Hmm. Very interesting article indeed. Kind of weird though how they jumped from bacteria remaining in bottles to the "biofilm"/filter topic.
I'll try the filling technique they describe. I typically use Aqua Mira now (I'm a former idione tablet user) and have never filtered water. How are others treating their water when in the backcountry?

Greg,
I am a former filter user, have converted to iodine plus Vit C (to deiodize) use a couple of years ago. OK, when you have a small pool of stagnant water a filter is very much appreciated, but I arrange my trips to have running water. It is lighter, but much more to the point it is a heck of a lot less work. Scoop up water, iodize, wait, put Vit C tablet in, drink.
