Lifestraw Personal Water Filter

Do you know an adventurer, a camper, a Boy Scout, a Girl Scout or a weekend hiker that likes being out in the boondocks, in the wildness, where water sources may be iffy? If you do, giving them the gift of a LifeStraw is like giving them the gift of less thangs to haul around when they be adventuring (awful grammar, but so true!).

For those who would rather be indoors, you may be asking yourself: What the heck is a LifeStraw?

So glad you asked.

Product Description

A Time Magazine Invention of the Year winner, LifeStraw contains no chemicals, no batteries and no moving parts to wear out. It features a high flow rate and weighs only 2oz. It is perfect for the Ultralight backpacker, camper, hiker, traveler, boy scout, hunter or for emergencies. Unlike many similar filters on the market today, LifeStraw has met EPA standards for water filtration in independent testing. LifeStraw has been used around the world under extreme conditions for humanitarian relief. Does not filter chemicals, salt, viruses, heavy metals, taste. Shelf life has been extended to 5 years. Please NOTE: It takes roughly 3-5 seconds of sucking to start the flow of water through the filter.

Now that’s some gift! (plus, there’s the coolness factor workin’ for ya)

Go on, click over and take a look at the reviews by folks who have actually used the LifeStraw in real muddy water situations.

The great thing is this isn’t just for the thrill seekers. A LifeStraw can be used in emergency situations where clean water may not be available. Practical, lightweight and easy to use. Win win all the way around.

Happy shopping!

Never have heard of it, but good to know about. I like the outdoors, but this jersey girl does not like camping or staying for long periods in the wilderness. I like my bed and a nice shower at the end of the day!

I also like to be outdoors, but at the end of the day in my own bed. NO CAMPING! Still, the Lifestraw would be good for those who do love the outdoors way more than us. ;)
