Here is what was my almost instantaneous response from the founder of RapidPure.

Good afternoon,Thank you for your interest in our RapidPure water filtration products. Regarding your question on...

Oh, I almost forgot to say, "Thanks!" for helping me consider issues that had not occurred to me.

I contacted the manufacturer in reference to the question of freeze tolerance, and what their in-use track record is, regarding clogs. Of course they will give me the "rose colored glasses" answer,...

Yes, the manufacturer's link claims it is superior to the Katydin and Sawyer systems, which I have read good things about. I am hyper-alert to the possibility of picking up bugs via water because I...

Thank you for the info! I was expecting cooler weather, but knowing specifics is a great thing!

Howdy, Neighbor! We're less than 2 miles from Barksdale.

I had never heard of the "International AT" until I stumbled upon this site! So very cool! We're doing the trail in sections--looks like now we have a bunch more sections we can tackle! Love it!

What a beautiful girl!

Someone said a lab could smell a waterin' hole 5 miles away but my lab, Buzzy, is scared tee-totally-to-death of water!

Wishing you many years of puppy hugs and kisses,...

We'll be working our way to Springer starting October 9th, from Big Butt, NC. Perhaps you can join us along the trail whenever you have a few days off work?

Semper Fi, friend. Opa and I are retired Marines, and we are heading out from Big Butt, NC, on October 9th, heading south to Springer Mountain. Would be glad for the company for all or part of that...

We're heading out October 9th, from Big Butt. Maybe we can plan to connect somewhere. Seems like your travel schedule and ours could be sympatico.
