[pct-l] Water filtration

[Rob Flynn]

Aqua Mira, and a bandana to pre-filter nasties from lakes.  Only treated about 40% of the water on the PCT, never a problem.  I know some people who never treat at all, with no problems, but that is a personal choice obviously.

Sawyer Squeeze.  It's very light, quick and convenient.  The older versions
had bladders that were prone to failure if they were squeezed, but fared
better if rolled.  Sawyer has updated this filter this year with sturdier
bladders.  Evernew bladders also work well, but it's almost impossible to
find.a vendor that has any in stock.  Regular soda bottles also work.
 Platypus bladders won't work.  It costs about $40.
