best/lightest bag water filter?

[anarky321]

i want something you can hang off a branch, weighs 8oz or less altogether and that you can use to collect rainwater during a downpour

right now i have a Katadyn Pocket filter but i think im going to sell it because its too heavy for me

can be disposed of and rebuilt each night. Weighs only the weight of your water bottle (well, half of a 2 liter bottle)

Is there enough rainwater to survive on?

[anarky321]

i meant rainwater as a backup not as a primary water source

Even in a heavy downpour, you don't get much water unless you're gathering it over a wide area. A lot of rain--say 1 1/2 inches--is only a few ounces in a camping pot.

How much does your Katy pocket weight? I use a Sweetwater filter system. Iti s one piece of equipment I really rely on and use alot. It seems to do the job.

Rainwater does need to be filtered. You can collect it off a corner of your tarp if you pitch it correctly.
