Water filter vs boiling on the JMT, I learned the hard way near Muir Pass
I spent 9 days on the John Muir Trail last August and only boiled water because I thought it was safer, but that meant stopping for an hour every morning and evening to cool it down. My buddy used a squeeze filter and finished camp chores in half the time, plus we both got zero stomach issues. Has anyone else ditched boiling for a gravity filter on longer stretches, or am I missing something about parasite risks?
