Having access to clean drinking water is critical to living and if you are ever faced with a situation where your clean water supply is limited a Personal Water Filter can be a lifesaver. You don’t have to be in the wilderness to have a need for a personal water filtration system as recent problems with municipalities water systems have demonstrated. Boiling water is one solution that is effective but the LifeStraw Personal Water Filter as well as the Sawyer Products Mini Water Filtration System are both low cost, easy, and effective solutions. I chose to go with the Sawyer filter as I liked its multiple features and ability to filter more gallons of water.
