[pct-l] Water filters/purification

[dsaufley at sprynet.com]

You beat me to the punch on that one, Monty.  There's also the Steripen, which kills bacteria using UV light.  Trauma was using that this past season.  I used Aqua Mira, and found it easy and quick.  I carried cheesecloth to filter out floaty things (it didn't even register on my ounce scale).
