The same high-tech design used in places like Haiti, Pakistan, Peru, Kenya, Indonesia, DR Congo, South Africa, Mexico, and Bangladesh is now available for consumers. You can drink directly from lakes, rivers, or your water bottle. Simply put the lower part of the straw in the water, and sip through the other end. After drinking, blow back into it to clear the filter.

If you've ever been sick while travelling, you know the importance of drinking filtered water- prevent any mishaps by drinking your water through this straw!  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLifeStraw for Hiking \u0026amp; Camping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccess to clean water is critical while hiking. LifeStraw accomplishes the same thing as other filters, but does it at just a tenth of the weight. If you're ultra-light hiking, this is a must. At only 2 oz, it's the lightest way of filtering water while on the go. If you consume the recommended 3-4 liters of water per day while hiking, LifeStraw will last you for between 1000-1333 days of hiking. If you're in a rush, there's no need to stop and filter water by the lake. Just scoop your water bottle full, and sip from it as you walk. Or, dip the end of the straw right into the lake and drink until you're hydrated. As a hiking or camping water filter, the LifeStraw provides great convenience. A purifier or pump filter is great, but it takes a fair amount of time to wait for the purification or filtering to complete. Instead, experience the convenience of drinking directly from the water source using your LifeStraw. Perfect when you are hiking, or relaxing around camp.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLifeStraw for Emergency Preparedness \u0026amp; Survival\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn light of recent natural disasters, many people are realizing they cannot depend on their city water during an emergency. A water filter that's lightweight, easy-to-use, and portable is important to have in your emergency preparedness kit. Buy a LifeStraw for each member in your household - it's a low-cost investment in security.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the LifeStraw Personal filter out salt water, chemicals or viruses?\u003c\/strong\u003e The LifeStraw Personal is designed for the backcountry and will filter out 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria and 99.9% of waterborne protozoan parasites.
