But for a 72 hour survival scenario in a N. American wilderness area, water treatment falls very low on my list. Water itself ranks high, but treating that water ranks low.
Fair enough- when you're talking 10 items you have to draw the line somewhere. Yet purification tablets are extremely compact and pretty inexpensive. Even a small vial of household bleach will kill most stuff.
Points well taken. Which is why that purification means IS in the top 30 although it didn't make the top ten.
Based on everyone's input and the ensuing discussion, I've made some revisions/clarifications to the list. I'll post them in bit.
