[pct-l] Fwd: Sawyer Squeeze Water filter?

[Daniel Zellman]

Check out the Platypus GravityWorks: http://www.rei.com/product/813799/
platypus-gravityworks-water-filter.

We used it on a five-day hike out on the AT last year and loved it -- so
much that we bought a second one and are planning on using them for our
2013 PCT thru-hike. With two of us each carrying one system, we'll be able
to carry a total of 8 liters of water each if needed, and with a filter
life of approx 1,500 liters two filters should more than get us the whole
way. (We're planning on putting an extra filter and a spare set of bags in
our bounce box in case of accidents, etc.)

I am considering carrying the Sawyer squeeze water filter as well as
tablets. the reviews say the bags break, which I'm not to worried about as
that I would probably use a plastic water bottle anyways. Do any of you
fine folk have experience with this product, tips for use, or other ideas?

Thanks

Andy

I used it with no problems for about 5-600 miles last year.  The link below
is my review of the product.
