Sawyer Water Filter Review Average Hiker

The Sawyer Water Filter Review describes a filter that is easy to use, reliable, and durable. After a lot of research, I decided to use this filter on my 2020 Colorado Trail hike.

Sawyer makes the Sawyer Squeeze and the Sawyer Mini.  The Sawyer Mini is a lighter filter, but I need a durable filter that is not prone to clogging like the Sawyer Mini Filter.  The Sawyer Squeeze is only one ounce more than the Mini.

Sawyer Water Filter Review – My Requirements

  • Bacteria & Protozoa Removal – I am not too concerned about virus removal since I mostly backpack and hike in the US.  If this changes, then I will look at alternatives like pump filters or chemical treatments.
  • Ease of Use – When I filter, I do not want a lot of moving parts like hoses, batteries, canisters, etc.
  • Light Weight – Weight is essential.  Filters and treatments are not that heavy, but a few extra ounces here and there eventually add up to a few extra pounds.

Ser mochilero siempre ha formado parte de mi vida y ha contribuido a la persona que soy hoy: independiente, seguro de mí mismo, autosuficiente, etc.

En la era de las redes sociales y la sobrecomunicación, me gusta compartir los conocimientos que he adquirido, pero en el fondo sigo siendo introvertido y me siento más cómodo extrayendo mi energía de la naturaleza que me rodea.

Después de 35 años, y más de 20.000 millas de mochilero y excursionista, espero que este sitio (siempre un trabajo en progreso) puede ofrecer algunos consejos y puntos de vista sobre el pasatiempo que amo.
