What would water filter/purifier would be ideal for international travel. I need one that i can use in pretty nasty water.

Agree with Gabe- MSR makes first rate filters. However, internationally, viruses become a greater concern, and simple filtration won't do the job of removing them. You're then talking about purification. Boiling, chemical, or UV treatment is the only way to go. SteriPen or Miox (with extra batteries), and chlorine dioxide (MicroPur tablets) is what I would be bringing along.

any of the msr filters are excellent. i use the sweetwater because it's pretty light and filters nasty water no problem. they are also easily servicable in the field.
