Man using LifeStraw Water Filter to drink from a puddle.
The LifeStraw Personal Water Filter is 30% off now on Amazon.

Nothing ruins a great hiking or backpacking trip faster than contracting an illness like Salmonella or E. Coli from unfiltered water. A good portable water filter is easily one of the most important things you can have with you to help you stay hydrated without the risk of getting sick. But finding one that's both effective and lightweight is easier said than done. Luckily, one of our favorite personal water filtering devices, the LifeStraw Personal Water Filter, is 30% off now at Amazon.

A camping essential, the LifeStraw is a portable straw-shaped filter that allows you to get fresh water wherever you go. One end of the straw goes into a dirty water source like a stream or lake, and the other goes directly into your mouth, making it hassle-free. While the filter doesn't store its own clean water, you can always fill a bottle with dirty water and use the straw to drink as you go.

The straw features a microfiltration membrane that removes 99.9% of harmful bacteria, parasites, and unwanted microplastics from your water. Despite its small size, the device can provide up to 1,000 gallons of clean water before the filter needs to be replaced, so it's perfect for most short hiking or camping trips. At nine inches long and just over an inch wide, it'll take up virtually no space in your pack. Just remember to keep the straw tip that goes into your mouth clean to avoid contamination.
