 Basic Survival H2O Portable Filter System! February 26, 2010
David Michael (Hawaii)
The BEST Emergency Waters Filter Systems is ... "Always The ONE that You have with You"! I purchased three, one for different applications and it's money well spent, for those situations that have been totally unplanned, whether on a mission, trail guide, camping, spelunking the outback or military. It's very Light, Simple to use, 2-piece filter system that will do in a emergency situation.
I wrap mine in a zipper lock bag, tied with a heavy duty rubber bands ... all items that I can use, in the moment.

This "straw" only filters down to 3.0 microns.
This will NOT filter out viruses.
Minimum you should get is 1.0 micron rating or below as it will inhibit Cryptosporidium and Guardia (the cysts are larger than this in size).
Even this is not really effective enough as most viruses cannot be inhibited by a filter with a micron rating of more than 0.01-0.03 microns.
Do your homework before you buy any survival product!
Better to have and not need... February 2, 2010
Tactical Tradecraft (Arizona)
The Aquamira Frontier Emergency Water Filter System is one of those items that is better to have and not need than to need and not have. Hopefully you would never be in a situation to need this product but if you do it is a great last resort filtration system. If given the opportunity I would still prefer to boil water, use water filtration tablets or even a higher quality filter. But, if this is all I have I am still good to go!
This system is very light, doesn't take up much room, is simple to use and priced within everyones budget. It can filter up to about 20 gallons which means that it will last a very long time. It wouldn't be a bad idea to keep one of these in all of your packs.

Essential item for third world travels August 11, 2009

I bought the Aquamira filtration straw as a lightweight way to keep safe and not get sick from water-born illnesses (Cryptosporidiosis and Giardiasis being the two major ones) while abroad. I still carry water filtration tablets while abroad as a "just in case" item, but let's face it - that's a pain to deal with and you need to be planning ahead. Sometimes you just need to drink now.
I really can't get over how light this thing is. It weighs less than an ounce, and fits easily inside of any pocket you can think of. The collapsible straw is a bonus. The straw is rated at being able to filter around 20 gallons of water before it's discarded.
The price and size make this a "must have" for any hiker/camper/traveler/survivalist. Sure, you'll probably not use it, you'll be glad you have it.
