I'll call bovine scatology on that:

Not clear to me what there is *not* designed for backpackers.

I've used the pristine brand of this for years. aquamira is the exact same thing. I'm not sure what ndsol's problem with it is, but trust me it works just fine and a lot of people use it. Read the directions and use it appropriately.

The brand is basically irrelevant - look for "chlorine dioxide" - in either tablet or liquid mix form. PUR makes some of the same thing too, as does katydyn micropur, etc.
