Road filter for water

Of all the emergency supplies you can carry in your vehicle when heading for the Great Outdoors, this one could literally save your life. The Life Straw, which is manufactured by Vestergaard-Frandsen and has been on the market since 2005, is a portable water filter that guarantees you safe drinking water wherever you are in the world. Each one has the capacity to filter up to 1,000 litres of water, removing virtually all of the waterborne bacteria (including E-coli and Salmonella) and parasites, leaving nothing but clear, clean H2O. Life Straw’s makers also say that there’s no nasty aftertaste, that the filter contains no chemicals and that it works without batteries (it actually has no moving parts at all). Although the manufacturer doesn’t market the product directly, you can purchase one at www.eartheasy.com/lifestraw.
