In a smaller PSK, how much water-purifying tabs do you include and what type? I carry 10 Micropur Forte MF 1T in my kit. Is that a good choice?

hey jim :just a side line to your story...i found today at R.E.I. portable aqua(chlorine dioxide tablets) in FOIL PACKETS ....should be a bit more compact to store in a survival tin than the old style bottle...i had never seen them in this type of package ....sorry if it's old news.......vince g 11b inf......

Think first about your potential use of chemical agents. If you have a good cooking vessel and fire, boiling is far more efficient. If your travelling fast or without fire then the tablets are a better strategy. I use Potable Aqua. In the smaller vial I can fit @ 40 of the 50 sold. Thats lots of clean water- assuming I ever use the things before time degrades another supply <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
