Sawyer Squueeze Water Filter
In just a few days, winter hiking season will end and it is time to set our sights on spring hiking, longer days and warmer temperatures. To commemorate the change in season, I am raffling off the updated version of the Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter System (click here for the Sawyer Squeeze Review I published last year)
Weighing just 3 ounces, the squeeze water filter screws onto a soft hydration reservoir (included). To filter lake or stream water, fill the hydration reservoir and roll or squeeze it to push water through the filter into a clean container. It’s a great litle system and I used it all last year when I wanted filtered water fast. I plan on using the Squeeze again this year, starting with my coast-to-coast backpacking trip across Scotland, this May.
This year’s updated Squeeze system comes with a single 32 ounce water reservoir and a big plastic syringe for periodically backflushing (cleaning ) the filter. Sawyer says they’ve improved the durability of the included water reservoir, which leaked and failed frequently last year.

My wife named my pack “C’mon Baby.” I used a new pack during our week on the west coast of Canada (West Coast Trail = AWESOME). It was wet and wet! I guess every time I bent over to pick up the soggy pack, I said “C’mon baby!”
PS. I know I cant win, I just like the thread!
I figured that – that’s why I haven’t shut off the comments even though the raffle is over! :-)
The Raffle winner is Dave McNeil from Nevada who does most of his hiking in theSierra Nevadas near Yosemite and Lake Tahoe. Congrats Dave!
My backpack would be named Jackson, as in it weighs so much it might as well have a part of a stone wall inside it. Time to look into ultralight hiking gear…
