If you’ve been hemming and hawing about whether to plunk down roughly $20 on a LifeStraw, then I’m here to let you know that it’s time to pull the trigger and pick one up for yourself.
When I first heard about LifeStraw it was in a survivalist context, and I assumed that someone like me — a city-dwelling indoor gal who has never been camping a day in her life — would never have use for one.
Furneaux said that she believes everyone should have a LifeStraw and a first aid kit on hand anytime they enter the outdoors for an extended period of time, as a precautionary measure should anything go wrong.
You can also get LifeStraw water pitchers and water bottles for your home and travels.
Get it from Amazon for $17.49+ (available in four colors and with a case).
