[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2981770, member: 97050"] Sounds good in theory until you have to hike camp to your water. Meals take up a decent chunk of said water plus..hydrating. Between walking and boiling, and managing dirty water vs clean water it would get pretty annoying pretty fast imo. While I can only speak for myself, I go out of my way to make things efficient and comfortable so I can concentrate on hunting. A filter does just fine. At least in the US. There's not many cases of virus's from water[B] in the US [/B]noro being the general concern. There was a recent issue of a hiker off the PCT who collected standing water next to a latrine in the "backcounty" that warranted a CDC investigation. [I]My[/I] investigation concluded that guy was an idiot. In the mountain alpines though, it's pretty darn safe as long as people continue to follow basic backcountry rules. For those that rather have a purifier rather than a filter, grayl makes a pretty sweet one. Probably worth checking out.
