The Sawyer Squeeze water filters (regular or mini) are a great, inexpensive, lightweight solution for filtering water while on backpacking trips, I love mine. However, the one small frustration with the supplied bags is when you don't have moving water that easily flows into the small opening. I have seen people bring cut off water bottles to fill their bag with as well as many other techniques. In this video I show a simple solution, utilizing something already in my pack, to quickly and easily fill the Sawyer bag. This footage was shot while on my 8 day Long Trail trip in May 2015.
I hope this helps.
Thank you for watching,
