Keeps you hydrated, anywhere

This filter is great! I've use it frequently over the past 18 months; whether from Ozark streams, Cascade alpine lakes, Coastal rivers or Rocky Mountain melt water, the filter has delivered clean, cool - not to mention parasite and pathogen free - water, again and again. I'm on my second filter and store the filter in the method described by Jeff Gerhard, see below. This filter is the choice for backpacking, canoeing and everything else - if I went back to Mexico I'd take this filter, sunblock and a Spanish-English translator.
