Seems like more people carrying filters rather than tabs. Would you guys say the filters are superior to the purification tabs?

Should ask on one of D-rocks threads.   He is taking H20 and planning to carry him all over the mountain for archery elk.   :chuckle:

I carry 200 0z or 5lts. I get sick if I dont drink alot of water. Its alot  of weight but I got H20 and I carry a  surplus canteen that has a thing that I can boil water with. Only had to boil water water once and I was up in the olympic national forest.

You should seriously look in a Seychelles bottle and utilizing water sources.  200 oz of water?  That's a friggin gallon and a half!
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I usually only carry a 20 oz bottle for an all day hike hunt.  Rarely does it come back empty and often, it comes back full.  Not a great thing to do, but my body doesn't require as much water as many others.

My buddy is like this. He hardly ever drinks any water when were out and its not hot.

2 full water bottles like you get in the 24 pack at wal mart and a $7 straw filter.  fill the bottles with stream water and drink through the straw if I need more than the 2 bottles I started with

usually over a half gallon on me.  But right before I set out in the morning, I'll drink about a 32 oz bottle.  I used to be like mtnmuley and only take a little bottle and never really drink much, never felt I needed too.  One thing that was pushed hard by our drill instructors was drinking lots of water.  We would have to drink an entire canteen, refill and drink, refill.....would probably drink 10 a day and now it just feels wrong to not drink tons of water.

I usually carry a 32 ounce bottle in my day pack and keep a one gallon jug at camp.  Just depends on the area I'm going into has a water source or not.

I think you'd be purely amazed at how well some of the bottle filters work.  I'll drink dirty ditch water with my seychelles bottle and nothing but sweet clean water is what comes through.  I can squeeze it and fill a 2-liter.

Depends on hunting trip.  However I usually carry my 100oz bladder, a 16oz bottle, iodine tablets and instant gatorade single serving mixes.  Sometimes I don't fill the bladder all the way or I wont bring thr gatorade.  But I always bring the iodine tablets and the bladder.
