That idea of cutting off bottom section of Sawyer bag to scoop in low/slow water sources was genius! I’ve been carrying a cut off bottom of a Smart Water bottle…which while light, is awkward to pack. Easier is your idea….folds flat. Nice idea.

Greeting from Hong Kong. Thank you so much for your sharing, helps a lot!

[@4leafmetal]

Wonderful tips, thank you!!

These are some great ideas. You seem rather new having only 3 subscribers. You had my attention with the sawyer mods. I could eliminate my blue threaded fitting I got and just use the spout. Multipurpose is the answer. I watched your intro and it appears what I’m interested in. I’ll subscribe and turn on my notifications. Thanks!

I was researching Sawyer filters when this video was suggested.

Good call, I used a similar setup on the greenway last summer, loved it! Thanks for the sub back Brian! Cheers!

I’m happy to subscribe. Looks likes you have some great vids.

@@rootsontrail thanks! They're all mostly hiking videos from the Northeast and one from New York. Branching out and doing some hiking in North Carolina this summer while we are down to visit my cousin in Asheville.

I enjoyed the video. Straight forward and to the point! Subscribed :)

You had some great ideas. Had you ever tried or considered adding some sort of screening to the funnel to catch larger particles that may plug-up the filter itself and deal with it before it gets into the bag.

I haven't done it, but this guy who is currently hiking the CDT created something like what you described. Here is his design. Seems pretty straightforward. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5rGm5h7aKyrjbc

The coupler is no longer available on Amazon. I checked the Sawyer website and it isn't there either. Any ideas on where else I can find one? I was thinking of using superglue to glue the two caps from the Sawyer collection bags together, sealing with silicone, and drilling a hole through them.

Thanks for the feedback. I had no idea Amazon stopped carrying them. I like your diy idea. I have seen other people use a “tornado tube” which you can find on Amazon, but I can speak to the size/fit. I know a couple of the people using the longer ones had to cut them down a bit to get a good fit.
