>>2419724Yes, special circumstances call for special solutions. Imagine if everyone used a bear canister to keep mice out of their food when hanging it in a bag a few feet off the ground was sufficient. You’d take the bag pill, then wonder why you used a canister for so long. Then when you told people about the bag method, they’d say “well whatabout bears?” But you’d know that bears are an extremely minimal risk where you hike, so it’s a moot point.
>>2419731It’s true; the drops treat 30 gallons. That’s quite a bit, but certainly not infinite. They say you need 2-4 cups per hour of hiking. 10 hours of hiking per day would average 30 cups (for the Eurofriends following along, there are 16 cups per gallon). Call it two gallons per day, so about 15 full days worth. In practice it’s closer to 25. I view it like stove fuel; a specialty consumable that I need specifically for hiking.
