Living here near Los Angeles, we’ve got some decent hiking spots within a short drive. Used to be, I’d load up a heavy hydration bladder even for a quick few-hour trek. One time on a 9 hour hike I got lost and ran out of water. Then I started thinking, “There’s gotta be a backup for next time i run out of water.” That’s where the LifeStraw Personal Water Filter came in. Now, I just carry a medium water bottle and the Lifestraw, knowing I can refill it from a stream or even a less-than-crystal-clear natural water source if I have to.

The real beauty of this LifeStraw on the trail is the weight and space savings. It can freeing up room in my pack for snacks and other essentials. When I come across a clean running water source and if i am out of bottled water, I just use the LifeStraw in, and drink straight from it like a straw. It’s that simple.
The peace of mind knowing it removes 99.99% of Waterborne Bacteria (Including E. Coli and Salmonella), and 99.99% of Waterborne Parasites (Including Giardia and Cryptosporidium) is huge. You see water in nature, but you never really know what’s lurking in it. The LifeStraw takes that worry off my mind. Plus, it even Removes Microplastics, which is something you don’t often think about but is definitely a bonus these days.
I haven’t had any issues with clogging or slow flow rates on my longer hikes. The LifeStraw water tastes clean, with no weird aftertaste.
For anyone who does day hikes around here and is tired of carrying a ton of water, the LifeStraw is a good option. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and gives you access to a whole lot more hydration options.
