[pct-l] RE: water purification questions

(This got tied up in an email void, hence the delay.)

 

4 hours is a long time to wait for water.  It means you are going to be
carrying lots of water all the time. Although I can't state my source, my
biggest fear when hiking the PCT was not Giardia; it was Crypto.

 

Even so, $125 is a cheap water bill for 5 months. It also is insurance that
you are not going to have to cut your trip short, or be miserable for
hundreds of miles.

My other question is has anyone tried the MSR MIOX purifier yet?
