If you charcoal filter water after you treat it with chlorine or iodine it's pretty darn good. I can't taste either of them when doing that.

I've got a life straw. They're pretty cool. I haven't used it yet, but I keep carrying it with the intention to.

Maybe I'll try it this weekend. The Witch Hazel is blooming here right now and it's going to be in the 60šs this weekend. I found a hollow in the Hercules Glades Wilderness last year that's filled with it. I need to go there and wallow in it.
