You may have heard of a great gadget called LifeStraw. If you miss this modern miracle, the LifeStraw personal water filter allows you to make almost any type of drinking water. Currently for only $13 (less than $30) during the Amazon Black Friday sale, LifeStraw is a great gadget and the perfect socks for everyone. It inspires adventures for everyone who sees it, from the occasional hiker to the fishing fanatic. This Black Friday deal brings it to a discount of nearly 60%.
The straw contains a microfiltration membrane that can remove 99.999999% of aquatic bacteria (including E. coli and Salmonella) and 99.999% of aquatic parasites (including Giardia and Cryptosporidium). The filter can also remove the smallest microplastics in the environment and reduce the turbidity to 0.2 microns.
You can use it like any other straws. Just remove the cap, put one end of the straw into the water you encounter in nature, and suck. The hollow fiber in the straw traps pathogens, so the only thing that can touch your lips is clean, safe, and drinkable water.
This straw is also enduring. As long as you use the straw as designed and maintain it, the microbial filter can provide 1,000 gallons of clean and safe drinking water. And if you take it to camping, it won't weigh down your backpack: it weighs only 2 ounces.
People are full of praise for this straw in the comments. "I drank from the most disgusting-looking gap full of brown scum. I thought it would be safe, but it tasted terrible. Wrong. It tasted like the freshest spring water. Better than any faucet. ," one person wrote. "I have used these in both Iraq and Afghanistan. It works as advertised. It is very reliable and uses a really safe filter system," another said.
LifeStraw also attaches great importance to feedback. Every straw you buy will provide safe drinking water for school children in need for the entire school year.
