Did a quick search, and couldn't find this question.

Any feel for whether gravity filters are appropriate for solo backpacking?

I asked a buddy, who used one on a solo trip and then went back to his pump. He said it worked fine, but just seemed like a lot of extra fiddle factor for a single hiker; said he thought it was more appropriate for group use.

That's one opinion; I'd like some additional input from those of you who use them for one person. (The particular brand isn't relevant, only the convenience of gravity versus pump for one-person use.)
