Survival UK Forums

Thanks to BP/MB for the great information on the Sawyer Mini, I been looking at various water filters for the last few weeks and was close to purchasing a Survival Straw and a Katadyn Combi, but after doing further reseach, the Sawyer looks a much better option and I didn't even know about them before!

I have therefore just ordered the following from Amazon which are the cheapest I can find:

The total for the above purchase worked out at about £63.40 after converting to GBP, including delivery and import taxes etc, and that equates to £15.85 all in for each filter, which is bloody good value!! Also considerably cheaper than the previous options that I was considering, as well as giving me additional spares

Delivery is estimated at 8-14 days.

Thanks again BP

yes, if you can wait for them to come from the states its possible to get a good deal, I went for the next day delivery cos I'm an impatient sod!! I've also got a Lifestraw and a LifeSaver bottle, I was looking at a pump type filter on Ebay for £21.99 before I fell over the Sawyer.

hopefully, as they become more common in this country the prices of the Sawyer will come down.

Yes agreed, be good if they became mainstream over here, they are also very flexible and adaptable which I like

yes I like the fact you can use any old pop bottle so you don't have to cart the squeeze pack around if you don't want to, that's an excellent modification as I can find bottles lying around pretty much anywhere.

The Sawyer Point Zero Two is the one I'm after, found it online.

Not a water filter, it's a water purifier. Bloody expensive though at £100(ish) and delivery from the USA.

totally out of my budget I'm afraid.

I'm going to treat myself I think. May have to wait a week or two, the missus is on a mission to spend all of my available income on baby stuff.

seems fair enough, seeing as how it was you that got her in that condition in the first place !!!!

I hope it was me

course it was-it takes 2 to tango!!
