[QUOTE="aussiefarmer, post: 383080, member: 5729"] The bigger the surface area the finer the screen can be , so your picture has aprox 8 sq inches of surface area , jembas is aprox 30 sq and headsup aprox 50 sq. So if you went big enough you could draw sufficient water through bed sheet material. Bigger area also allows longer for the screen to block up with crap. Thats where a good thick spud bag (not one of those see through fellas) with 2 rocks and a stick in it will give you upto 150 square inches of filter. I love the look of that platypus strainer :Y: A bag a stick to hold it open inside and a big cable tie will get you out of trouble until you get one. [/QUOTE]
