[Cdt-l] Water purification

[Brian Dickson]

Aquamira: We did find on one occasion that one of the two bottles finished long before the other. It was a bit frustrating as we ran out sooner than we had planned but it only occured once.

Did anybody else using AquaMira have evaporation problems. One of the Aquamira bottles seemed to be losing fluid based on evaporation (can't remember which one).

We used Aquamira drops last year on the CDT and thought they were excellent, with no stomach problems. They are lightweight, cheapish ($10 for maybe 3 weeks), no taste and easy to use as well. The web sites I checked before hiking indicated that they are effective against Giardia and crypto which were our main concerns.
