[pct-l] inline Sawyer Filter

[Chris Anderson]

I think he is worried about contaminating a cup he uses on things other than boiled water, i.e. the cup measuring cold water to pour into a cold rehydrated breakfast... if your worried about that level of cross contamination, why not just plan ahead...you could easily get a water bottle at any resupply place and cut off all but what you need to dip into water sources, its easily found, cut down it weighs maybe a few grams, and can be replaced easily... or even use a sandwich/ziplock baggy to collect the water (although slower)...or better yet, next time you boil water pour it into the cup to sterilize

Just curious: Why would you worry about using a contaminated cup on water
you are going to boil?

When I cook with water I usually didn't worry about treating it first as
the boiling would kill all the nasties.
