Sawyer Helps Thousands After Hurricanes Milton and Helene

The Florida-based company, a pioneer in water filtration and outdoor protection, is donating more than 20,000 water filters, nearly 1,000 32-ounce jugs of sunscreen, and more than 5,300 bottles of Picaridin insect repellent. These critical supplies are made possible through the dedicated efforts of local first responders and organizations like the American Red Cross, Samaritan’s Purse, Convoy of Hope, Save Our Allies, WC Kitchen, Water by Women, Waves for Water and many more.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, widespread flooding has severely compromised water supplies in Florida. More than 1.5 million people are without access to clean drinking water.

In future, I’ll use gravity when I can, and squeeze when I have to.

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.
