So, if you’re looking for a reliable water filter, this review is definitely worth reading!

Let’s dive into my Lifestraw review…..

My experience with Life Straw personal water filters…..

I originally mentioned this product in one of my earlier posts titled “Survival Water Purification Systems.” I really like these straws because they are easily portable and give you an excellent option if you come across water that needs to be purified quickly.  


I personally keep two of these straws in each of my survival kits that I have in my cars.  If we become stranded for any reason  we can find a body of water and easily use these straws to stay hydrated.

Easily Used During Hiking


They could also be used for backpacking and would make a light weight option to carry for your water needs.

They could also be used for camping or in any situation where you might need to filter water quickly.


Life Straw brand also offers a variety of different products ranging from personal water bottles with filters on them to larger purification systems.  I personally own the straws but may look into the larger systems in the future.

Here are some features and details of some of the products available by Lifestraw.

My Final Thoughts:

I feel like this is a very versatile company that  has many options depending on your needs. I personally enjoy the peace of mind that it brings me and my family, knowing that if we have these products with us then we will have the ability to get clean drinking water when we need it.

As you have seen above, Lifestraw offers several different products that can help you shore up your water preparation plan, depending on your needs and situation.

Statistically we can only survive 3 days without water, so this is something that we need to take very seriously and make sure that we will have a way to get clean water if disaster strikes.

I personally look forward to seeing what new products LifeStraw comes out with next.

Other companies have come out with their own versions of personal water filters which in turn has upped the competition and made all water filter companies come up with better and improved products…

In conclusion…….

I would highly recommend checking out these products. They have been very convenient for me and my family and it is reassuring that we have these just in case an emergency arises. NOT SCARED ALWAYS PREPARED!!!!!

Thank You for taking the time to read this lifestraw review. I hope it was helpful and will help you make an informed choice in your prepping needs.
