[pct-l] Aqua Mira...again

[DayLate07 .]

You won't have to treat every source, in some cases you will actually be
getting water out of a faucet.

Also if you don't need to drink the water right away, say you are treating
it over night, you can use a smaller dosage (say half) and that will work
fine too.  I think I used less than 3 for the whole PCT.  YMMV

There were a couple of spots where I thought these would have been very
nice as I tend to get a lot of pain when my feet get very cold (frost nip
from years ago).  I never used them (yet) but would probably carry them in
the Sierra as I remember my feet freezing going over Maher.  This was from
walking on snow for hours with wet trailrunners.
