[pct-l] Fwd: Camlbak All Clear

[Mike Cunningham]

Those old Sawyer squeeze bags that now leak around the neck can be cut off about halfway down & make a great scoop. Folds flat, rolls up when not in use & weighs under 10 grams.

 Set up properly and with
 a relatively clean filter, a gravity feed is not
 much slower than simply squeezing the bag. 
 Usually takes just a few
 minutes to fill a
 liter.  And yeah you need something to fill with.  A
 simple scoop works as noted, and I've used
 stiff leaves to channel water
 and always
 carry a straw for those seeps.  The straw works well.
