We are hiking the main trail this Friday 8/18 and I'm switch from my old large Pur hiker filter (Pur was purchased by Katadyn) to the smaller MSR TrailShot. Intake tube on MSR TrailShot is much shorter.
I understand last water available is at switchback 23. Does the water pool there for pumping, or does the water need to be first collected into a container "dirty bottle" and pumped from the dirty bottle into a clean bottle?
If anyone has used the MSR Trail Shot on the Whitney Main trail, I'd love to hear how it worked out. Thank you in advance!
