Sawyer Water Filter Review Average Hiker

The Sawyer Water Filter Review describes a filter that is easy to use, reliable, and durable. After a lot of research, I decided to use this filter on my 2020 Colorado Trail hike.

Sawyer makes the Sawyer Squeeze and the Sawyer Mini.  The Sawyer Mini is a lighter filter, but I need a durable filter that is not prone to clogging like the Sawyer Mini Filter.  The Sawyer Squeeze is only one ounce more than the Mini.

Sawyer Water Filter Review – My Requirements

  • Bacteria & Protozoa Removal – I am not too concerned about virus removal since I mostly backpack and hike in the US.  If this changes, then I will look at alternatives like pump filters or chemical treatments.
  • Ease of Use – When I filter, I do not want a lot of moving parts like hoses, batteries, canisters, etc.
  • Light Weight – Weight is essential.  Filters and treatments are not that heavy, but a few extra ounces here and there eventually add up to a few extra pounds.

Sawyer Water Filter Review – Quick Specifications

  • Filter Material – Hollow Fiber
  • Weight – 3 oz
  • Removes – Bacteria, Protozoa, E. Coli, Giardia, Vibrio Cholera, Salmonella typhi, Microplastics

배낭여행은 항상 제 삶의 일부였으며 독립심, 자신감, 자급자족 등 오늘날의 저를 만드는 데 기여했습니다.

소셜 미디어와 소통이 넘쳐나는 시대에 제가 얻은 지식을 공유하는 것을 좋아하지만, 저는 여전히 내성적인 성격으로 주변의 자연에서 에너지를 얻는 것이 가장 편합니다.

35년 동안 2만 마일이 넘는 배낭여행과 하이킹을 해온 저는 이 사이트(항상 진행 중인 작업)가 제가 좋아하는 취미에 대한 팁과 통찰력을 제공할 수 있기를 바랍니다.

The baby wrap method has been tested in only this one trial, but it cut malaria cases by a greater margin that the vaccines have in some studies.

In future, I’ll use gravity when I can, and squeeze when I have to.
