>>2340151Would you recommend chemical treatment instead of filters for a weekend warrior? I live in Europe and do multi-day hikes, but not huge expeditions. The water in my country is considered to be very clean and there are almost no viruses, chemicals aren't too common either, it's just mostly bacteria and protozoa. Plus it's fairly easy to pass through towns and gas stations here to buy bottled water. Filters seem like a hassle if I only need to filter water maybe once or twice a month, so I'm leaning towards tablets or drops. Does the water even taste as bad as people say it does after using chemical treatment? I would mostly use it for cooking anyway and drink the water I already brought with me.
Currently have picrel in my medkit for a backup, but haven't tried them yet.
