I am looking at those smaller water filtration straws and want some feedback from the panel here. Some of these pump systems look like they would break at the worst moment and less moving parts seems like the way to go.
One looks like this:
$33 And specs out as :
[FONT=helvetica,arial]Survival Straw.[/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica,arial]The Survival Straw is a unique solution for water purification. By drinking through the Survival Straw, you destroy harmful bacteria, remove chlorine, water-soluble heavy metals, pesticides, arsenic, mercury, EDB, and other carcinogens. Odor and bad taste are also eliminated as the water is purified. Certified tests show that the Survival Straw will remove 99.99% of bacteria, Giardia, and EDB pesticides from your water source. The Survival Straw weighs only two ounces and is 1 1/4 " in diameter by 7 1/2 " long. Processes up to 5,000 gallons of water. [/FONT]
-------------------------------------------------------
Another is a bit different and is on Ebay for under $20. and looks like it could connect to a camel back?
Comments? I want one for use in the motorcycle luggage for trips and to keep around in the kit bag. I want to try and stay away from chemical units (iodine) and cheap breakable units that need expensive replacement cartridges, I would rather use the cheaper ebay one and throw it away after a trip and keep a few in stock.
