When using a millbank bag where do you catch the filtered water?
If your going to boil it to treat the water I guess you would catch it in your billy (or whatever you use) and then boil it, job done.
If you are going to chemically treat it do you have two water bottles, one clean and one 'dirty'?
If you only have only one bottle surely there would be a chance that untreated water may contaminate the outside of the bottle (threads or cap) and then pass on the contamination to you. I know you should flood your bottles when filling, but if you only have the treated water in the bottle...
Could you maybe invert the bottle and loosen the cap so some treated water flushes the threads and cap?
How do you get around this?
I may be being a bit dim here and am missing the obvious so if anyone can put me straight before I poison myself I'd be gratefull!
