Worked great, and MUCH cheaper than a pre-made gravity system,

Great story--have fun with the Sawyer. I'll add that it can be cobbled into a gravity system too, if you get tired of filling that narrow-neck container.
In the field it's really handy to be able to separate the water back from the tubing (with a self-sealing quick-connect) to gather the water. I haven't tried it in a puddle yet, but in a lake, I couldn't be happier with it.
I currently use the sawyer mini and love it. I just got back from a 2 day camping trip and used it for myself and two other people and it preformed perfect. Filtered alge filled water and made it crystal clear and tasting wonderful.
I was wondering if anyone has experimented with hooking the sawyer mini up to a wide mouth nalgene bottle? if so what have you come up with. I want to be able to use the mini and let gravity do its thing into my nalgene.
Adaptors: convert squeeze to hose barbs .................The Sawyer Mini has hose barbs integrated, so you can probably use it on it's own - A little lighter and a little smaller
I carry the whole thing within the other bags in the 3 pack - one for just the clean stuff, and the other for everything, including the clean bag. Nice and small!
