Do you filter in the QP?

Never filtered for many years Mike.  We would just paddle out to deep water a few times per day and spend considerable time hand filling jugs for camp.  This got very tedious and if the wind was up, sometimes dangerous.  Once we purchased the base camper we could quickly fill the bag in deeper water while we were out for the day, paddle back and let it filter into a collapsible water jug all day or all night.    I don't think it is necessary to filter in the Q but since it is so much easier and convenient now we do it anyway.
