How To Use Sawyer Squeeze Water Filtration System

How To Use Sawyer Squeeze Water Filtration System



Empire Sportsman Outdoors shows you how to use your Sawyer Squeeze Water Filtration System.

This is a light weight solution for backpacking or traveling abroad whenever you are unsure of the water conditions. Small and light weight will be every ultralight hikers friend. Easy to use this water filtration system can be purchased from places like rei.com or campmor.com

Step 1:
Remove the Cap from the bag and fill with water

Step 2:
Screw on the Water Filter to the bag

Step 3:
Roll up the bag from the bottom to push water through the filter

You can also attach the filter to any regular size thread water bottle from the local gas station or grocery store.

MSR Trailshot water filter review – ultralight backpacking filter

The MSR Trailshot microfilter is a great backpacking water filter enabling you to always have clean water when you are outdoors. It’s water treatment removes 99.99% of bacteria, protozoa and particulates. It’s filtration goes down to 0.2 microns and is perfect as a survival filter or for camping situations. In my opinion it’s easier to use than It’s competitor, the Sawyer Mini water filter but performs equally well on the trail.

Which do you prefer? The Sawyer filter or the MSR Trailshot?

Please note that it is not a water purifier and won’t remove pesticides or chemicals.
