[pct-l] Sawyer PointOne Squeeze Water Filter System

[John Abela]

Hey All,

I updated the article (
http://hikelighter.com/2012/03/06/sawyer-pointone-squeeze-water-filter-system/
) since I posted it and it now contains details on the following for
points of discussions:

bag durability,
getting the filter to playing nice with other bags,
using alternative washers,
information and a couple of cool ideas for how to deal with backwashing it.

John
