[pct-l] Inline Filters



 Hey Joanne, I remember Hawkeye ( PCT 2000) having a regular " Fram" gas 
filter used inline on his platipus bag. ( Made for some 70's style Datson 
Pickup) Looked cool and you see the paper element inside. Not sure if it's 
much better than drinking through a coffee filter, but Hawkeye has 3 or 4 
thru-hikes under his belt and seems  work to for him.  My pump -type filter 
is around 11ozs. and a pain to haul. I have seen the little screw in type 
filters that go in your water bottle and may be good. Walkon's sports bottle 
filter is a good choice and after the desert, you can do with chemicals 
instead if in doubt. So on your way for gas -line anti-freeze for your stove 
, pick up a Fram . ( At least a small gas gas filter may make a good  
pre-filter for your pumper brand X filter)
