A have a Sawyer Squeeze (full size, not a mini) that was just fine after not being used for over a year and not having any special thought put in before storage. I had to squeeze the first few bags through, but then it woke up and went back to gravity filtering.

I usually try to shake water out of it right after use.

I brought a previous one back from a complete blockage with a hot water and vinegar soak and flushing both directions.

Somehow the insane SpaceX lander was the best option, which says a lot about their competitors.

It’s wild that the crazy overbuilt and overcomplicated SpaceX lander is the best option.

The Blue Origin lander, which won the 2nd place consolation contract, changed to be more like Starship than their original 3-part proposal. They also rely on orbital refueling now.

I wish Dynetics could have made their mass margins work. I liked the size and shape of that lander.
