Luddite Jean recommended the Aquagear water filter [1], available in the U.K. She commented “I have used these, and have drunk some very dodgy-looking creek water with no ill-effects after being filtered through this bottle. Best of all, it’s instantaneous. It’s not meant for large-scale water purification, but as a back up, and for G.O.O.D. [2] situations, it will save carrying potable water. I have one per family member at the moment, and will be buying extra the next time I see them at show prices.”
