Re: Water treatment
I own the PUR (now Katadyn) Hiker which has served me well and was also given a Gold Choice Award by Backpacker mag.. It is only a filter and not a purifier. A purifier is only needed where viruses are a concern which seems to be a none issue in U.S. waters. A recent issue of Backpacker mag had an excellent article on backcountry waters in the U.S. I am less worried about drinking creek water after reading the article although I will continue to filter.
Place a coffee filter around the prefilter to extend the life of your filter.
