LifeStraw Personal Water Filter

Water, water, everywhere, and none of it to drink. Let’s face it. Nature and Man don’t always see eye-to-eye on things, and life sometimes requires throwing caution to the wind when it comes to finding water to drink. Luckily, the LifeStraw Personal Water Filter doesn’t require caution to be tossed completely out the window.

Whether you’re on a camping trip to experience the great outdoors, traveling to a distant and exotic land, or had a hurricane roll through and trash the supply of local drinking water, there will be times when you have to drink the water that’s available, and that could mean chugging down some truly nasty little bugs that would scare you to death if viewed under a microscope.

During those times, you can rely on the LifeStraw to filter out nature’s nastiness, leaving you with drinkable water to quench that thirst without having to worry about a midnight visit from Montezuma’s revenge.

  1. Overall impressive for the cost. Why is the log removal better for bacteria then for parasites, when the effective size of parasites is larger?

    What is the production rate?

  2. Why would you not pack one of these away in your backpack, cheap, light and could save you a lot of discomfort or worse, if the clean drinking water runs out!
