Great water filter for the camp, 12L reservoir, and using the excellent lifetraw filter. Great for single person camp or multi person as its gives very good capacity as well as being very easily portable and a nice easy set up too.

The LifeStraw will not desalinate water.

The lifestraw must used as described in the information that comes with it.

Note: When you try the LifeStraw for the first time, you have to prime it. Uncap it and stand it up in your water bottle for a few seconds, then do 5 quick sucks (not one big one) and the water will flow. If it clogs while drinking muddy water, just blow back into it to purge the water and mud out, then resume drinking.
