This^^^The biggest drawback to the straw-type filter is that you still need a transfer/storage container. But, all water treatment systems need that, even the self contained bottles. Second biggest is you still want/need a pre-filter for the transfer/storage container.
My primary H2O processor is a MSR sweetwater ......
This is just what I was looking for. Thanks so much! I will give the Sawyer system a look. thanksI carry and have used a life straw, but I consider it a survival item first and a camping convenience second. My suggestion (based on my limited experience living out of a canoe on a river for a week at a time) would be a Sawyer Squeeze or a Sawyer Mini filtration system and a transfer bottle for clean water storage. The life straw doesnt readily provide an efficient manner to gather water for cooking, washing up, brushing teeth, etc in my humble opinion.
