Looks like we are moving on to water/food/cooking.
Let's deal with water purification first, then storage.
I was holding a bunch of bleach till I saw the pool chlorine light. Great idea, much more compact and suited for long-term storage.
For portable use, I have an MSR Miox. Great device, very compact. Used with a coffee filter or fine mesh strainer to remove the particulates, it provides potable water in almost all circumstances using just salt and power from CR 123 batteries.
Boiling water to purify it is, IMHO, a big waste of fuel, unless you have no other means or unlimited fuel.
Anyone else have any different techniques for making potable water?
