Been out of the game (water filtration)

[bguitierez]

As the title states been on a hiatus but now I’m back to planning a backpack hunt. I’ve used a steripen classic for a while. Is there something better out there that’s come out over the last few years?

Hydrapack squeeze bag filter for backpack hunts. Katadyn BeeFree works as well but the Hydrapack clogs less. I used a BeeFree for a really long time. Both use the same threads so are interchangeable between bags.

I use a katadyn hike pro with a quick disconnect on my msr dromedary 4L in my pack. Filters great and I never have to pull my bladder out of my pack. I disconnect it and pour from the pack into a pot for boiling water.

Gonna look into this for sure!

I like the BeFree and the Hydrapak bags. But I’m at the point where I prefer the convenience of a Grayl, even with the weight penalty.

That’s cool these are all things I’ve not heard of so I’m glad I asked. Thank you.

Just do iodine tablets or aqua mira

I’ll second (third?) the hydrapak. Light and slim enough to wear in a soft bottle in running vest, can slam a whole liter through the filter straight from the bottle, then fill another bottle right afterwards.

We use cnoc bags and sawyer squeeze filters. Easy to fill, can squeeze through if you're in a hurry, or hang and gravity feed through it while setting up camp.

Exact same. Light & convenient, clogs less & backflushable.

Just curious, why not use the Sawyer bags?
