  1. Thanks for these great reviews Chris. I don't think that I own a single item of gear from clothing to cameras where I haven't first thought 'what would Chris Townsend suggest?'. So now that I'm spending more time on longer distance backpacking trips, I've often wondered about water filtration. I've always used chlorine or aquimira tablets as they are simple, and have no moving parts to fail. But what about any long term health considerations I thought? I think the Cnoc Vecto and Katadyn BeFree would be ideal. So I'm getting them!

  2. Thanks Jay. When I use water treatment, which is rarely, it's the Sawyer Mini, which is light and simple.
