[pct-l] Water Purification

[simonlislewillis@hotmail.com (swillis)]

Back in the UK I thought we had water purification sorted for our PCT
thru-hike. We'd use mainly Aqua Mira plus some Iodine. I'd read the
excellent medical article about Giardia and wasn't worried.

Now I arrive in the US, I'm told about something called
"cryptosporidium".

Was the guy in the store just trying to sell me a $70 filter? ("the only
way to remove crypto")

Or is this a real issue? Past thru-hikers please advise.

Thanks in advance.
