While a Sawyer Squeeze is what I use and recommend, I should write that quite a lot of people who use the Sawyer Squeeze apparently don't know how to keep it clean and unclogged. It can also be disinfected with dilute bleach. The pores are so small that if hard water dries out inside the filter, then the salt that is left will clog the filter. Since this is bogleheads.org, I won't go into details about how to maintain a Sawyer Squeeze for years and years. Basically, don't buy and take this filter with you without learning how to use it and actually use enough that you have to backflush it and clean it. Otherwise, unpackaging a brand new filter in Central America and having it clog on you after a cup of water is not going to be pleasant.
