Survival & Backpacking Water Filter Test Results

Found via this week's Woodpile Report (www.woodpilereport.com), Survival & Backpacking Water Filter Tests where many popular water filters/purifiers were evaluated by an independent laboratory that specializes in water and anti-microbial device testing.

 

Wish this article had come out before my recent LifeStraw Personal purchase, I'd have gone with the H2O Survival Filter Travel Straw instead.

 

Sourdough turned me on to the woodpile report, lots of info.

 

Very interesting report. Thank you for sharing.

 

Wow, great information. Appreciate the article.

 

My personal experience , those suck it through the filter and drink systems seems to work just fine for the individual , but for more than one person a different system might be more appropriate . You will need cooking water and not all foods require bringing water to a boil and you certainly don't want to find yourself sucking water through a straw and spiting it in a pot .

 

Thinking the same. With a manual transfer pump you could probably use the straw-types as inline filters like the Sawyer, but for home / BOL use something like a Berkey would be better - just be sure to get the black filters.
