A water filter is definitely something I still need to get ahold of for my bugout kit.

It's too easy to take clean water for granted here in the USA, but after a disaster strikes, or an emergency, having clean water is one of the highest priorities a survivor should have. Without clean water, you are more susceptible to getting sick, and unable to fend for yourself.

Currently I don't have any water filter system, so this would help my bugout kit immensely.

Definitely need a water filtration kit of any kind! When all hell breaks loose and water treatment plants shut down you have to take matters into your own hands.
Same reason I've got plenty of antibiotics on hand.

Sabrina

9/8/2014 08:21:06 am

I'd use it in my emergency bag.

Delila M.

Definitely goes into my hiking GO pack.

Mary Toleson

9/8/2014 08:30:54 am

It would go in my go everywhere bag

Mike

A LifeStraw would add a crucial element to my gear - clean water anywhere at anytime. Sure, water can be boiled etc. but sometimes ya just gotta stay on the move. LifeStraw could be a LifeSaver.

John Marraffino link

9/8/2014 08:34:07 am

I'd keep one in each car.

Lori S

9/8/2014 08:43:32 am

Thanks for the giveaway! I would use the LifeStraw in my get home bag. There is a small pond on my way home from work where I could collect more water if needed.

Teri Tibbetts

9/8/2014 08:45:52 am

the life straw would give me security that i could have fresh safe drinking water if a disaster happens

Kathy Nevling

9/8/2014 08:49:03 am

I would really like this to add to our camping/survival gear and tomorrow is my birthday 😬

Janel Riebeling

9/8/2014 08:50:48 am

I would keep it with my hurricane preparedness supplies. We were without running water several years ago. Wouldn't want to go through that again unprepared!

Patty Kasiewicz

9/8/2014 08:53:36 am

It would be perfect on our camping trips ,when clean water to drink is not readily available also i would want one for my bug out bag

Jack Taylor

9/8/2014 09:04:45 am

A life straw would be a valuable addition to my BOB.

Julie Harris

9/8/2014 09:12:24 am

Out here in the desert, you never know where you will be able to find water and what shape it will be in. Having a water filter would enable me to use water just about anyplace I could find it.

Christy j

9/8/2014 09:16:25 am

I would carry it with me or put it in my BOB (which needs many items!). Thank you for the chance.

Steve Sanders

9/8/2014 09:27:20 am

Should the grid go down long term, that life straw would come in handy for drinking water in the rain barrels while I get the well water switched over from electric to hand pump.

Tina Dibernardo link

9/8/2014 10:20:19 am

I working on putting together a bug out bag as I am fairly new to the process, and I have been buying first aid items and learning survival skills.

Diane

9/8/2014 10:34:48 am

This would be great in my car bob. It's 16miles to work and this might be handy.

Chairle Bass

9/8/2014 11:09:25 am

I would definitely take it camping with us when we go and put it with our emergency supplies when at home.

Cathy

9/8/2014 12:04:22 pm

It would go in my Get-Home bag, for sure!

Charles

9/8/2014 12:11:08 pm

While I have some prepackaged water, and some tablets inmy go-bag, water is one area where I recognize a deficiency in my gear. I am near a water supply, but it is not palatable as-is, and my long term shtf plans involve distilling, but there may be times when that is simply not a viable solution.

Crishna

9/8/2014 12:24:44 pm

Thank you Betty! for the opportunities you give us all to learn from you and your trials and tribulations. Following you is one of the best things I have done on Facebook.

As for the straw - water is the key to life and although I have a stock pile of bottled water due to the fact that that I WILL NOT DRINK OR COOK with the city tap water. The straw can stay with me at all times because your luxuries like stockpiles may be out of reach in a time of an emergency, and if you have to choose one thing to keep you alive, its water!

Hobby Neely

9/8/2014 12:37:30 pm

I want to thank you for all the cool posts and invaluable info you share with us. If I were to win the Life straw giveaway, it would fine a sweet home in my Bug Out Bag (or "get my ass home bag").

Cathy

9/8/2014 02:23:30 pm

It will go in the bug-out bag, if bugging-out is even possible from NYC! God knows when I'll have to use it!

Daniel L.

9/8/2014 04:06:07 pm

I would use it when I go camping in the Spring and Fall.

Dale link

Ooooo a water filter compact and extremely useful. :) yes please

lola

9/8/2014 08:56:51 pm

we have a small lke less than half mile from hre if need be i could get water from there and filter it with the straw i have 10 grankids within 5 miles so it would get a workout

Susan Franklin

Roger Morris

In our car bag. We'll either be leaving in it or passing by it if we have to go by other means.

