How confident would you be on a SHTF hike out? The replacement cartridge is high too but if one had the money it would be nice to have. For $500 one could have safe water for what 2 or 3 years. I will get this in the future. http://www.interamer.net/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=453 For now I have my eye on the Katadyn Combi Microfilter. Again a little pricey $180 but I get the field cleanable ceramic .2 micron filter that last 13,000 gal w/replacement cost $180 and the optional activated carbon filter for chemicals w/ replacement cartridge only $30. I think chemicals are a real problem in most populated areas, and certainly will be after the SHTF hike out. What do you all think?
