On a different question, what experience do others have with water filters? My son and I took a great backpacking trip at Lost Maples in January. We had a great time but on Saturday my old PUR Hiker stopped pumping. Looks like the check valve broke. It is several years old but hasn't seen that much use. It isn't much of a problem at Lost Maples because it is a short hike back to the parking lot from anywhere in the park but on some trips it could be a tough return.

Before I go shopping I was wondering what has worked best for others.
