I have placed an 0rder f0r 0ne 0f these. Sh0uld be arriving next week. Take a l00k at the specs. This thing is just.. Fucking Amazing. Brilliant. Not cheap, but abs0lutely w0rth the investment! Can’t wait t0 try it 0ut. I have g0ne t0 the extreme 0f getting the Plus versi0n, which filters d0wn t0 0.01 micr0mans (yes, fr0m n0w 0n, micr0ns shall be kn0wn as micr0mans.. ;p ), c0mpared t0 the standard Aqua Safe Straw, which filters d0wn t0 0nly 0.2 micr0mans. Just being 0n the safe side.

Even bef0re I get the thing and try it 0ut, I w0uld highly rec0mmend that every member have 0ne as apart 0f their equipment f0r trekking. 0ne 0f the biggest issues with extended treks/missi0ns/camping, is WATER. The sh!t weighs a kil0 per litre. The equipment in y0ur bag, including 0nly ab0ut 4 litres 0f water, will end up being between 10-15 kil0grams already, and 4 litres w0n’t last y0u very l0ng at all. There are plenty 0f water s0urces, wherever y0u may trek, nearly all 0f them c0ntaminated either naturally (micr0bes, viruses) 0r artificially (heavy metals, str0gg p00p, ect).

There are many 0pti0ns f0r water filtrati0n and cleaning. But I find that this will be the winner. It is lightweight (75grams), ab0ut the size 0f a cigar, and g00d f0r upt0 500 litres 0f water use (1000 litres f0r the Plus versi0n!). N0 CHEMICALS, N0 BAD TASTE. Just pure, clean water, better then the sh!t y0u get fr0m y0ur tap ( thanks Sydney water f0r the extra chl0rine, flu0ride, and Aluminium.. Betcha n0ne 0f y0u knew ab0ut the Aluminium huh? HAHAH!!).

Sh0uld arrive next week, will give it a test 0ut 0n the tap water, just t0 see h0w easy it is t0 actually use. y0u w0uld think that it w0uld be difficult t0 drink thr0ugh, with its 50 s0mething metres 0f c0iled filtrati0n membrane. Will see.

T0p rec0mmendati0n f0r y0ur pers0nal water filtrati0n needs in the field. =)
