[pct-l] Water treatment (revisited)

[albert at survivalcrafters.com]

Good point and 30 gallons is an ample amount to work with out the gate. I
can see wanting to purify a liter now and then and then doing 4 liters or
more at once if setting up camp for a day so I'm happy with the drops.  -

I calculated the AM bottles will treat 30 gallons.
It's nice to be able to adjust the dose and the strength and not be stuck
with a set amount as a tablet will do.

"Quarter-full" which could have been my trail names.)
