What variety of apples did you use?

Did you use regular table sugar in this batch? table sugar can impart a cider flavor.

Agreed! I don't know how long your trips are going to be but carrying enough water for more than two days can be extremely heavy. I've been using the MSR Mini-Works filtration device and I've no problems with at all, it screws right onto a nalgene bottle. Man, I could talk backpacking for hours!

You could just scale down recipes to 4 gallon batches, that would be the easiest way. Or you could use a blow-off tube. I've never used one so I don't know if 5gs of brew in a 5g carboy can take that much blow!:confused:
