I usually hike in the desert so I am always carrying my water. Last time I hiked Whitney I brought a filter but since I have tried to lighten my load . What is everyone using, filter or chemical? Is the water clear enough to capture in a Nalgene then treat and drink or do I need to pre-filter with a coffee filter or bandanna? From previous experience I know this topic is usually split 50 - 50.
