Good afternoon, Steemians!
I had forgotten that I had ordered two more life straws to add to my collection, if you will, when I went out to get the mail.
If you're not familiar with the life straw, you should really check it out. It's basically revolutionary technology that allows you to filter unclean water from an unclean source and have it be clean. I have a few Lifestraws, which I highly recommend. They "Make contaminated water safe to drink." It's truly amazing the technology at our fingertips and I'm sure many people haven't even heard of this revolutionary, life-saving device. Basically one straw costs around $15 if you get a 3-pack, and each one can filter 1,000 liters of contaminated water, or enough water for 1 human to drink in one year. That blows my mind. A few big name YouTubers have tested these out, such as Rhett and Link. Here is a link to the website and the video underneath:
I recently made a post where Rhett and Link made a video testing this product out. They drink some pretty gross stuff through the Lifestraw. I believe they even drank urine from a urinal.
The two I picked up
Now we have a total of four, so in a SHTF situation, my wife and I would both have clean drink water for 2 years. (1 Lifestraw yields about 1,000 liters of water, about what one person consumes in a year).
I have much more peace of mind knowing that I could drink my rainwater with this thing and 99.999999% of bacteria would be removed.
Anyway, please read up on these if you haven't already, they're not expensive and well worth your life if something threatens the water supply!
Thanks for stopping by, Steemians!
