	Too late someone has just done it, a flask which you pump to force the water through special filters.... __________________ health warning: These posts may contain traces of nut.

	I'm also an avid backpacker and travel to some out of the way locales (eg:in East Africa). I have used a ceramic filter for most waters, but I also use my Steripen for final purification. It's light and effective, and can be used without a filter if the water is not "cloudy". __________________ A solemn thought: At the end of the day, when all the History books are written, we will all reap exactly what we have sown.

	Boots (usual disclaimer) sell water sterilisation tablets for taking to far-flung places; they are small enough for a pack to be slipped into a pocket. One may find Boots stores in high streets across this country and at airports. __________________ Although no trees were harmed while making this post, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced...
