"LifeStraw - We make contaminated water safe to drink." basically it is a straw that turns dirty waters into clean water than you can immediately drink. There have been videos online of people drinking from it from murky waters that i wouldn't even bathe in I may try it, on water that does not look dirty.. but that's it it is useful for trekkers though

I have nit heard of this yet but if it is a guarantee that the water will be safe, then yes

I am not sure if I can do it. I prefer to have water from the rain and boil it.

@owstalaga I haven't done it. But, I had seen some local people across the border do this method.

@lady1993 Am not sure if I'd say it's a good thing because I don't think I'd like to try using it :)

I probably won't try to drink from a lifestraw. I have not seen any or how it works, but since there is no filter (i guess) it is probably not very safe still. If i fully understand how it cleans the water, then yes I might give it a chance.

it is a huge straw..i think the filter is what makes it a bit bigger

Haha, I've seen that video. Sure why not if I get it for free. Lol. Otherwise I dunno I will just drink the cleanest water I can find and hope I don't get sick.

it is quite expensive to just give to people though but i guess that is the only way i'd drink from it too

I'd try it but I'd have medicines with me just in case the LifeStraw doesn't work.

I have seen videos regarding this one,too. But i don't think the water is more safe to drink of just using it.
