Gravity filter vs squeeze filter for backpacking?
Reviewer consensus
Specialist-subreddit consensus is that squeeze filters (like the Sawyer Squeeze) win on weight and solo speed, while gravity filters win for groups of two or more and for camp use where you can hang the bag and walk away. Several r/Ultralight threads in this dataset specifically call out gravity as the better pick for high-volume or scout-group trips.
