Re: nchiker1970 water filter
Here's another good idea..

Starting fires with a 9volt battery and steel wool..I've never seen that before.
Sorry..I know it's not related to your filter...consider it a side trip...

thats a good trick to show kids when you start teaching them about fire starting.

Re: nchiker1970 water filter
If you had an led light system that used a 9v battery...a little steel wool pad is light and could go a long ways along a trail for emergency purposes...
Filter..I wonder how fine the britas will filter out?...

Re: nchiker1970 water filter
thats a good point but i dont see a point. i usually carry atleast a couple ways to start a fire with me anyway and they work work rain or shine.
not to mention that if i had the steel wool with me the wife would try to use it oon my pots and i cant allow that to happen. they need to be cleaned not scrubbed thru!

Re: nchiker1970 water filter
I always wondered how the Brita filters would work on a DIY set-up. Thanks for the link 
Fine steel wool rusts faster than all get out. Murphy's law says it will be rusted completely when it comes time to use it. When the emergency arrives it will be raining and cold outside. Ain't I a cheerful one!!!

Re: nchiker1970 water filter
i sent nchiker a pm on youtube to tell him that i posted a link here about his filter. i always try to do that if i post a link to other peoples stuff or mention there ideas and names. here is what he sent me back...
i thought the extra info might be a good idea to post as well.Thanks, Glad this was a help. It is time tested too. I have used this set up for the last few years. I forgot to mention in the video that for really dirty water to place a cloth in the container to preserve the life of the filter, also the bleach or chemical can be added to the water prior to filtering it, just wait about 15-20 minutes before filtering. Thanks for the compliment and linking it to BPlite.

Re: nchiker1970 water filter
I realize they said to use this in combo with bleach. I assume the Britta filter is activated charcoal. I asked NCHiker and he doesn't know.
What exactly does it "filter"? Particulates? Bacteria? Viruses? To what micron size? Pesticides? Chemicals?
I'd be interested to know if it is a REAL filter or just a taste clean up.
