Yeah, I keep a sawyer mini as my backup, and something called a Katadyn Be Free as my primary filter. It just filters so much faster, it makes life on the trail a little bit easier.
So it looks like If I wanted to buy just one, it should be the Katadyn. If I really need to use it, I don't want to fuck around with it. Is there anything in the kit that "expires"?

If you need something reliable that you’re gonna store away, get the Sawyer mini. The Katadyn is rumored to slow down after a while of using it. Technically all hollow fiber filters do. But the sawyer mini is a reliable little filter.

I just use the katadyn because it’s SO fast when filtering water, and the water bags have a much wider opening, so it’s easier to fill them.

I keep the sawyer mini in case something goes wrong with the katadyn. The sawyer is tried and true. Also, you can use a “smart water” bottle with the sawyer as a dirty water bottle. Finding a replacement for the katadyn in the apocalypse may prove a little more challenging

And nothing in these kits expire. They require a minimum amount of maintenance to keep working properly, but it’s all included with the kits.

I'm glad this copy stayed in the USA. He plans to have it displayed at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas (founded by the Walton [Walmart] family). Admission to the museum is free.

Good morning C2G. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. We are going to get our booster shots this morning! What are you doing for Thanksgiving?
Thank you, I'm hiding at home LOL. I ordered a smoked ham and smoked turkey breast so I'm not even cooking. Just going to play with my press and my dab pen, and over eat :) How about you?

I'm glad you're getting your booster, that's good news :hug:

That smoked ham and Turkey breast sound delicious! Sounds like a nice relaxing day. I might go to A
Local Diner or Denny’s.
