[pct-l] Ultralite Water Filter

[Paul.C.Griffith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Griffith, Paul C)]

Can't speak for commercial products.  I'm just using the Exstream Cyst
filter - a 2-micro paper filter in a little plastic shell.  It is a
replacement part for a water bottle that includes a pre-filter and a
"anti-viral" chemical piece.  But I just want to filter giardia cycsts out
of clean water.  I found it easy to drink out of.  I've also used it as a
gravity filter.  I'll shut up about it now, except to reply direct to
individuals.

Actually, it's not all that easy.  I hiked with one who had one of these
fill
and suck filters and it seemed to me that the sucking was way too hard.
When
I drink, I want water, not a
turn-yourself-inside-out-suck-for-all-you're-worth water source.  Of course,
the weight seems mighty tantalizing, compared to a 365 gram Pur Hiker or the
like.

No Way
