I busted one of the Sawyer bags first use. Plus the bags are tough to fill in a shallow creek sometimes. Threads are the same.
I also use a Platypus hydration bladder. Hook the Sawyer filter inline with the hose. I can hang that from a branch and gravity filter 3 liters in no time. Normally fill that up and use in camp as needed. It is handy when I have my kids, which is always.
A guy in my kids troop took a 10 liter dry sack and rigged the filter on it. With a big group just fill it up and everyone can filter with it.

Yea, I've heard the sawyer bags are prone to busting, but I've been lucky with mine so far. I need to figure out a gravity system for mine. I just have the platypus bags, I dont have the bladder for it. It is a pain filling up those damn bags though, but I have a system that seems to work now
