GEAR DEBATE - LET’S TALK WATER 💧

I’m debating the pros and cons of the Katadyn BeFree and the Sawyer Squeeze filters. I want maximum output and minimum effort (don’t we all).

I have really liked the larger output on the BeFree but it’s slowing down after not a ton of use. Sawyer seems to be flowing at the same rate, but that rate is slower from the get-go because of the smaller filter opening.

Sawyer does have a gravity attachment for filtering hands-free at camp, so that’s a perk… but also another thing to carry.

I’d love to hear what YOU think!!

And can someone please tell me how to pronounce Katadyn correctly 🤣 !?

6 days, 70 miles on the Appalachian Trail in MA with Pioneers of Women’s Adventure Travel | Est. 1999 and another group of fabulous women!

This entire stretch of trail, from Great Barrington to Mt Greylock, is under tree cover (with the exception of one meadow crossing and the summit of Greylock). If you want a shady state to hike in, this is it!

Rocky, rooty, lush, and very green - a great way to start the AT season!

I went to the Rockies in May to do some spring hiking and happened to be there during the only snowstorm Colorado had all winter! We made the most of it.

I got to spend the week with my favorite badass guides from and had the pleasure of meeting some of the amazing office staff who support us in the field.

Thanks to our truly fearless leader for giving us the opportunity to connect, learn, laugh, and explore. I am so grateful to be part of this team.
