Instead of buying a $80 water filtration system I'm going to buy a $30 filter replacement and put it on the end of a $15 backwoods shower bladder.

Good or bad idea?

Bad idea. Why the fuck would you save $35 for a vastly inferior product that won't last as long and will make you disappointed?

You don't need a filter
Use tablets/drops, or don't filter at all. I have never gotten sick

You're full of shit. Sawyer Squeeze is the gold standard of water filters.

I literally did a bunch of mock tests with a friend on our last backpacking trip out in the PNW.

Our first comparison failed because his squeeze clogged.

The second one it got worked over horribly by the Befree from just hanging and letting itself go naturally. It got clogged afterwords and needed more backflushing.

The third attempt we tried to squeeze the water through. Befree done in seconds, sawyer clogged.

Sawyer may last for longer, but its so high maintenance and the fact you need two bags to get anything done...gold standard? Stop using youtube gear.

I have to agree with this Chadposter. Sawyer's are an absolute bitch to maintain on the trail and it's annoying as fuck how fast they clog when your water is anything less than crystal clear. Even brand-new ones take forever to squeeze a bag compared to a Befree. I was so tired of fucking with Sawyers that for my last 5-day backpacker I just grabbed a thin cloth and a box of water purifier tablets and used that. But now I also have a Befree and it's great.

So the faggot didn't back flow it like your suppose to. So the test failed because you and your friend are stupid retards. Who gives a shit you did it in the PNW, our water is pretty clear and not full of debri. I used the same Sawyer mini for more than 4 years, 18 months of that was when I was deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, the filter worked completely fine cause I'm not a tard like you.

This guy is a scout leader and backpacks literally every weekend. He, like me also owned like 6-7 filters. We both know about maintenance of gear and hiked multiple week long treks.

Backflushing is not a hard technique, nor is it easy to fuck up. Its literally forcing water through the other end of the device. If something so simple is easy to be messed up specifically and only with the sawyer, maybe the sawyer is not a user friendly product and means it is high maintenance? That would add to my argument.

Its just bad man. It might work for you, but honestly there are better products out there.

Chad here is right, BeFree is the best. You fill a bag then squeeze water out, so easy my 4 year old did it no problems. I fill my family's collapsible gallon jug with it in like a minute. One minute gallons of clean water for my wife and kids, Sawyer can't beat that.
Cleaning is super easy too, just rinse it off in some water you filtered.

I've heard the soft bottle easily springs a leak, especially near the edge where the bottle meets the hard plastic of the filter.

It does. Look up Hydrapak seeker 2l. Befree Compatable. For the americans, you can use a CNOC bag. More expensive, but fills faster.

Dunno I use a Hydrapak bladder. As far as the BeeFree filter itself goes no one can currently beat it.