Jewell Montgomery

9/9/2014 05:48:47 am

If there is an emergency situation where our current water supply is not available, this water filtration system would be used to filter water from our creek or the nearby springs and lake.

Becky

9/9/2014 10:29:20 am

A water filter would be useful nearly EVERYWHERE if there's an emergency! Thanks so much for all the info you share with us, Betty!

LoriAnne in Oregon

9/9/2014 12:17:41 pm

A water filter is essential in so many circumstances! I would love to win it. Thanks for the opportunity.

Carol Harshman

It would go in my B.O.B. that I keep in my car.

Sharon Wallace link

When you're on the move in a disaster situation or run out of water in the wild, this straw could make all the difference in your experience/survival.

Madeline Frisch

9/10/2014 04:21:25 am

We would put the survival straw in our emergency kit.

Victor Galbraith

maryann grace

9/10/2014 08:13:33 am

I would add this to my car kit, or my 48 hour bag. I have one similar in my long term bag, but I need 4 more for my family.

robyn cobb

9/10/2014 01:19:10 pm

i'd test it on water supplies near me to see how well it works and then always carry it with me after that

Brad Gold

9/11/2014 10:23:06 pm

This would end up in the survival pack I am making for my daughter who lives 5 hours from us but does a lot of road travel from her place to her hometown to visit.

Jennifer Smith

9/11/2014 10:23:13 pm

I often find myself in the woods walking trails with my dog an son or at the camp on top of the small mountain overlooking the river. No running water so a lifestraw would come in very handy not to mention as another means of clean water should I run out of what I have stocked :)

Kathie Underwood

9/11/2014 10:47:46 pm

I had an experience once, while on active duty. While hiking through the jungle in Panama, we came across a small village. Having depleted our water supply in our canteens, we drank from their village well. Montezuma's Revenge doesn't even come close to what I experienced. TMI? Needless to say, one of these filters sure would have come in handy back then. Certainly would today as well. ;-)

Rebecca G

9/11/2014 10:56:01 pm

I think that having a filter for any of my family members is critical, but for one disabled child a straw is the only way she can drink at all. For her it would be extremely critical to have access to safe water .

Marcel

9/11/2014 11:02:32 pm

This would go right into my daughters emergency car bug out bucket.

A. McDaniel

9/11/2014 11:04:10 pm

I know how to treat water with both bleach and iodine for consumption but that takes time. The life straw would allow me to drink while I wait for my treated work to work.

Lando Cantu

9/11/2014 11:08:08 pm

A definite in any bug-out bag. This is great for getting water "on the go." When you really don't have time to boil/prepare water. A must if you really have to keep moving!

Jody Kordenbrock

9/11/2014 11:22:24 pm

I would only use this when necessary. I would have it put with my emergency backpack and it would be one way for me to get clean drinking water in case something were to happen.

Regina Paris

9/11/2014 11:39:30 pm

Would come in very handy for the #1 basic survival equipment.
Thanks for your generosity !

Josie T

9/12/2014 04:58:58 am

A LifeStraw Personal Water Filter would help me to become more prepared for a disaster or an emergency because I do not currently have one. We have water stored up, yet in an event that we have to leave our house (or something happens to our house), we would NEED a water filter. I heard they are lightweight and would fit right into my backpack. Sure would appreciate this! Thank you in advance.

9/12/2014 06:44:33 am

I would use LifeStraw Personal Water filter in my car kit, as I have them
in my bob already.

John

9/13/2014 01:39:57 am

Im grabbing my bag, jumping on the atv and heading for the hills so to speak. I would use the life straw to help live off the land in a small quiet aspect until things settled down in the urban areas.

Janice

9/13/2014 01:58:23 am

I would put the life straw in our family bug out bag in case of an emergency.

I am still, slowly getting our BOBs together. Water filtration system is the one area I lack. I've heard a lot of great things about Life Straw and looking forward to purchasing some when budget allows.

Theresa

9/15/2014 12:45:22 pm

Wow. Hard to choose. But I think it would be kept in my car emergency bag. I could easily grab it if needed in other situations other than on the road, but it would be there if I needed it on the road.

Lorelei Wolkens

9/16/2014 01:42:39 am

I live in South Ms. and over the years, I've learned how to prepare for Hurricanes, Hurricane Katrina showed me I wasn't ready, Having a way to filter water is must have that I didn't think about at the time, This will help me the next time we get hit by one, Something I will greatly appreciate.

Kari

9/16/2014 09:35:27 am

We have a water source on our property. I would use it for that.

Heather

9/16/2014 11:25:18 am

The life straw would be a great addition to my get home bag. It's much lighter than carrying a ton of water.

