One Of The Best Water Filters I've Ever Tested! The LifeStraw Peak

[@tracystephens4737]

It probably will not gravity flow due to vacuum from a lack of air flow, if you were to put a small hole in the bottom of the bottle it would allow enough air for the gravity flow feature to function properly

Just like smokin a geeb lol

So open the lid and suck

[@Robertssurvivalsystems]

Heck yeah man. Thanks for funding and sharing that item. I might have to add that to my wish list 🤔

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

I was very happy with it and surprised. Will be using it a lot.

[@survivalistboards]

I like the way you come across in your video - good job on the review

Thanks for sharing this product Dan. Have a great day.🇺🇲🔪🔥🌲

Thanks, you too!

Another great review Dan. Thank you

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Thank you!

These are super handy to have in an emergency. I have two of them by Survivor filter and carry one in my EDC.

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

I'll definitely be buying a few more for each of my kits.

[@baileymoto]

You should do a comparison between this and the sawyer squeeze.

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Thank you. If Sawyer will provide one, I definitely will.

[@HNg-re5rx]

how many times can you use this filter before you throw it out ?

[@sandygap1]

A package of 4 for around $50, at Costco, is what I paid last week.

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Nice!

[@BrookZerihun]

I think the bottle would work as well, but no way for air to escape

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

I was thinking that's probably the reason. Thank you!

[@MrDkgio]

Beat me to it, it definitely does with the sawyer mini (my preference, 100,000 gallons, lighter and smaller) Might I suggest that unless you are drinking or filling a container that you keep the cap on. Mini sawyer is definitely my favourite, it just works, smaller easier to carry and 100,000 gallons

[@jeffkarp3049]

For usage with the CNOC, did it still continue to flow under gravity only when the water level in the bag was low so there was less pressure? Or was squeezing the water bag required?

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

@@jeffkarp3049 it kept flowing under gravity. Still my favorite set up!

[@Limicola1]

Nice! Is that a 1 or 2 liter CNOC bag? One of the things I always carried when I used to backpack was coffee filters. I would fill a container with water (or place the hose directly in a water source), let the silt settle, then use a water filter that I could pump to fill my water bottles, covering the hose first with a coffee filter wrapped with a rubber band. Is there anyway you can think of to prefilter your water to remove silt first in this system? Silt is the enemy of water filters.

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

This is the 1 liter. I also have the 2, which I like better. As far as pre filtering, if things are really bad I'll use my bandana. It could be used over my cup as I scoop water to fill the cnoc bag, or even wrapped around filter if drinking from creek.

[@Limicola1]

I discovered that hanging flow works with a water bottle if you loosen the bottle. Just loosen the bottle but not so loose that it leaks. I just tried it and it works. It lets air into the bottle which helps water move into the tube.@@ochocobushcraft1742

[@Limicola1]

Ok, so I bought the 1 liter bag and paired it with a 32 ounce nalgene bottle. Collect water with the nalgene, let the sediment settle in the bottle, then pour it into the plastic bag, then filter.into another container. I attached a loop of paracord to the nalgene bottle with gorilla tape which allows me to attach a length of paracord and pitch the bottle into a lake (or wherever) and retrieve. Back when I did a lot of backpacking in cold weather along Lake Michigan, this saved me from getting wet to collect water. Not a trivial matter when the lake and the weather are cold. In those days I used a vinal bucket that worked well.@@ochocobushcraft1742

Great review as always!!!

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Thanks again!

[@Orangefiltration]

I am UF filters manufacturer.😀

[@tracystephens4737]

What I would really like to know, is if a life straw or Grayl will improve Salt Water enough to drink in an absolute emergency?

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Both companies have a customer service team that could probably answer that. I'd be curious to know what they say if you ask them.

[@GreenSnowleaf]

As for life straw: the website says no. It is not safe to drink salt water. The filter is simply not fine enough to filter out salt!

[@brashachilles9725]

You to go to a marine supply website. May have some expensive saltwater gravity filter. Other option is electrical powered osmosis. Battery portable units are available.

[@marcferguson886]

What HydroBlu filter do you carry in your larger pack?

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

The Versaflow. I actually have come to like this filter even more, but the Versaflow lasts for thousands of gallons.

[@mikedendooven6484]

Is there a warning about damaging the filter if the filter is frozen in sub freezing temperatures?

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

I didn't see one. It says to blow the water out when finished, so maybe that is enough. Mine's been out a couple times now in we'll below freezing and working perfectly.

[@mikedendooven6484]

@@ochocobushcraft1742 Thanks!

[@prophotos365]

The water bag will compress as the water flows the bottle will not!

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Thank you

[@hellobeen]

for gravity feed: drill a small hole in the bottom of the bottle so it can suck air in. and there is no vacuum
