our filters clogged at Cyphers and they weren't field maintainable (another
decision by the crew, not the adults) so we turned to Polar Pure. We didn't
have the Vit C. The water tasted just fine. My understanding is that Polar
Pure is not being used this season however.

For those of you who still plan to use PolarPure on their check hikes, 1/2
tablet of el cheapo Vitamin C (added after waiting the necessary
purification time) eliminates the iodine taste. The boys thought it added
a slight lemon taste. We used the Vitamin C extensively in 2002, but in
2004, a different crew just sucked down the straight iodine-tainted water.
Different folks means different strokes..... Also, for those prone to
muscle cramping, I have read at least one article that said Vitamin C can
reduce cramping, so this would be a probable benefit from the "Vitamin C
enhanced water". But, there are several doctors on the list and they would
know far better than I <g>! YIS. Mike ('76, '02 and '04).

Please respond to

philmont

These have probably been addressed before but:

polor pure-can you use the tablets that get rid of the taste? Should you
bring the 2 tablet iodine system?
Do crews always pair up 2 men to a tent? DO some adults pair up with their
sons? Do adults usually tent by themselves? What is recommended?
Explain Philmont's idea of One Pot cooking method where the freezed dried
food is involved? Do you boil the water and mix individually or mixed it
all in one pot?
