Getting ready to transition from day hiking to backpacking. Would love to get some feedback on water filtration and backpacking stoves...
Your choice of Gear is Excellent....periodI use the Katadyn Hiker Pro filtration system and the Pocket Rocket stove. I keep chlorine tabs as a back up. If you are looking at the Katadyn pumps, there is the Hiker and the Hiker pro. The Hiker Pro has better fasteners when connecting and disconnecting the hoses. It is worth the few extra bucks.
I have used several stoves and like the Pocket Rocket (MSR). It will boil a few cups of water in under 2 minutes. Fuel is cheap, and lasts a long time. Depending on how light you travel at, you may want to look at the benefits of an alcohol stove too. I personally don't like them, but know guys that won't touch anything else.
