And a howdie doodie to you too.... I think I bumped into you, that looks like the MRT, my buddy and I met you at the stream on the north side getting water.... If that was you cool to see you found your way here.... If not still cool that you found this great resource for hammock camping and backpacking....

Yup, that was me! You're right about it being the Manistee River Trail. Did you see my other thread?

We were totally impressed with your filter system. I tried looking for instructions here, but came up empty. Can you point me in the right direction?

Try this water filter video, there are lots of different designs out there.... I used a Wally World drybag, a 99.99% water filter from dunhams, some plumbing fittings, a little seam sealer, camel back valve I had laying around, and a few other misc parts.... leaks a little but who cares.... I hate pumping for a large group and this works just fine, not as fast as commercial units but who's timing me out there anyways...

Think I had $15 into it with a two pack of filters...
