    Cleaning filter tubes

    At home, what would you use to clean water filter tubes. I have a Katadyn filter, which I love. Vinegar, bleach? hydrogen peroxide? There is no apparent mold in my tubes. Thx.

    I used to have thru-hiker envy, but any more, I find it more interesting to talk to section hikers because there's more of a variety of stories on how it gets done. My longest section of 6 was 126...

    I was there about July 9, when I crossed it as stated above. Was okay then. It must come up good with storms and go back to normal pretty quick.

    You shouldn't get wet. I was there over the fourth of July after it had been not dry and didn't get wet. I'd be more concerned about the climb up Moody Mtn. Straight up!

    I had black diamonds that broke. I really like to put weight on my poles. I'm not opposed to new poles, but would rather try to use what I have since I like them better than collapsable poles.
