What water source, like pumping from a stream or lake?
I've seen videos of overlanders doing it, with a 12v pump mounted under the hood of their Toyota.
I'd pretty skeptical of any compact mechanical filter with a high flow rate being able to clear biologic contamination from the water.
Dunno why I have that phobia, since I've consumed water from various lakes and streams over my years and haven't been struck down yet. I guess the difference is taking a quick drink while swimming versus filling a container to drink from for the day or days?
