[pct-l] clean water

[Kevin Cook]

Their site says 7.4 oz. That's a LOT better then my MiniWorks at 1lb.
This one appears to be a pump though. Is there a different model that is
gravity feed? I'm intrigued by the thought of not having to pump. I like the
idea of setting the gravity system and going about other trail chores while
my water is filtered for me.

I had made a budget estimate for this trip, but I keep finding more and more
gear I want to make lighter :P

I had planned to only carry the MiniWorks in socal where there are some
gross water sources, and then switch to chemical treatment at KM. At 7 oz, I
might reconsider. Filtered water tastes better, and I'm picky about what I
drink. :P
