Re: [Philmont]: Polar Pure Water ?

We used our aging troop water filters, not even purifiers. We carried
the Polar Pure. I don't remember anyone telling us it was mandatory,
but it may have been. We were on a short trek, with only six nights
in the backcountry, August 14-20, and of those six nights we had clean
Philmont water four nights (at Vaca, Sawmill, Cimarroncito, and
Clark's Fork) no water one night at Deer Lake Mesa, and a copious
stream at Lambert's Mine.

|  Is it manditory at Philmont to use Polar Pure , or can you use
|  another brand with the iodine taste nutralizer so the water tastes
