Filtering water 2 cents

Hello
Looking for your 2 cents for my up coming trip to IR. I have been using the Miniworks ex fliter. Now as a gift I have received a Steripen adventurer. Do you think its a waster of time, a good idea, cant hurt, don't bother, to use the steripen after filtering with the Miniworks.
Thanks

Iso-propane

Hello, heading to I.R. end of Aug. Will be flying into Windigo. Does the store there have iso-propane. It would suck to get there and not have any.
Thanks
