Fall and winter preps

Thanks for that suggestion! I'll look up lifestraws.

Personally, I think the Sawyer products are more economical and are thought out for things like using a 5 gal bucket gravity feed.

The Lifestraw Family is rated for nearly 4800 gals and runs just under $50: https://www.lifestraw.com/collection...y-water-filter

The Sawyer All-in-One is rated for 100,000 gals and runs $60 retail (although I got 2 at REI seasonal sales for $25 each): https://sawyer.com/products/all-in-one-water-filter/

The Sawyer also has inline kits so you can insert it along the drinking tube for hydration bladders and replacement filters are very reasonable. So I only need to worry about a single type of cartridge but can use it multiple ways.

One of the things I like about the Lifestraw Home pitchers is that they use a microfiber filter like the Sawyer or their normal Lifestraw products but they add a carbon filter before it goes through the microfiber filter. Nicely thought out design IMO but more for drinking water at the table than the kind of mass sanitized water you want for cooking and cleaning. I use one Lifestraw Home to feed the humidity tank in my CPAP.
