So dad and I made a trip to Walmart on that all to common futile trip to the ammo counter... damn empty shelves! But camping gear is located on the same aisle so I wandered along checking out what was in stock.
On the shelf was the Sawyer Squeeze Filter, priced at $30. It looks like this version only includes a single 32 fl oz filter bag, rather than the standard three varying sized bags. But the filter and one bag at 30 bucks is certainly at a price point that makes me consider picking it up to try it out.
