I have tablets however I’m a bit wary of using them for the 20-25L of water I’m likely to consume/need over the period of the walk. Often I’ve found there is quite a few tiny tablet particles still in the water after an hours dwell time. I don’t like the idea of consuming left overs from 20 tablets.
After suggestions for UL alternatives
- I'l have 500ml pot/mug. So I could cool boiled water but 500ml is not practical for cooling 2L of water.
- Im happy to use contaminated water for cooking/hot drinks as I'l be boiling it anyway.
- I have a sawyer squeeze, while it works, it takes quite a while and is relatively heavy at 115 grams including the dirty water squeeze bottle.
- Are those life straw bottle/filter combo things easy to use and more light weight than the sawyer/PET bottle combo?
Any new products offering UL decontaminatation I’ve missed?
Still thinking of using tablets as once I discount the boiled cooking water, Id only be using 10.
my drinking bottles will be two 1 L PET@ 32 grams each
