[pct-l] Pct-L Digest, Vol 64, Issue 14

[Tori Lindsley]

For what it's worth, my husband and I hiked 2400 miles of the PCT in 2009 - using Aqua Mira 100% of the time for water treatment.  We were picky about our water sources and would haul extra water rather than use a questionable water source.  We had absolutely no illness on the trail or after the trail.

Hi Gideon, 
I don't have any experience with aqua Mira as I'm fairly new to this sport/life on the trail. What I do have experience with however is years of digestive tract problems from food most don't have a problem with. I know I'm not the average bear in this regard but, at the same, I know I need to be just a little more careful with my water supply than most and that is why I carry a filter that I can rely on and not just chemicals. 
 
Better for me to toot down the trail without a dribble too. 
 
Terry