Leneica Lee

9/22/2014 01:34:22 am

I still need one of these for my BOB. I'm disabled so getting some of the things I need have been a slow process because of my income. There is a river about 3 blocks from the house, so that is my closest water source once I run out of my stock. Definately going to need one of these.

Dawn Wise

9/22/2014 02:12:37 pm

After spending last weekend in a somewhat remote area on a friend's undeveloped property... I have a much stronger appreciation for water! Fortunately, we brought *enough* water that we got through the last day and were able to fill the solar shower with creek water. Just eeked by though!

LifeStraw seems like a must have for any hiking/remote travel one might do. Never know when it is going to take you longer than you think!

Would love to have one in my BOB which as of now I do not. Would be a great addition. Thanks :)

would keep in vehicle emergency bag. Water is necessary, but often not potable when caught in weird situations.

I live way out in the woods on a secluded mountain road and I live a semi-homesteading kind of life. I can't drink my well water unfortunately so I'm forced to have water delivered until I'm able to invest in home filtration. We have severe snow storms here in the mountains and I'm sometimes snowed in and outside vehicles cannot make the pass to my house - this can include my water delivery! So I would use a LifeStraw any time I am not able to receive my precious drinking water!

A Lifestraw would come in handy when taking the kids out on horseback in the woods and teaching them about bugging out, survival, and essentials before it happens. Our youngest needs experience adjusting ahead of time to things we will need to do in an emergency situation and that includes use of equipment like the Life Straw to drink from creeks and other areas.

it would go nicely in my 12 yo girls bag I'm putting together for her for her birthday. Although it's for her birthday, she's going to have to earn it piece by piece starting with the compass. She'll need that to find the rest.

Even if snhtf I could use it when I loose power for days. Which does happen. Thanks for the opportunity!

With the flooding and fires around here water acces gets cut off sometimes and we have to boil water. Need to have a filter on hand for faster access.

3 minutes with out air
3 days with out water
3 weeks with out food....
This could be a life saver! I would love to add it to our collection of prepper supplies.
Thanks for the fun give away Betty!

I work with people who have disabilities and they struggle with comprehending the serious nature of being prepared. I would use it as a visual teaching aid to help them comprehend one of the many ways one can be prepared for what ever may come their way

Life straw would definitely be a great addition to my emergency bag.

I would test it and if it works for myself and family, then I would put it in my BOB, and the other ones I purchased, would go in to my families and long term storage ;)

Defiantly going in my go bag

I would put it in my backpack for when I go hiking in the Ozarks with my kids. People have gotten lost and been stuck overnight before and while I have not, it's best to be prepared.

This is something I have been wanting to get! Water is a big concern for me and while I have addressed the issue for home, I really want a LifeStraw for my emergency bag. Fingers crossed! :)

I'd be grateful for a life straw in an emergency, as I'm disabled due to an accident. Part off my spinal cord injury is that I sweat profusely with any physical stressor. I consume large amounts of water every day. I'm still learning to cope with life changes and water is a critical component of survival that would be difficult to obtain and purify. Thanks Betty!

Well how else would I be able to get clean water during the zombie apocalypse??

My plan for the Life Straw, should I win it, is to put it in safe keeping against a future day of need (SHTF scenario). We have a well on our place here, so we do have access to water, however, it must be filtered and purified. It is perfectly usable as is to flush commodes by hand, etc. However, for drinking and cooking, it will have to be treated. I am a diabetic, and I drink a great deal of water daily. The Life Straw would be invaluable to me in a serious situation.

I already have a couple for my husband and me. So, I would give any others away to my grown children who are just getting on the prepper bandwagon.

Tamara Rogers

Considering that I don't have anything for purifying water yet, I would add it in my bugout bag and be very happy that it was available.

My husband has been wanting to try a lifestraw both for survival gear, but also for hunting and camping. So, while I would like to get some to add to prepping supplies, the lifestraw personal filter would probably also see some regular use :)

I've been wanting a LifeStraw for my hiking bag but after reading some of the other comments I think it may just be kept in the car so it is always close by wherever I am whenever I need it.

I am a mom of two and I always need tobe prepared. I have heard amazing things about life straw and would love to have one. Thanks!

A life straw would be great to have around here on our property to help with the creek water if all electrical is lost and we lose the usage of our well.

I've wanted a Life-Straw for awhile now but can't afford it. Water is vital to life but in addition to that I am on daily medication and need to stay hydrated. The Life-Straw would go right into my purse along with everything else that I carry with me at all times "just in case".

It would go in my emergency bag.
