I just bought a Sawyer Squeeze and have a few questions for those that have used one:
1) How do you get your water from it? Do you drink straight from the filter? Do you set up a gravity feed system? Do you squeeze into clean containers? Are there other methods?
2) If you drink straight from the filter, do you use water bottles or platypus type containers?
3) If you gravity feed, do you use hose system or tornado tube?
4) Will I need a cup to fill or top off the bag at water sources?
If you are using this product, I would appreciate your input and advice. I bought one after being unsatisfied with the Katadyn Hiker Pro. The hiker Pro clogs to quickly and weights at least 4 times as much as the Sawyer Squeeze.
I am leaning toward drinking straight through the filter and carrying 2 platypus bags. I set up a gravity feed system with a homemade tornado tube. It took 9 minutes to filter 32 oz of water. Gravity system would be slow at water sources and would require dedicated dirty bag.

Non hikers are about a psi shy of a legal ball.
