I have a sawyer 3 in 1 filter I use as a gravity filter with a 3 liter playpus. I was curious how people carry the filter when it is not in use. I have thought about carrying it out in the back mesh of the pack so it can dry out a little, but then I worried about it getting dust and such in it. Another option is a ziplock to keep it from leaking any residual water but I wonder if that would promote funk to settle in.
I am also planning a trip on the River to River trail in Southern IL in mid October. While I don't expect freezing temps I would want to keep the filter close at night just in case. Are people using a little neck pouch or something similar to keep it close. Just something I was thinking about and figured I would ask the mass :)
Thanks
