This straw is one of the most reliable water purifier straws because it is designed and made using a two-stage filtration that can filter not just contaminants but also improve the taste and odor of the water. There’s a limit to how much stuff you can cram into a bug-out bag, and if your water filter straw takes up too much space or too much of your weight allowance, you’ll soon come to resent it. Quality of TasteOn the downside, the membrane microfilter is just 0.2 microns, so it won’t do as thorough a job as Sawyer’s 0.1 model. The filter straws have a pre-filter for removal of large contaminants, ion exchange resin for the elimination of chlorine, TMH, and heavy metal irons. As the world’s population expands and climate change sets in, our water woes are becoming increasingly severe. By 2025, half the world’s population will be living where the demand for safe water exceeds its supply.

I include it in this list for only one very important reason. If in your emergency preparations one of the things that you are preparing for is a possible EMP and nuclear strike, be it terrorist or major war, this filter will actually filter out nuclear fallout. Knowing that water will come out of our faucets as we turn it on, having access to water to flush our toilets and having that glass of water anytime you feel like drinking is a privilege for those who don’t have access to either clean or dirty water. Having access to clean and safe water is a blessing. There are two main factors,” says Matt DeWitte, Lifestraw’s head of marketing. “One is that the global population is increasingly urbanised, and that means we have to move from filtering biological contaminants only, to also being concerned about heavy metals, pesticides and pharmaceuticals etc. The other overall trend that you see is in countries like the US specifically is the breakdown of infrastructure and that has created an immediate need to respond to things like lead removal.”
