Filtering Water

[Edge]

For sure the sawyer mini is a great set up I almost built a set up for that deal. One thing kept me out of that market, several times water was not to be found and I had to or me and my partner had to pump water from a very small puddle or trickle and with the sawyer you need to be able to dip your dirty bag to fill it or dip water bottles to us or something and that would not have worked well in these situations. So I stayed with the pump. If you know you can dip water where your at the sawyer is awsome.

But in that situation and you needed a drink, comes with a straw. Maybe with the supplied syringe you could draw out water. Either way, I got one.

I picked up a sawyer mini to put in my hunting pack. I dont do overnight in the bush yet, but I want to soon. I will have this for later or the unintended night out.

My gravity works is a similar setup to the sawyer mini and I have been in areas where I couldn't fill my dirty bag so I resorted to "scooping" or "pushing" water in. Took a little longer but I had 8L's of water and still finished 15 mins faster than a guy who had the Ketadyne pump and a 6L bag. Definitely pro's and cons to both but I have ran about 40L through my gravity works and love it. And the carbon element to improve taste was a big help.

I have the platypus gravity system also. Have used it for years. I like how it mates up with the Plautus storage bags. I also have their drinking tube which mates to all the bags eliminating the need for a bladder. Great product
