[QUOTE="middleofnowhere, post: 1523874, member: 96793"] I’m a huge fan of the gravity filters. IMO the MSR “autoflow” is the best unit I’ve used. I do have the Katydine” 10L bag and love the size, but I don’t have as much confidence about the internal filter getting crushed in my pack and freezing. The filter cartridge on the MSR is pretty much bombprrof. Also, one time my Katydyne bag got a tear in the clear vynil window and it was a PITA to field repair. The MSRs are much more durable. The MSR dirty water bag is only 2L or 4L, I wish they had a larger bag. You could always build your own system just using the aquaflow cartridge. In the SW, water is often distant and few sources are around, I carry 10L in my pack most days, so the larger bags are helpful in my case. Some of our water sources are pretty funky, so I still carry “aquatabs” to add to my water. Pumps and steripens are fine, I’ve owned most and used them all. The gravity bag is my “go to” set up now for most situations. [/QUOTE]
