　　The blizzard was somewhat unexpected. I woke in Breckenridge, Colo., to 8 inches of fresh snow and more in the air. 　　Id planned to go skiing, but a stomach bug and a pending chore stymied my plans. I needed to get up to Leadville to grab some gear for a buddy, and the roads would be horrible. Oh well, I...

　　With over 30 years of hiking, backpacking, and camping, I’ve used my fair share of water filters. For years, I swore by the MSR MiniWorks. Then I used its HyperFlow Microfilter for a while.
