For emergency portableness, Milletts the camping people have some kind of filter that fits inside a water bottle - I think they're calling it a bobble ...

Yep, they are http://www.millets.co.uk/browse/bobble.html

For me there is only one portable - Lifesaver bottle. You can even p*ss in it and drink it without any second thoughts

It's easy to find water, not so easy to find clean water. I wouldn't trust any non-standard source without filtering/purifying or boiling it.

had a look on ebay for the lifesaver bottle, £138.00 on there, went to the lifesaver website and they are selling them direct for £99 inc VAT!! still expensive but worth it.

Of course you can let the water settle, run it through a cloth then boil it. Dead cheap.

I just bought 2 lifesaver bottles and am planning to get another 2 for the stock pile (2 will be used when camping, abroad, etc.)
