Self-Sufficiency and Preppers

[Sapphire]

Wanted to let you all know. It is a decent deal imo. I just ordered a few. Water is the most important thing when it comes to survival and with how the world is looking these days, it can't hurt to be prepared. Might be worth getting them for the whole fam as Christmas gifts at this price. They are just the standard blue ones.

That's a good deal! I paid $20 per LifeStraw at Walmart. Thanks for the info!

I got mine delivered today. If the deal is still on, might get a few more. I mean this is the cheapest I had ever seen them. I know some knock-offs sell for $10 but I don't trust them. They haven't been tested as well.

Related, my Lifestraw bottle arrived today.
I like it, & I can already tell that I'm going to use it a lot!

How does a life straw compare with water purification tablets?

How does a life straw compare with water purification tablets?

A lifestraw will let you drink water instantly, it lasts for several gallons, and it filters out everything except viruses.
The tablets work great, but you have to wait for them to work before you drink. The tablets also don't affect the water's flavor, but a Life Straw can remove nasty taste from dirty water.

The downsides to a Life Straw is that if the water is really dirty, it can be hard to suck water at first. Also, you might have to kneel in mud or dirt to use your Life Straw in a body of water.

Life Straws are more expensive up front, but they're a better value since they last so much longer than tablets, IMO.

Both are great to have. Use your Life Straw for water you want to drink immediately, and use your tablets to clean water for cooking, bathing, etc.

Good to know. I've been purchasing water purification tablets for years now, and yes it can be a wait before they get to work. The explanation of the life straws is much appreciated 👊🏿. Will be adding life straws to my list. Thanks again Rollie Forbes

They are only $10 again. I wonder if they have overstock or something. Might grab a few more since they are on sale again. Why pay damn near $20 when you can get one for $10?
