Why use a plastic bag when you can simply screw on this end cap, specifically designed for Sawyer water filters?

For longer hikes, it’s convenient to carry a small backcountry water filter, such as a Sawyer Mini or Micro, which allows you to replenish your water from natural sources like streams or ponds.
