Re: [Philmont]: Water filters / purifiers

I am continually amazed at the number of folks that take filters to Philmont
because they are concerned about taste of the water. If you don't like the
water, you are really going to be in trouble with the food. I would encourage
everyone to give Polar Pure a chance. Buy a bottle and use it on your
shakedown hikes. We have used Polar Pure for years, not only at Philmont but on the
Alagash in Maine, along the White Mountains in New Hampshire, canoeing the
Fulton Lake chain of lakes in the Adirondacks, and along the Appalachian Trail in
the Smoky Mountain National Park without a hitch. No moving parts, pretty
simple instructions.
