Water Filter & Stove suggestions

Couple of questions what kind of stove would be suggested? Are propane tanks available?

I have a propane fueled stove, but any other recommendations?

Also, what kind of water filter suggestions would you give?

That takes care of the water filter issue. Any suggestion on cooking stoves... and fuel canisters.

While stoves are nice to have to do your own cooking,

unless you're planning on being "out there" a lot, they are just that much more to take. That being said, I'd take a multi-fuel stove, such as an MSR Whisperlite International . . . burns mostly everything from white gas to jet fuel to kerosene (though it can't burn cow dung) . . . propane is available mostly everywhere.
