LifeStraw Personal Water Filter

This LifeStraw Personal Water Filter is a must have piece of gear. Clean water is critical to survival. Without it you will die within a few days. No exceptions, it is guaranteed. When it comes to surviving, having the ability to get clean water is the first, second, and third major thoughts that should go through your head every day. That means you should have one of these Filter Straws with each of your go bags. I keep another for travel.

I have taken my LifeStraw Personal Water Filters as far as India and as close as my local campground. Running out of water is not fun, and drinking dirty water is dangerous. When it comes to surviving whatever type of disaster is about to hit, having the ability to get a drink is a high priority, so make sure you plan to have at least one of these LifeStraw Personal Water Filters per person as a minimum.

Going on a long trip? Perfect time to throw a LifeStraw in your vehicle. Think about all those people stranded out in the snow on the highway. Sure they can melt snow if they make a fire, but did any of them have a pot to boil it in? Snow may look clean, but that doesn’t mean it is.

LifeStraw Personal Water Filter Scoring

These Personal Water Filters can have an Extreme Impact on your survival and score a 915/1000. It scores well because Clean Water is just a critical basic need. I suggest pairing it with a Gravity System at base camp so you have a source of clean water on the go, and at camp.

Plan on surviving, keep a LifeStraw available for when things go bad.
