(QUOTE) "I know the WATER threads are too many, but.. "
Actually, I think that we don't discuss water ENOUGH !!! It is widely acknowledged as the #1 survival need,(mostly, that is) yet, threads on this subject are dwarfed by guns-N-ammo threads.
I started with a $65 MSR ceramic-pump filter from Sportsmansguide,then got a Katadyn Camp Filter, and finally bit the bullet and got a Big Berkey ( which we now use daily filtering county water). I got two extra black filters when I bought it, but have since gotten several extra ceramic filters, because I'm trying to prepare to make filters for un-prepped family from 5-gallon buckets, if necessary.
Remeber,folks,NOTHING is as critical as water !! If you can't swing the bucks for the whole Berkey shebang, you can get a pair of 7" ceramic filters from Berkey Guy for under $60, delivered !!! ( He's a forum member )These come with the necessary washer and nut, and along with a plastic bucket, you can build a top quality unit that will filter several thousand gallons.
As easy and cheap as this is, there is no excuse for leaving this base uncovered.:thumb:
