If you don't like those specific items - the brands are all legit, see what other options they offer.

REI.com has a list/registry option too. I recommend it over Amazon - where questionable products are abundant.

Clothes are hard to buy as gifts - but important for backpacking. Patagonia, Arc'teryx, Icebreaker, Darn Tough, and Smartwool make quality stuff.

You could also add a bunch of fancy dehydrated meals like Mountain House, Backpackers Pantry, and Packit Gourmet. Or just flats of beef jerky and dark chocolate.

Got it.

The filter I pour it through is for making unknown water potable (for backpackers and such):

I have it hanging like a separatory funnel and use gravity to filter the water. It has an extremely high flow rate and lasts forever with regular backwashing. This seems extraordinary to me because a vacuum flask with suction and a buchner funnel with 11micron paper takes orders of magnitude longer. This is one of the things I want to check.

Any thoughts on this device?

Clothes could be a whole post of their own. Start with what you already own and upgrade to wool/synthetics over time.

Food from the grocery store is cheap. Skip the fancy freeze dried stuff. Shout out /r/trailmeals.

Skipping unnecessary items is the best way to save money. Amazon will make you think that a huge knife, lantern, chair, axesaw, and other 'camping' gear is important. Don't let them trick you into wasting money / weight on garbage.
