[pct-l] inline Sawyer Filter

[Chris Anderson]

:) nice touch with the canister tip...thanks both of you for the info...you guys make any mods to your system?  I just got one today and can say I'm immediately putting the faucet attachment in the closet, the strap is getting changed for some cord, and i may swap the connections onto some lighter food grade tubing that i have laying around for brewing...and i think i could modify the cap to have a screen built in so i dont have to filter nasty water...just dunk and go

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.
