work with the water where I camp?
Will it work with the water where I camp?
Yes. It's made for fresh water: creeks, rivers, dams, lakes, rain tanks and untreated campground taps. It's not for salt water, chemical runoff or water with a blue green algae warning.
Does it really make creek water safe to drink?
Does it really make creek water safe to drink?
The 0.1 micron hollow fibre filter is a physical barrier for bacteria and parasites like Giardia and Crypto. Clear water isn't always clean water, so the filter does the job your eyes can't. It does not remove viruses, chemicals or salt.
Do I need a tree to hang it?
Do I need a tree to hang it?
No. If it can hang, it works. A 4WD awning, roof rack, caravan rail, tailgate, shower rail or a low gum branch all do the job, so you can set it up wherever you've parked.
How fast is it and how long does the filter last?
How fast is it and how long does the filter last?
The full 6 litre bag runs through in about 10 to 15 minutes, so it's done while you set up camp. One filter lasts up to 5,000 litres, more than 800 full bags, and a spare filter 2 pack is in the cart.
Do I still need to carry water?
Do I still need to carry water?
Take enough for the drive and any dry stretches. BushWard means you top up at every creek instead of rationing what's in the tray, so you can carry less and stay longer.
What if I'm not happy with my BushWard products?
What if I'm not happy with my BushWard products?
Take it on your next camping trip. If it's not for you, send it back within 90 days of delivery for a full refund.
I've drunk from creeks for years and never got crook. Why bother?
I've drunk from creeks for years and never got crook. Why bother?
Plenty of us have, right up until the trip it goes wrong. Giardia can take a week or two to show up, so most people never link it back to the creek they drank from. And when it does hit, kids tend to feel it the worst. BushWard takes the guesswork out of it.
How many kits does my family need?
How many kits does my family need?
One kit covers a family's drinking water, with a fill in the morning and one in the arvo. If you cook and wash up with filtered water too, or camp with another family, two kits means one is always running while the other's being filled.
