My Sawyer Mini filter gave out halfway through the Wonderland Trail loop
It was day four near Mowich Lake when the filter started pushing out cloudy water no matter how much I backflushed it. I had to boil all my water for the next two days, which really slowed me down and used up a lot of fuel. Has anyone else had a Sawyer Mini fail on them, and what's a more reliable backup method you'd suggest?

What kind of mess are we talking about? I'm with @leor37, the worst is when you think it's over and it just starts up again.

Oh man, I feel that. What exactly went wrong, @diana87? Honestly, the worst part is when you think it's fixed and then it just happens again. Tbh I've been there and it drains all your energy. Was it something you had to call about, or more of an online mess?
