[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 1564091, member: 29323"] I'd have to guess that those that like the pumps aren't filtering much water. Once you go with gravity, you'll never go back. The Sawyer squeeze is great for walking along and getting a drink from the stream. I use it when I'm out fishing. I've used First Needs Purifiers & MSR Miniworks (kills even small viruses, but expensive), in a gravity system, but they are much slower. It gives you the option of pumping or gravity. I've also used the Steripen (only works with clear water, but it kills viruses). The coffee filter is great if the water is muddy or filled with pollen. The Sawyer and Steripen combination will kill everything. The best part of the Sawyer is that you can back flush it to clean it. Quick and easy. I use a Platypus 6 Liter container at the bottom. Just don't ever open the zipper. They don't go back together well unless it is really warm. [/QUOTE]
