[pct-l] inline Sawyer Filter

[Bob Bankhead]

Put the filter system into a quart ziplok bag (to contain the leaks), zip it
closed, and toss it into the foot box of your quilt or sleeping bag. That
will keep any liquid from freezing and potentially damaging the filter. 

Stove gas canisters get the same treatment - minus the ziplok bag - to
assure a trouble-free start for breakfast.

Does anybody have any experience with damage to the filter from freezing,
and if so, any tips on how to not let that happen?  I suppose if I know its
going to get below freezing and I don't think it is fully dry I could toss
it in an extra item of clothing and put it in my bag with me.
