If you’re looking to escape into the woods for a hiking, camping or backpacking trip, it’s never a bad idea to be prepared for purifying your own water, especially if you’re heading way out into the backcountry.
For this task, there’s the LifeStraw personal water filter, which removes bacteria from water so well that it goes above and beyond the EPA’s standard. (Hint: It’s also great to have in your emergency preparedness kit, just in case.) And right now, a pack of five is down to the lowest price we’ve seen this year at Amazon.
The LifeStraw is a simple, safe way to ensure you’re drinking clean water wherever you are. Right now a pack of five is on sale, meaning each LifeStraw comes out to be under $10.
You don’t need batteries or a charger for this handy personal water filter, which purifies up to 1,000 gallons (or 4,000 liters) of water. (It’s even available as a squeeze bottle.)
LifeStraw does a very effective job getting rid of the bad stuff: It removes at minimum 99.9999% (yes, four decimal places) of waterborne bacteria and 99.9% of waterborne protozoan parasites, and it filters water up to 0.2 microns. Plus, it doesn’t use iodine or chlorine to purify, so you don’t get a weird taste in the water. Instead, it uses membrane microfilters made from fibers that trap all the gunk to just let clean water through on the other side.
And it’s not going to drag you down. This personal filter weighs just 2 ounces to make carrying it on the trail super easy. It also never expires, so you can prep ahead with peace of mind.
Not to mention it’s one of our readers’ favorites. In fact, it was an Underscored top seller from Amazon in 2022 and makes a great stocking stuffer gift for the outdoorsy people in your life. So buy yours now and drink up the savings before this deal expires or stock runs out.
