Buy at least Three, and keep one in your go bag, keep one sealed with your emergency supplies. Use one so that you are confident should you really have to use it. I do recommend this product and if you got it on black Friday you were lucky to get a multi pack at a good price.

Great product. Read the directions. Easy to use and worked very well. Took a 4 mile hike through the woods with my son and I knew there was water along the trail so we just brought life straws and a couple bottles as a back up. They performed very well and are entirely worth the money. Good for 1000 Gallons of filtration at 99.9% effectiveness again giardia, cryptosporidium, and e-coli as well as dirt and sediments. Kind of thing that can save your life. You can go 2-4 weeks without food, but maybe 2 - 3 days without water depending on your amount of exposure, environment, and health.

I bought this life straw according to the reviews that I read but I’m really hoping that I never need to use it. I bought it for my emergency preparedness kit, so of course I’m hoping I never need to break it out and use it.

I saw Bear Gylls drink water from a street puddle using this and that sold me. I don't intend to do that but it's certainly good for drinking from streams and such. I tried that and the water tasted clear and did no harm. Buy one and pop it into your Bug-Out bag and you'll be happy if it ever comes to the day when you are forced to drink anything but clean water...
