Hydration system
I purchased the new Sawyer squeeze filter system to replace my old filter and it will be used in the same way.
Top to bottom: Platypus 2 liter water reservoir with sipping hose, Crystal Geyser water bottle, Sawyer Squeeze filter, Sawyer filter adapter, Sawyer Squeeze bag.
I will carry the filled Platypus to tide me over between water sources . Using the Crystal Geyser bottle and filter I will drink from streams and lakes along the way.
In camp I will use the Squeeze bag as my "dirty" bag, filling it from the water source and, with filter attached, refill my "clean" platypus reservoir.
Total weight: 4.7 oz
New note post trip: The filter is great but the squeeze bag design leaves much to be desired. Will leave at home in the future (probably throw out). The crystal Geyser bottle worked very well and is all I really needed as a squeeze bottle.
UPDATE 7/2015: Have replaced this filter with the Sawyer Mini Filter system and love it.
