    Gravity water filtration bag (With or without filter)

    Something like the ULA amigo, Base Camp, etc. Or even just a bag without a filter, or if someone has made a DIY bag and would sell it to me...

    Just checking the used market before I bought a new one.

    Thanks guys,
    Concord.

    If you get a new one, This is what I use and am quite happy with. You'll need to coat the thing in some flowable silicone though just like any dry bag you's buy for a gravity setup.

    For my sawyer I just took the 32 oz. bag slit the bottom open and punched 2 holes in the corners. A length of zingit thru the holes for hanging and a bandanna to strain the floaters and all is well. The bag can still be used in the squeeze mode by just rolling the bottom and squeezing.

    ..... Brilliant.

    I think I will do the same with my sawyer set-up.

    Still looking for a bag or is this thread ready to be closed?

    Remember, discussions need to be taken to the appropriate forums. Thanks

    It's in the Donating Members off topic section where all water filtration discussions belong.
