      One may argue that it can be passed down to the next generation, but I don't see that as a good thing either. If my parents were in a position like the owner of Sawyer, instead of setting up a trust fund for me to be lazy and not earn my own money, I'd rather see them doing great things like Sawyer is doing. Helping those who can't help themselves.

    Good interview. I used a Sawyer Squeeze for my AT thru-hike and it worked well. I started out with the mini but soon upgraded to the full size model because the mini took too long to filter. I've had one problem with the Sawyer Squeeze. After just a few uses, I let a Sawyer Squeeze sit for a year or so before using it again. I didn't test it before hitting the AZT, and discovered that it wouldn't work at all. I couldn't get any water through even after backflushing and letting it soak. Maybe calcium buildup? I don't know, I had to toss it. So test your filter before heading out.

    • @CanItAlready
      @CanItAlready 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I've seen people recommend soaking the filter in vinegar for 1/2 hour and then back flush it with clean water. Or soak overnight in vinegar and then back flush.
      There was even one guy on TH-cam who added a step where, iirc, he taps the filter or shakes it to dislodge any debris that might still be in there and flush some more.

    When I first got into backcountry travel everyone was using Sawyer products. I saw lots of clogging issues on the trail. I did my research and bought a Steripen. The Steripen has never let me down. Over the years I have had to let others use it on the trail because their water filter clogged or wasn't working. Over the years water filtration has changed. It amazing to see what it has become. I know carry both my Steripen and filters that fit on my soft flasks. The ease of dipping into a creek to grab water and keep on going is great. The only downside of my Steripen is the time it takes to sanitize my water.

    Wow! I have the original extractor kit in my backpack. I bought it decades ago. Thankfully, I never had to use it. I have the Mini,the Squeeze and the Home Filter. I just bought the Permethrin spray kit and the hard sports bottle with the internal mini filter yesterday. I'm a bikepacker and backpacker.

    . Liked seeing the tech side of design ,, Interesting to see the diagram illustrations of the filter design ,, as to how it works ... Have been using water filters for over 50 years ,, just took the companies word that it was going to do what was stated ... somewhat late ,,but never a health issue,, but now want to see comparison details of others I have used past and present ..

    I started backpacking a couple years ago with a buddy on a trip we call miles for missions. We get people to sponsor us, kind of like a walk-a-thon kids used to do, so we can send money to orphanage ministries in India. It is amazing how God can make things like that work out for his glory and lets us tag along for the ride. I started watching you and Eric over the past several months because I've been trying to upgrade my gear and learn some things for a trip we are taking to the collegiate loop this summer. I have really enjoyed your channel, but I'm even more encouraged to hear some of your story and your heart. By the way my family is planning to move to Wisconsin shortly after that hiking trip this summer.

    This is such a wonderful company. I love my Sawyer squeeze and Permethrin that have kept me well for hundreds of miles in the woods. And the impulse behind it is to show the love of Jesus to people around the world is love in action

    If Sawyer would change the composition of that famous white washer/gasket that always fails - they'd be golden. Wish they would use a different membrane or material for that part.

    Good interview. I use Sawyer filters but I have to replace them at the start of each hiking system, I back-flush filter after each hike but when I leave the used filter inactive for 6+ months, the filter no longer works, horrible things grow in dark & wet places and it gets clogged just sitting there inactive, so I just buy a new one each year, no problem, they are cheap. I also bring a 35ml dropper bottle filled with regular Clorox and add 2 drops per quart to filtered water, 30 minutes, to make sure everything is dead.

    Wow, it’s so refreshing to see a company giving back to the extent they are. And as a faith based company that elevates it even more.
    I feel good about my sawyer purchases even more now!

    10 years ago. We had those hurricanes come thru. Sawyer saved my wife & I & our fetus developed son. When I travel or my mom travels, we ship Sawyer filters in our balikbayan boxes 📦 📦 📦

    My first and only subsequent water filters have been Sawyers. Have added Wolverine Tuff brand bottles via an adapter kit cuz I don't like the Sawyer water bag, but the heart of my set up is Sawyer. Anyway, good stuff. Very cool and God bless!

    Only found your channel today…been looking at water filters! Super informative, gives me a good reason to go Sawyer?…and probably most importantly, has given me food for thought on my current relationship with God and makes me question some of my decisions in terms of good works or self satisfying good times! Thank you on both levels ❤

    I dint know till I saw this video that the sawyer extractor was made by the same company that makes the water filters.
    I still have an extractor from 1997 and it still works fine.
    ETA
    I aint sure because I no longer have it...
    But I think I may have had one of their backpackin first aid kits back then too.
