Question:
There was an excellent write up of the different water filters and theirrespective strengths and weaknesses, here about two months ago. Anyonehave a copy? I'm looking for one for an upcoming solo trip to Alaska.

Answer: If you're talking about the Water Purification Distilled Wisdom file, itwill be coming around in a few days, I think (panel 9 in the series). Ifyou can't wait, I have a HTML version of the same thing on my Web page,with a link to REI's table of water filter comparisons. Check out:http://hs1304silver1.cpmc.columbia.edu/Alan_Dove/Rooms/Water.html

Of course, if you just want the water filter comparison chart, you canfind it at http://www.rei.com
