I' m getting a belly ache just reading about the " flamin' squirts" . Sounds pretty bad. Can' t get by without plenty of good, clean water, for sure.

I' ve got one of those PUR water purifier, which I haven' t tried out in the woods yet. But I think it' s a good idea to have some sort of backup like that in case a person gets stuck out in the back country longer than expected and the water jug runs out.
