Easy draw, super light weight, longgg filter life

A must have for preppers

Thank you

I checked and this company has really good reviews though I haven't used it yet I have confidence in their life straw. These are good to keep one in the car just in case and definitely in the go bag or camping. Would give 5 star but can't until I'm absolutely positive & not only confident.

Bought these as a gift for my dad! He’s into outdoor activity, and I figured this survival item would be right up his alley. They look well made, he has not tried them out but I’m sure they’ll do great.

Es fantástico para acampar en caso de emergencia,lo recomiendo y la entrega fue rápida.

Never used it but good to have

I have purchased well over 20 Lifestraws over the past decade or so for my BOB’s, get home bags, and outdoor survival. Lifestraws have been proven in harsh conditions, and have never failed me in my uses. However, there are a few things to consider:1. This filter will not remove certain toxins like heavy metal, etc. Further, they will rarely remove taste and smell. So, if you drink straight from a source with toxins like Mercury or lead, you are not protected. You may still survive, but the long term effects could be troubling. In a true survival situation, where death is imminent if I don’t get water, I’ll take my chances with potential future issues from metals. Just my opinion. Further, if you drink from a musty pool, expect it to taste like it smells. Overall, try to be a selective as possible with where you choose to draw water from. Moving water is almost always safer than stagnant water.2. Tip learned from my military survival training- Always carry a coffee filter and rubber band with your Lifestraw. When attached to the end, it will filter heavy sediment, slime, etc., thus prolonging the life of your straw. It may be a bit harder to suck the water through, but who wants to have slime in their straw and, potentially, make way through to the mouth?3. In addition to carrying a coffee filter and rubber band, also consider carrying water purifying tablets, coffee filter/rubber band, and the Lifestraw in a gallon size zipper Ziploc bag. When you need water:A. remove everything from the bagB. Attach the coffee filter if necessaryC. Use the Ziploc bag as a container to hold the untreated waterD. Drop in a tab or two of water purification tabs and wait the recommended time. I use these because they balance the ph as well and remove a lot of the taste and smell https://amzn.to/3vXJGp5E. Drink the water through your strawObviously, you can drink directly from the source without doing everything I mentioned, but just a couple extra light supplies and a few more minutes doing all I listed will greatly improve the safety, quality, and taste of the water you drink. Just because you are in a primitive or survival situation doesn’t mean you need to suffer.
