Gear Review – Sawyer Mini Water Filter

I’ve owned Sawyer Mini Water filter for over 4 years now. It’s a part of my travel kit always. From jumping across airports or for months at a stretch on my motorcycle.

We typically consume at least 2L of water a day(if you don’t, you should!). I consider myself quite trash conscious, so I make it a point not to buy bottled water. Infrastructure in cities, makes this relatively easy. Airports, malls, hotels all have some form of drinking water on tap. But when you’re in the middle of nowhere, it isn’t the best idea to drink from a stream that you’re unsure of.

Why use a plastic bag when you can simply screw on this end cap, specifically designed for Sawyer water filters?

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

For longer hikes, it’s convenient to carry a small backcountry water filter, such as a Sawyer Mini or Micro, which allows you to replenish your water from natural sources like streams or ponds.
