Blue_Ridge_Ninja member Registered: 09/09/11 Posts: 98 Loc: North Georgia	Boiling is the lightest method since there's no additional gear to carry, but is the least convenient. Chemical treatment is the simplest and second lightest method, but there's at least a 30 minute wait before you can drink. With filtering the water is instantly ready to drink, but is the biggest weight penalty.
