No, I have no filter system and draw f.rom a depth of about six feet. For drinking and cooking I use municipal water that's been treated with chlorine and fluoride and carry it in a big blue carry jug.....just like a wannabe islander....except I use the lake water for brushing teeth etc, with no known illnesses so far. The two stroke oil was a joke.
In an unheated camp to be used in the winter, probably a 4" diameter, hand ice auger, and a large, Thirsty Mate hand bilge pump could be used along with a 5 gal bucket. It takes just two minutes to drill a 4" diameter hole through 12" of ice with a hand ice auger. Total cost $75. or less, and no worries about electricity or freeze-ups or gasoline engines.. Best to keep it simple.
