I got one of these, a little expensive but you can filter water right out of the river or lake. It’s portable too.
I was watching one of the scientific channels last night and they were talking about activated charcoal, the filtering chemical in these devices.
They showed a table (possibly a tea...) spoon and stated that it had as much surface area as a football field.
Amazing...
A berkey cannot remove dissolved toxins, just embolisms.
Any outdoors store carried those filters. We use them in Scouts
