Re: Sawyer point 2 water filter/purfier
I use a Katadyn Mini Ceramic for camping.
Pro:
Lightweight, compact, .02 micro filters out impurities including bacteria and some viruses
Con:
Pumping takes time and effort, filter only good for 2000 gallons max under ideal conditions, mixed reviews on Amazon
Never used the Sawyer Point Two before.
Pro:
Also light, .02 micron filter, GRAVITY FED! NO PUMPING, and theoretically good for hundreds of gallons a day, a MILLION gallons over life of the unit (not sure if that means a single filter carteridge), great reviews on Amazon
Con:
Costs $25 more than the Katadyn
When my Katadyn needs a replacement filter, I think I'll buy the Sawyer instead.

For if ever thou hadst experience thereof, thou wouldest counsel us to fight for it not with spears only but with axes.' Thus the Spartans answered Hydarnes." - Herodotus
