OMG! We recently purchased the Sawyer “Squeeze Water Filtration System” (Three Pouches) for our backcountry water filtering and we are soooooooooooooooo happy with the results!
“Tripper” would spend what-seemed-like-forever at a water source pumping-and-pumping-and-pumping water through our Pump Filtration System (all the while trying to position himself on a log or rock without falling into the water or without his leg or foot “falling asleep” due to its uncomfortable placement). Now, he walks up to the water source, dips a container (we are using our discarded “Backpacker’s Pantry Food Bag”) to capture the water and fill up the Squeeze Bags! That’s it! Capture the water and cleanse it while drinking or take the filled Squeeze Bags back to camp, squeeze the water through the filter and into your Drinking Bottles.
*Important: Don’t be impatient and try to force squeeze the water through the filter because you are so thirsty! If you need a drink right away, fill up the bag, hold up the bag and allow gravity to help bring the water through the filter (with you applying only a small amount of pressure)
Get this! You’ll be glad you did!
