Backpacking gear continues to surprise me... here is a survival piece that I wish I had in my kit but bought an early version I haven't worn out yet. I think this is a good back up to the Sawyer Squeeze if it gets too clogged on the trail. From a hiking with the grand daughter - its a cool moment when I can take water out of a stream in a bottle and suck the water out. Sometimes it tastes better than home. As soon as the old one wears out - I will replace it with this.

Be wise enough to walk away from the nonsense around you!
