Survivor Filter Emergency Water Straw – USA-Tested – 0.05 Micron Filtration – Portable Outdoor Water Filter for Camping & Hiking, No Expiration.

Keep one in each of my vehicles, my backpack, and my camping gear. You never know when or where you might need it.Tested one in a nearby stream and it must have worked as I've had no ill effects.

First,[...] I personally got to this from thinking it was the Renovo filter, only difference is the name. The only one that actually takes viruses away! I have been using Sawyer for two years, two things that I hate, one is their bags break fairly easily when used in backpacks. The cap on this filter is much better than the Sawyer mini, I had a cap break off just by regular use, I do not expect that to happen here. What surprised me is I did not have to have to use an 0 ring, and with the O ring I notice the Sawyers tend to leak pretty easily. I have had an O ring degrade so if you are doing a long term backpacking thing, you have to worry about that eventually. I also like the color better, much more suited for going to the woods like I plan to do. Good flow rate. I enjoyed the Sawyer but this one is military grade and I believe somewhere I read that the Renovo was the only one resistent to winter freezing, but I forget were I read that, or maybe it was a video. Sawyer served me will, but I sort of do not trust it is filtering everything, this one is a guarantee.tip, do not leave it on all the time while moving around, this will damage the canteen you can buy.

Thankfully haven’t had to use this, but it gives me comfort having it in my emergency bag.

Fonctionne super!

For years I bought Sawyer water filtration products for backpacking, camping, and emergency disaster preparation. A few years back I bought the Survivor Filter Pro X. I was so impressed with its capabilities I also bought the manual pump Pro version, which is the reason why I bought the Survivor filter straw. Small and compact, it also offers way better flow rate and longevity for filtering water than some other popular brands, which I’ve owned and didn’t like. I have a lot of different water filtration system brands and Survivor Filters is my favorite with Sawyer being a close second. I haven’t used these filtration straws but, trust that they will work fine based on doing a lot of posted test reviews by others. These will remain in their box for emergency situations. I’m not a hardcore survival prepper type but, I do like to be prepared in case a fast bug out SHTF situation happens. I have all the bases covered for several months worth of survival food, first aid, firearms, ammo, gear, etc but, water will always be the most critical part of survival. You can only store so much water before the need arises for more water. Also, don’t forget to stock up on replacement filters or you’ll find yourself needing to boil water, which can be time consuming if boiling for consumption…

1. Tried it on 4 different made of reusable water bottle and none fit2. Wrote to customer service asking if indeed only Smart Water and Dasani bottles would be the only that works with this, the reply was to buy their canteens. Terrible3. Will go buy Smart and Dasani and maybe 1-2 more to try and report back here if those works4. Tried the straw by drinking it from source, a fair bit of strength is needed. I guess that means the filters are working5. Once you stop sucking on it, water are stuck in filter. You have to continue sucking till you suck air, then it's safe to put this filter back. Otherwise, it leaks the remaining water.Until I find a bottle that works, I will rate it as 2. Plus the terrible reply from customer service10/3: Got a email from Mark, CEO of Survivor offering to ship a pair of Squeeze at no cost to me .And told me that I should try Smart Water bottle. I went to buy 2 Smart Water of different sizes and 1 Dasani. Both Smart Water works and Dasani doesn't. I will be using the Smarts as I don't think the Squeeze will reach me soon enough for my hike. I have upgraded my rating.

I used this filter for my travels in Malaysie. I could drink tap water without getting a stomach ache. Thats very good! The reason for me to choose this filter over others, is the added benefit of the carbon filter. It really helps with reducing odors from water (chlorine for example)!When you want to use the filter to filter water into another drinking bottle, it takes a while, thats too bad. The water doesn't flow very smoothly through it. Therefore 1 star reduction.

Piccolo compatto,comodo da trasportare

Bought this prior to a Havasupai trip. It is pretty light and compact, and appears to have done its job (I didn't get sick when I drank water with it). It wasn't really difficult to get water flowing, and I was able to drink at a good rate without much difficulty. After I was finished using it, it was really easy to dissemble and clean out, then just had to leave it out for a day to dry, and easily put it back together. For backpacking trips, this is a good item to have, but you have to either drink straight from the water or attach a water bottle with the right size lid For a dry cabin or something, I'd prefer a larger, pump filter so I could easily filter water and fill any container (camelback, gallon jugs, etc). Should I encounter any issues with it, I'll be sure to update this, but overall I'm pleased and would recommend it.

A great water filter for what it claims to clear from contaminated water. I like the size as it is light weight and small so fits unobtrusively in my backpack nicely. I use it mainly for one/two night outings if I am walking in countryside that has arable farming as this filter strains out heavy metals and chemicals as well as viruses. If I am hiking in mountainous country I use a different filter. Recommended

I had originally bought the heavy duty, deflatable, water canteen's, thinking the water purification system came with it. I found out later that it was a separate item all together. So of course, I jumped online to get one. This was the exact one I needed. Plus, it was very affordable, compared to the other water purification systems. Along with the purification system it's self, it comes with detailed instructions and several, cotton refills. When I received it in the Mel, I wasn't so bold as to use it with toilet water or dirty, mop water, as other reviewer's have done, but I used it to purify unfiltered city water. It worked amazingly! I ordered it for my bug out bag, but now, I'm going to get more just for daily use. On top of the great product, the shipping was super fast, and the seller was a pleasure to work with. Trust me. You can't go wrong with this product or this seller. So don't delay… Buy it today! You won't regret it.
