Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Water Stops and Water Strategy

I bought a gravity filter a year or two ago. I paid good money, and it supposedly filtered two liters a minute. It would barely do half a liter a minute, even if I squeezed it. Not to mention that gravity doesn’t work very well if you’re camped above tree line and there is no place to hang it. It was also awkward to use if you didn’t want to get unfiltered water where it didn’t belong. I took it back to REI and told them it was crap. Sorry, I forgot what brand it was. I bought another Katadyn Hiker. It’s heavy, but it bleepin’ works.
