All water needs to be run through a pre-filter. Try a disposable coffee filter.

@azmtnman1 Hi! As for alcohol stoves in high wind - I guess I did my best in my recent video here :D But yes, it's tricky for an unexperienced person. Cheers!

@KIFQHESE We didn't a great example of a Alcohol stove but the are a very valid method of cooking. Very popular with the ultra light crowd. Can be tricky in the wind. I have used the homemade style before. Thanks for watching -The Crew from the shack

@5ghostshadow Its not an exact science. Both elevation and temperature act on the pressure. I've gotten them lit at 0 degrees f at 3000 ft but had the fail at 10 degrees at 8000ft. When in doubt use white gas such as the whisperlite. Keeping the cansiter in your sleeping bag helps and jetboil seems to work a little better.

water treatment drops offer same protection without the chlorine taste of the tablets

@5ghostshadow they work well upto about 2500 metres where i live in new zealand and that would probably be about minus 10 degrees
