Something that came up on my feed today... Easily see the potential for this technology being adapted to the outdoor community. Pretty neat.

That is a pretty neat invention, I think I'll stick to my Lifestraw or Sawyer for convenience, ease of use, and lighter weight.

Claimed a single piece of paper can do up to 30 days of filtering, the whole book 4 years. Trickle this tech down and I'm imagining a water purification system, sufficient for most people's 2 day to 2 week long trips that weighs a couple grams not a couple ounces. That would be sweet. We'll see where, if anywhere this goes.

That is a neat piece of equipment, and only carrying a single sheet of paper could make trips a little lighter.  I browsed the website, but couldn't find any info on the pore size of the filter.  Anyone know what size it is?

I've been using these for years.  They work great!

I don't know what the question is - but the answer is: Lubrication!
