Water filtration system
Mitchell Clark, former staffer
While all the previous entries are by current staff members, we can’t resist including this entry by Mitchell Clark, who left us recently in order to walk from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail. One of the items that he took with him was this squeeze water filtration system, which he described as follows:
“I’ll be drinking out of rivers, streams, ponds, and the like, all of which can have some nasty stuff in them that’ll make me sick. To keep that from happening, I’ll be filtering it through a Sawyer Squeeze, which gets rid of bacteria and protozoa.”
