The Lifesaver Liberty Water Filter Bottle Is Going In My Survival Kit

The Lifesaver Liberty Water Bottle is a combination filter bottle and water purifier pump that meets US miltary standards. It would be a great water filter for backpacking or camping or a good choice as part of an emergency kit, survival kit, bug out bag or get home bag.

Almost bought another purifier. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@gabrielpetri4143]

Grayl is the absolute only way to go

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Not sure I agree. I need to check out the new one

[@arweninnj]

👍for the Grayl as well

[@gabrielpetri4143]

@@SurvivalOnPurpose for sure should.

[@chefgav1]

@@SurvivalOnPurposeAny long term updates? Are you still using?

[@csh6220]

That is a nice filter. I like the hose/pump for getting to water in a hard to reach place. Thanks Brian.

[@redsorgum]

That looks like a nice system, when the filter price starts to come down, it will make it even better since it has a smaller amount of water filtration. The jerry can, now that's awesome. I was hoping you would balance test the bottle......

[@jackkoo1234]

i love the lifesaver liberty the only issue is that it only does 2000 liters. I have the lifesaver 6000 as this does 6000 liters. the lifesaver jerry can, can do 20000 liters and is perfect for base camping I agree with Brian. Remember these are purifiers which means they take out viruses too whereas the water filers DO NOT.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

true

[@9abe9]

True! But the other options (such as the Grayl) are much worse in durability

[@Castleknight]

Whoa, a different shirt today! Seasons have changed in Georgia!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Brrrr.

[@maninacan.6285]

Awesome and simple. Thanks Brian. I'll look into this system.

[@joefrank7159]

For the money, ease of use, size and light weight. The Sawyer mini filters are hard to beat.

[@h3llrayzor59]

I bought one. The pump handle broke on my 3rd. hike with it. I had enjoyed it immensely before that. For the price I paid, I expected much better quality. Thank God I had a redundant filter.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Did you contact them?

[@h3llrayzor59]

@@SurvivalOnPurpose I have. They told me it was normal "Wear & Tear" as I had purchased it back in March. It was only my third time using it. I wrote it off as one of those "Live & Learn" moments. I bought a Grayl filter bottle to replace this. You should do a review on it, it's awesome! Fill it, press it, Voila! 24 Oz. of Perfect water! It reviews 4.6/5

[@Woodenarrows]

I like that the Liberty filter includes Carbon filtration. Carbon is one of the main reasons I chose my Katadyn Hiker filter back in 2009. Your weekly email update mentioned the Grayl water bottle. I felt the same as you about it being kind of clunky. I was curious so I checked Amazon. It has quite a few negative reviews on Amazon...

[@semco72057]

That system looks about like one of the two I have in my backpack for campouts. The system is very expensive too and many will be looking at another cheaper system and one which can do the same thing.

[@arweninnj]

Take a look at the Grayl Geopress. Great water purifier (more than a filter).

[@brianmontana5700]

Great review and impressive product for sure!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks

[@edwo6648]

Nice enough, however the MSR Guardian costs less per gallon of filtered water and has a better overall design. The Guardian uses a lever for the pump which has mechanical advantage over pushing straight in.

[@markplane5994]

I am buying one next week. I have been looking at this for a while now, but on a limited budget, it had to be careful on my options. However, I have saved enough and will treat myself to an early Christmas present as here in the UK, they have reduced the price of the starter pack ( Extra carbon discs, spare filter, spare mouth pieces, silicone sleeve and carry bag, etc ) by over 70 Pounds (about 120 Dollars), so having one.

[@arweninnj]

You might want to take a look at the Grayl Geopress water purification system before pulling the trigger...

[@Charlielizard]

Thanks for the info. Great review and subsequent purchase to replace my current portable water filtration device. Have a good weekend and thanks.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks

[@jonnyboat2]

That is a good video. I’m going to check that out on the net. Good water wherever you go. Sounds like it’ll even turn city water with chlorine and stink into good water. Nice 👍.

[@arweninnj]

You might want to take a look at the grayl geopress water filter for comparison. Just sayin'.

[@jonnyboat2]

arweninnj Thanks. I will do that.

[@jonnyboat2]

arweninnj WOW!!! That’s a really good filter system. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4XRlICqhplqhtk

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks

[@gstokely7]

Good video and thanks for sharing.

[@Bob-lt5hf]

Sawyer water filter system is easier, cheaper at $37 compared to $99 for Liberty water filter is a no brainer. I will carry a Grayl water filter bottle before I carry a Liberty filter. Do you want to get dirty and wet on a stream and try to suck water from the Liberty filter. NOT! Sawyer system is multi use and depending on model you get 100K gallons of water to 1 million gallons of filtered water. You need to use a Milbank Bag to filter sediment, transfer water to sawyer for gravity feed filter and very clean water.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

But. The sawyer filter does not remove viruses. As far as I know, only this one and the MSR Guardian will do that. And the MSR is about $350.

