Experience with Aquamira and flirting with Sawyer

[Del Q]

Del Q here..............closing in on my 1000th post so being selective

Weird huh?

To me this is about TIME, the 30 minutes + for Aqua Mira to work.

When I am thirsty and get to a water supply, I want to drink..................then not in a half an hour!

I have gotten a lot better about not carrying too much food or water, which means I try to arrive at water supplies EMPTY

Which means that I am EMPTY

Which means that Del Q is friggin THIRSTY..............NOT IN 30 MINUTES, NOW!

Q wants HYDRATION NOW................

I think that the Sawyer Squeeze is great....................

Do you have to use the syringe to backflush ?

I got a Sawyer filter and have been experimenting with it at home. I find it gets hard to push water thru it after only 4 or 5 liters. Then I have to back flush it. The problem is this is using tap water out of my kitchen faucet. I don't see how this is going to work on the trail. I'll probably go back to my MIOX thing, but they apparently stopped making them, so not sure what I'm going to do when it gets too old to work.
