tramp member Registered: 01/24/12 Posts: 119 Loc: WV	I use a Sweetwater filter. Has served me well for 10+ years of intermittent use. I fill a pot with water and let it sit a bit before filtering and use the pre-filter which help keep the fine stuff from clogging the filter element. I also carry iodine for emergency use.
