During my trips, it has filtered water efficiently, allowing me to stay hydrated without any issues.What I like about the LifeStraw is its simplicity and ease of use. Itâs lightweight and portable, making it perfect for travel and emergency preparedness. I can easily carry it in my backpack without taking up much space. I leave one in the vehicles as well with the spare tire.On the flip side, there’s not much to say in terms of drawbacks. Itâs a straightforward product that does its job well. It doesn’t have any bells and whistles, but for a personal water filter, thatâs exactly what you need.I think this straw is great for anyone who enjoys outdoor activities. It offers peace of mind knowing you can access safe drinking water, making it a must have for hiking, camping, and emergency situations.

Great
Havenât had a chance to use it but itâs a reputable brand. I didnât realize how big it is but itâs a great addition to the bug out bag. I would still recommend boiling water and using this as a second filter.

It’s Very Reliable to cost $20 or less to Purchase.
For the price you can’t beat a life straw but should only be used in an emergency like life or death situation otherwise spend more money and get a more high-end water filter. This is one of many life straws I bought, so they are definitely worth buying if you need clean water when hiking or in an emergency situation.

Handy to have!
The LifeStraw is such a cool little thing to have around. We bring it on hikes and camping trips, and itâs also just good to keep in our emergency bagâjust in case. Itâs lightweight, easy to use, and really gives peace of mind knowing you can drink safely from pretty much anywhere. Definitely one of those âbetter to have it and not need itâ kind of items. We love it!

An amazing personal water filter
I read a lot of reviews and articles that suggested getting the lifestraw, and I’m glad I followed their advice. My only question at this point is should I get the steel version for our 2nd one, especially as it filters chemicals (i.e., pesticides, metals), has another separate filter, may be even more durable, and helps make the liquids taste better. One of the interesting things I found out about the lifestraw while researching is that it was originally developed to help people in developing nations with local water problems so that they could get clean water while a more permanent solution was found. Awesome – I can’t think of a better use for it and would gladly support anyone engaged in such causes.Below are some other great reasons to get it:1. It’s one of the most compact water filters you can find that still does an amazing job2. It’s sturdy/durable3. It does its job well with a backed up standard of filtering 99+% bacteria, protozoans – it boasts a filtration rate that rivals industrial filtration standards for our own tap water.4. It does not impose any strange tastes to the water after filtering (although it also does not make crap tasting water more pleasurable to the palate – so be careful what water/liquid you use it on).5. It filters 1000 liters before replacement is recommended – depending on the person, that’s enough water for one person for about 500 days emergency supply. Or about 350 days of camping. It should be noted, though, that if it isn’t kept clean and dry, it probably won’t last that long.6. To follow up this last point – if kept clean and dry, it purportedly lasts 5 years (given that you have filtered <1000 L) or indefinitely if you keep it in the bag it comes in without use. This is a very positive aspect of it for use with a first aid kit or an emergency water or food supply.7. Even with the filter, the flow rate is more than adequate to quench your thirst without feeling like you're struggling to suck it through the straw. I should note, though, that when you first pull on the straw, it will take a couple seconds for the water to come up through unlike your run-of-the mill straw.Cons:Very few in this category but a couple to note nonetheless.1. This is not meant for water storage - they do make a water bottle version, but no large containers come with or are associated with this.2. This is not very convenient for drinking from a portable water reservoir or bladder (i.e., camelbak, osprey, etc). So, if you intend to use it camping or hiking, your best bet is to use it on streams and the like. If you have a hard time bending over to get to said water source, this probably isn't the filter for you.3. Following up on this last point, if you need to filter large quantities (for your family camp site for cooking, etc) this is not what you need. I would recommend getting a gravity filter, iodine tablets, or something similar for that purpose.Overall, very happy with the lifestraw, especially for its price and versatility. It's very useful and brings peace of mind in case of an emergency.

Its the most handy and fantastic item i have ever purchased, makes trail hiking, camping, and pretty well everything amazing because of the access to clean water, it is slightly difficult to suck up the water but not as bad as other filters ive used.
Mark Jones –
An essential piece of equipment any time you’re away from home, camping, hiking, walking. A must have in the event of accidents whereby you have limited access to fresh water.I have one in my car plus another I always carry on my backpack.
