It's an old thread but still relevant.
I was asking the question about water filtration on a Bushcraft forum recently, when I came across the Water2go bottle. I bought one to try out before my trip as at £25 it seemed worth a go.
I've not come across anyone else using them and think they might be quite new on the market. All the testing credentials seem good, and it filters out everything you'd want to get rid of too.
Official testing results for Water-to-Go filtration
As well as that I'm considering taking some purification tablets with me. Can anyone recommend some?
Earlier in the thread someone mentioned that Lifesaver bottles were available cheap on ebay. I did a search and in deed they are. What's the deal with that? They are like a 1/3 of the price.
Finally on the subject of water filtration/purification, I'm wondering how safe it is when you see all these people in ride reports bathing in lakes, rivers, streams. seems like a good way to pick up something nasty.
