Re: Water Filters, Chemicals or Sterilights, what do you use

Think it's horses for courses.......I rarely filter water any more unless I'm forced to use still water...... Any Kadykyn or MSR filters will do the job if your caught on still and or dirty water + a tablet.............Meaning if you need to filter you still need a tablet.........

Got Tim Lows little tome the other week and what a great book it is........In the Forward was a statement saying that the Aborigines stayed hunter gatherers and didn't become farmers simply because they didn't have to...If you can gather enough food to feed your family in an hour why would you bothe...

I use bone on the Woomera so that it can be replaced............I find that using fletches helps make a difference in regards to straightening the flight of spears with differentiating spine but once you have your action sorted bare shafted spears are quieter and quicker...........
