Cana Provisions is a family-owned company based in Gurley, Alabama, focused on a single problem: making sure people can get safe water when normal systems fail. The company grew out of a 2020 DARC training event where its founder's team had 5 gallons of water but needed 20 and most of the group's filters failed, along with earlier water treatment work in rural Cameroon. Its tagline, “Respect the Water,” reflects the idea that water preparedness isn't optional.

Cana builds water treatment reference data directly into its gear, printing treatment methods, dosages, sterilization steps, and conversion values on decals, bottles, and cards so the information lives on your kit instead of in a manual you might not have. Its line covers more than one method, from purification tablets to on-demand chlorine generation, since no single method works in every situation. Many products are built with specialized partners, including DARC for the Personal Water Decon Kit, TacValve for the Water Data MODCAN, Aqua Research for the H2GO, and Austere Medicine Consultants for field medical kits.

Developed with the Direct Action Resource Center (DARC), the 1.2-ounce Personal Water Decon Kit holds 10 water purification tablets, 6 anti-diarrheal tablets, 4 electrolyte tablets, 4 compressed towelettes, 4 rubber bands, 4 alcohol wipes, 4 waterproof bandages, 2 triple-antibiotic ointment packets, and 2 safety pins. Everything is sealed in a resealable 4-mil laminated mylar bag with easy-tear notches. Its drug facts and instruction card is printed on waterproof paper that stays flammable when wet, so it can double as an emergency fire starter.

Yes. At 1.2 ounces it adds almost no weight to a bug out bag, IFAK, vehicle kit, or EDC pouch, and it pairs well with a Water Data Nalgene or any other water bottle. Store it in a cool, dry place below 140°F (60°C), and replace the tablets as they reach their expiration dates.

The 1L / 1Q Water Data Decal is a 5.25 x 5.25 inch decal sized for a standard 32oz wide-mouth Nalgene, carrying treatment methods, dosages, sterilization instructions, and common conversion values. Apply it to a bottle you already own and your water treatment reference goes wherever your water does. It may fit other bottles, but it's designed specifically for the 32oz wide-mouth Nalgene.

The Water Data Nalgene is a classic 32oz wide-mouth Nalgene printed by Nalgene with a full 360-degree wrap of treatment options, sterilization instructions, a freeze line, a common conversion table, and general warnings. Legacy Nalgene volume gradients are on the reverse side, so it still works as a standard measuring bottle. Because the reference is printed on the bottle itself, there's no separate card to lose.

The H2GO Global is a handheld chlorine generator that uses electrolysis to make disinfectant from just salt and water, with no cartridges or chemical refills. It treats up to 300 liters per battery charge and is rated for a lifetime capacity of 124,000 liters, which suits it to group water treatment, disaster response, and long-term preparedness. It doesn't make seawater drinkable or remove heavy metals or chemical contamination, so start with the cleanest water source available.

Filtration physically removes sediment, particulates, and many pathogens by passing water through a filter, while chemical purification uses disinfectants like chlorine or iodine to kill microorganisms. Chlorine is effective against bacteria and viruses, but some protozoa are harder to kill, which is why the H2GO calls for multiple doses to treat protozoa like Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Cloudy water should be pre-filtered through cloth or a towelette before chemical treatment, which is why the Personal Water Decon Kit includes compressed towelettes.
