Take it from a guy who drinks copious amounts of water, this filter is the king of survival items. "Survivorman" Les Stroud has, in fact, contracted giardia in his survival adventures. Les is a teacher who's lessons are sometimes taught at the expense of his health. His lesson? Don't take chances with parasites or bacteria. This handy little filter fits in your back pocket and will filter up to 20 gallons, enough to sustain one person for days to weeks. I keep one in the car, one at home, and I never hike anywhere without one.

I ordered a couple of these and keep them in my vehicles. We are often out hiking in the woods, and either forget to bring water, or run out of water. These filters are life savers! Just make sure you rinse all the carbon dust out of them before you have to use them.

This one of those "better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it" items.I have not yet needed it,because I have been lucky enough to not have to need it.That said,it could really save your life at best,and save you from some kind of disease at worst in an emergency situation.Besides,they are really inexpensive and fit into your pocket.How much is your life worth?

I live near a river, and it's nice to be able to cary this in my fanny pack on any day hike for emergencies. I plan to get several!
