[pct-l] Water treatment

[Joshua Pinedo]

Bill,

Thanks for the info.  I used this for the whole AT in 2007 and it worked
like a charm.  Easy to use, and I drank my water after a few minutes with a
little aftertaste.  I was just wondering about other people's experience.
Now, I just have to find it time for my 2011 PCT hike...