[@Bob-lt5hf]

@@SurvivalOnPurpose The sawyer system does remove viruses, pesticides, chemicals, protozoa, and improves taste. I am not at all bashing your review and the liberty filter! I like your reviews and style. I just wanted to present other options that do the same thing at a much lower cost. I alway's boil my water no matter what filter I carry at that time. I never rely on claims to remove viruses. Just my thoughts.

[@arweninnj]

@@SurvivalOnPurpose the Grayl removes viruses

[@thefamily_ak1863]

What an awesome product , thx 4 sharing , peace Gby

[@lenainbelen592]

Great review!

[@jonfox1919]

I like the features of the lifesaver liberty, especially the carbon filter option but for now I'll probably stick with my Sawyer. It's compact, well proven, a fraction the price and has no moving parts to go wrong or break.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I like the Sawyer too, or the HudroBlu. But neither the Sawyer or the HydroBlu remove viruses.

[@mindofmadness5593]

Looks good but I'd buy several extra cartridges as one never knows when things will break down or the company goes 'Bye-bye'. Strange-I'm 54, was a kid/teen in the 70's and 80's and always been in the woods. I used to drink out of any old Creek or Stock Pond-even sapped water from under overhangs in the Desert. NBow? Can't even Tough outdoor water without getting some Brain-eating Amoeba or such.

[@ogivecrush]

For the price there are other products that will do everything this does and also remove lead and other heavy metals......probably not a huge concern in wilderness areas but might be if you need to use it in or near a city or other industrialized area......

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

What other products?

[@ogivecrush]

@@SurvivalOnPurpose The Lifestraw Flex, the GRAYL Ultralight, the Epic Nalgene OG, the Seychelle Extreme, and the Sawyer S-1 and S-3 are all considerably less expensive and all claim to remove or significantly reduce heavy metals. The Seychelle Extreme also claims to remove radiological contaminants. These are some that seem to be similar to the Lifesaver Liberty in terms of having a bottle.

[@9abe9]

​@@ogivecrushdo they remove viruses as well? In developing countries they the biggest concern

[@ogivecrush]

@@9abe9 Filters generally don't remove viruses, but boiling the water and/or treating it with chlorine will kill them.

[@9abe9]

@@ogivecrush you said the other products will do everything the Lifesaver does, and for much cheaper... but there is this big catch... most of them won't filter viruses, and the Lifesaver will... therefore, they aren't exactly the same, and you are comparing apple to oranges. As I said, viruses are a concern in developing countries

[@thorsbeat]

The grayl is the best filter I’ve used hands down.

[@arweninnj]

👍for the Grayl

[@chefgav1]

The Grayl has limitations.

[@krod1180]

Your channel rocks dude! Thanks!!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[@joelchevalier448]

How do you feel this compares to the MSR guardian filter. Does this one also filled her out viruses?

[@joelchevalier448]

I meant the the guardian purifier

[@tracysamps500]

I will stick with the Sawyer Squeeze.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I get it but this one removes viruses. The Sawyer does not.

[@conraddubois6150]

Will this filter pool water that has chemicals in the water?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

That is an excellent question that I don’t have a really good answer for. I would say it has to help. I guess it depends on what is in the water. I know it is supposed to remove heavy metals and chlorine. Not sure about algaecide

[@conraddubois6150]

Survival On Purpose We live in Fl and have a pool which will have enough water to last awhile but with pool salt and some other chemicals if this will take out chemicals we have plenty of water waiting if something happens where one does not have to leave.

[@bodbytodd]

Hey Brian, have you ever Reviewed the Grayl water botttle?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Not the newer one

[@bodbytodd]

The new one holds more and it's a faster process. It's my #1 one choice. My light weight option is survival resources Aqua pouch and the Hydroblu Sidekick water straw. Keep up the good work.

[@conroybent4586]

Dose the Liberty-life saver filter remove minerals or not ?

[@Onebandit]

I bought mine 1 1/2 years ago while kayaking last weekend mine split down the side couldn’t use .. contacted them directly and they said if I had my receipt they would replace don’t have that anymore so guess I wasted money on a not very reliable product. No wouldn’t recommend to anyone. Worked great for 4 kayak trips before left me high and dry, water tasted very good. I am very sad because I liked it

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Do you have to clean the filter ?

You rinse it with clean water.

[@tedpatrino6438]

Does it filter out calcium.?

It doesn’t filter out anything in solution I don’t think any filters do. I am not sure if calcium goes into solution.

Seems a bit large & complicated. Also storing it with water inside seems counter intuitive. I'll wait until more reviews and real life experience are available

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I don't se a problem with storing water inside

[@alexandergutfeldt1144]

Survival On Purpose Water stored in a closed container for more that a day or two is a breeding bed for all kinds of bacteria. If said container contains a filter, then the bacteria will grow inside that. If you are constantly using the filter, I wouldn't worry. But storing it, filled with water, during the winter, is another story.

[@arweninnj]

You might want to take a look at the grayl geopress. Great water purification system.
