Im sure it is, I was just asking. I have a Katadyn Vario, but thought this may be a route to add additional filtration.

It's only 2oz...so probably wouldn't hurt anything to add it.

 

[HardcoreHunter]

My thoughts exactly, just ordered it.

If you have any trouble pulling water through it you might try moving it closer to the bite valve. I use the full size sawyer and have it down towards the valve. Please let us know how it works out for you and if it flows water fast enough.

 

[HardcoreHunter]

Will do!

Used it today...no problems at all getting water through it.

Have you used any less than perfect water yet ? I'm wondering how fast it will clog up being so much smaller than the squeeze filter body. I should probably start a new thread and not derail this one.

Started a new thread for the Sawyer Mini

I haven't used it with dirty water yet...installed today & first use was out of the hose

You'll be back flowing like a mother, so try not to use dirty water.

Aron have you used both? I have not had that issue with the original, but I do know the mini is quite a bit smaller.

 

[Aron Snyder]

If it's silty water, it clogs fast.

Same for both of them.

So Going back to the Photos of the Xing with the Nomad Aron did in this post http://www.kifaruforums.net/showthread.php?t=35295&page=3 . I have a Xing and now the Nomad. So going try this combo out.

See how it works.

When you say "try", does that mean a couple trips around green mountain with us....or in the living room?

Don't hate me!

Its a process Aron I try it out in the living room and if it makes sense then it makes it to the field. and I've concluded the Xing is left best as its own pack.

Arse!

Me and Colton spent about 3 hours shooting at the shop yesterday. Him and his wife are wonderful people. Had a great time shooting and shooting the $h!t with them.
Doh off topic back to the nomad trying out a mega pullout with a small ul pod on the bottom now.

I use a Sawyer mini as well. Inline filtration so I can just dip my bladder in the creek. I keep a small clean bladder to fill when fresh water is available, too. And iodine tabs in the emergency kit.

The gear to clean the Sawyer is very small/lightweight so it's in the kit too.

The E&E , Zippy and X ray work best....Xing is a little big.

I'm really liking the back pouch on mine. I just clip it to the horizontal straps of the Nomad and it gives me a very accessible extra 1000 c.i. without adding a lot of weight.

Back pouch is my favorite, but for packs, the 3 I listed are best (As far as packs go).

Looking at taking the plunge on the bikini/nomad combo. Can I use the Grabit to carry my bow and also use a long pocket or med pod below the wings. I am unsure if I can attach both for use simulate lushly or if the lower pocket would interfere. Also I use a 35 ATA bow if that makes a difference.
