After years of searching for the best way to purify water for my outdoor needs, i think i've finally found what i'm looking for. A no-nonsense ultralight, durable, compact water filter that capable of filtering up to 1000 liters, and does not require replacement parts or batteries, or any chemicals. LifeStraw truly is a must have piece of gear not only for outdoor adventure seekers but also a great survival tool for disaster situations such as local flooding which can contaminate drinking water supplies.
Instant clean and safe drinking water!
Just drink directly from the stream/water source...
LifeStraw filters down to an incredible, 0.2 microns in size! This
removes virtually all the bacteria (99.9999%) and protozoa (99.9%) from
contaminated water, and reduces turbidity (muddiness) by filtering out
suspended particles.
...and watching groups of fish swimming at the same time.
What a fun and convenient way to rehydrate ourselves!
Ultralight at its finest! LifeStraw accomplishes
the same thing as other filters, but does it at just a tenth of the
weight. At only 2 oz (56.699g), it's the lightest way of filtering water while on the go.
Without a doubt, this would be a great piece of ultralight gear to be included in my ultralight bikepacking setup. Just imagine how 'less' water i need to carry and how much weight will be saved with just a LifeStraw attached to the bottle cage.
