I'm not planning to live indefinitely off my EDC or even BOB, my priorities are:
- Function
- Size
- Weight
- Availability
- Cost
If I have to live off the grid long enough to exhaust my supply of filters I would still have a bandanna and articles of clothing (either packed spares or what's on my body).
In a 2012 situation I could also break into any Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks to "borrow" more filters, and there seems to be no street corner in the country that doesn't have one or the other.
Been spending too much time on those TEOTWAWKI sites, Mark
. Just suggesting we need to think more about reusable resources. Of course you should have more than one option and a bandanna or clothing item could be used in a pinch. Just considering this as an alternative to our disposable coffee filters. Maybe I'll save the cost and shipping and just buy an extra white handkerchief to do the job
.
