Two years ago, my son and I went on a 12 day Philmont trek. The first day we had a gear shakedown. The guide looked at my gear and said that I would not be needing my Sawyer Mini or my MSR Gravity Filter, and that we would be using the Katadyn MP1 tablets.
I was really skeptical as I have used the iodine tabs in the past and the water tastes like crap and takes forever.
With the MP1 tablets, there was no taste and it took about 15-20 minutes for the water to be safe. We had 2 adults and 10 boys. Not one of us got sick over the 12 days with lots of water being filtered.
One convenience for the Sawyer is that I can filter the water without having to take my water bladder out of my backpack
For my upcoming elk hunting trip - curious as to why I should not use the MP1 tablets over the Sawyer Mini Squeeze.
Your thoughts?
