RE: Survival Items: Lifestraw And Inflatable Solar Lantern - DTube Upload AND Embedded Video - YOU CHOOSE!
Those are good for when you're on the move and don't have time to kill, but something to keep in mind; once you use it the part between the filter and the mouth piece (on the inside) will be a place for germs to grow and spread. So experts recommend 3 month life whether it's clogged or not; the other thing is when it gets heavier and harder to use, time to throw it away..
All in all good to have for every individual.
I would recommend the sawyer backpacking models for each of you as well, (better filtration, more life, but takes longer) when you get there...
Lastly you need a Sawyer point zero two.. I think it's only about 60 bucks, and you will also need a clean 5 gallon bucket to use it... The Sawyer point zero two takes you down to 0.2 microns, incredible actually, that means not even viruses can pass!
and it's back flush-able which means the filter life is nearer to indefinite.. they use these for whole villages in impoverished Nations..
Clean water for yourselves is good; clean water for a village, that falls under the distinction of Kick Ass!
Keep up the good work SqB!
With the Lifestraws, I'm kinda hoping that with continuous use, the germ collecting issue won't be so bad. You have to blow it out between uses too and don't let it get too cold. We can share one and save the second one too. That's an option to extend the "no fire" option. Once in a safe location I am still worried about a strong heat signature....DRONES. Depending on the reason for the bug out. If it's to hide from the Beast System, drones and more will be a big issue. Yeah, I had a lifestraw/water bottle combo and it's noticeable when it's spent and needs to go. I also have a collapsable (sp?) bucket for collecting rainwater. With that said.........

CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could have gone this way. I didn't know about this. Even the mini filter filters much more...100,000 gallons. AHHHH OHHH III WAAANTTTTT. I will investigate their site and where I want to buy from. I will more than likely have some Christmas gifts in cash to buy myself something I want or need. I can not thank you enough. I have always assumed I could do a fire in a shelter as long as the light is shielded and smoke is not seen at night. Having surveillance tech everywhere changes my 20 year old plan ALOT!. I am so glad we are all on here to share info. THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!
Hey alright! i forgot you could back flush the life straw!!
Life straw = get home bag,
sawyer mini = bug out bag
sawyer zero point 2 = restarting a community
I am so grateful for my steemit pals. We make a great team!
