I heard rumours that Minnesota Smith..every single night would filter, treat, AND boil up to six liters of water. Is this really true?? If it is..Its a wonder he ever had time to hike out of Georgia let alone getting all the way!

Believe me that is one question to which you DO NOT want to know the answer.

So.

Anybody wanna place a bet on the date of the last post on The Thread? Closest without going over wins the pot.

DixCrit, Sarge 'n' T-Roll ineligible for obvious reasons.

I would predict disinterested volunteers by the droves except they're by and large, well,....disinterested.

Same problem the Republicans just had, isn't it?

You've got to read the entire Minnesota Smith thread to answer that question. But, don't do that to yourself, I gave up on it long ago.

MS is far to thrifty to waste postage on water. What he did include in his mail drops was dehydrated water which weighs far less.

I did not treat municipal water, first off. When I was going to make tea or hot chocolate, I filtered (via a single coffee filter and a small, food-grade, collapsible plastic funnel) the water for it, and then brought it to a boil. That was the only water I treated by boiling.

My usual way of treating water was to do the identical coffee filter routine, followed by Aqua Mira (a chlorine dioxide source). I figured that removing what hikers call "floaties" (bug parts, silt/sand, leaf fragments, bark, etc.) was useful in making the AM more effective. Plus, this encouraged me to drink more water, always a good thing while hiking, as CF-ed water doesn't result in crunching God-knows-what when you take water breaks. :eek: :-?

Don't confuse "disinterested" with "uninterested".

DWM's got it right, "disinterested" means someone who is not affiliated and is has no interest, or connection with a contest (for example). Disinterested people are used as impartial judges, juries, trustees, contest administrators, etc.

As for uninterested...we all know what that means... as in "I'm uninterested in being a disinterested referee" :D
