You may be able to scan it with the photocopier at work and save it as a pdf instead of printing the copy...then you could read it on your computer while he has the book. A lot of newer copiers have...

I'm leaving March 16 for my thru and I was hoping to get the new CleanStream filter, so I emailed Platypus to find out when it will be available. Here's what I received from them this morning:
...

This is great advice. Keep it comin' if anyone else has anything to add. I've got a couple different people meeting me at different times, so I need as many ideas as you have. Thanks!

We've done a bunch of hiking in the Whites and she'll be doing some weekend hikes with me there, but we're thinking of meeting further south for a week to hike where neither of us have been before. ...

Thanks, LW. Shenandoah was my first thought, but we haven't been able to find transportation to/from the park. Can you point us in the right direction for transportation? And do you think the...

My girlfriend is planning to come down from Boston to join me for a week of my thru-hike, but where not sure where or when yet. Any suggestions?

We're looking for a good week-long section,...

I've been using baking soda for at least 4 months now, trying to get used to it before my thru. I went to my dentist for a cleaning last week and they said my teeth looked great and there was hardly...

Nice job, DMB. I love simple but really useful innovations like that. I recently decided to go with a closed-cell sleeping pad because I didn't feel like blowing up my inflatable pad every night. ...

I REALLY wanna get the new Platypus CleanStream that's coming out for my thru. It's a hollow-fiber filter, though, and I know that they're sensitive to freezing temps. I'm leaving NOBO March 16 and...

I just got an Aquamira Frontier Pro. It's' pretty cool, but I don't think I'd want to use it as my sole filter on a long distance trip.

I screwed the filter onto a water bottle thinking there...

I'm really looking forward to Platypus's new CleanStream gravity filter system (link). I'm planning on just buying the filter (link) and using my existing equipment (watter bladder, etc.) with it. ...

The Autoflow isn't available yet. I've contacted the company and they don't have an exact availability date yet...they're just saying Spring 2008.

Since MSR and Platypus are both Cascade Designs...

mudhead,
Are you referring to these? ... link

Great idea, fivel. Maybe I'll try that. I'll keep looking and think about how much work it would be to make some.

It's the circumference that's too small...thinking I might make my own out of Tyvek, but that's a lot more work than I was hoping for. Maybe I'll take a look at the OR ones hopefulhiker mentions...

I'd get a regular bladder instead of using the zip-shut kind. I have the Platy 3L bladder and I love it. The only drawback is that the inside takes a while to dry when you aren't using it because...

I've been looking for some short gaiters but I have pretty thick calves and I can't seem to find any that will wrap all the way around my calf comfortably. Any other 'big boned' people who have...

Thanks for the replies. Maybe the Frontier Pro is too slow for me...I know it will be frustrating if I have to wait an hour for water when I want it (Aquamira told me the flow rate is ~2 liters per...

I'm really interested in the Aquamira Frontier pro filter system. I want to use it as a gravity feed system, but I'm wondering if it's possible to attach tubing from the outlet of the filter to my...

I have a Big Agnes Seedhouse SL1...I love it, but the one think I don't like is the way the vestibule door flap zipper works...when it's zipped up, you have to reach down to the very end of the...

I just heard back from Aquamira. Turns out the description they give is 3 microns, but it's actually .3 microns. Maybe it's like when I talk about plastic sheeting that's .2 mil and I always just...

I was all excited about this one, too, but I just noticed that the description says it uses a "3 micron" filter. Most other filters are .3 or .2 (notice the decimal point). Don't know how this can...

Read this review that Mocs posted...it makes it sound like it's not all it's promised to be. It was heavier than advertised, delicate, and there are freezing issues, which could be a big problem on...

Wow, that looks awesome. I have a Platypus bladder and a bigger Platy water bag for scooping water out of a stream...sounds like I could connect the Frontier Pro between them, hang the water bag...

Here's my recent correspondence w/Cascade Designs...

From me:
I'm wondering about the new HyperFlow Microfilter that you have coming out soon. Is it still set to hit the shelves in Februrary? ...
