Survivor Filter product review

A few months ago a company named Survivor Filter was kind enough to send not one, but 2 of their personal water filters for me and Derek to try out on our hiking and camping trips. Fast forward to a few weeks ago before Overland Expo East and again Survivor Filter not only supports our outdoor lifestyle but also wants to be part of our trip, and send not 1, but 2 Survivor Filter Pro! Now what's the difference you may be asking?

Survivor Filter

Well like the name suggests the personal one is the one you would carry in your pocket or day pack, and maybe share it with your significant other (if you didn't get them their own), simply attach it to a water bottle or drink straight from a fresh water source. The information below is from their website (www.survivorfilter.com).

• Triple Filtration to 0.05 microns, thanks to UF Filtration, Carbon Filtration and mesh - 4 times more efficient than the competition at 0.2 microns.
• Dual Filters (Ultra and Carbon) are removable and can be cleaned or replaced by purchasing on Amazon as needed. Plus, comes with 4 extra mesh filters! 
• BPA Free and Weighs only 3.5 ounces. Fits just about anywhere (7 inches long X 1 inch wide) and Comes with detailed instructions and How to Use Manual.  
• Can be used directly from fresh water source, OR firmly attached to a Smart Water or Dasani Water Bottle, making the Survivor Filter the Most Versatile Personal Water Filter Straw Available.
• Other personal water filters are difficult to drink from, the Survivor Filter Personal Water Filter has a Special Mouthpiece, an integrated Cap to keep the mouthpiece clean and produces a SUPER FAST FLOW RATE of 200 ml. (7 ounces) per minute. 

Now that you've read the facts, the reason I like it is because it works (with plastic bottles and my Hydro Flask), its rugged and easy to store/carry.

Survivor Filter Pro

Now on to the Pro filter, this bad boy not only packs small, it's lightweight enough to be carried in a daypack for hiking, has a drinking cup designed into it and is fast and easy to use with a 3 stage filtration approach. And yes, I do like this one a lot! So much that all my drinking water for the Overland Expo East trip came from using this filter to fill my water bottles, so not only saved money by not having to buy drinking water, but also it's good for the environment because of less use of plastic bottles.

Here are the specs.:

• Comes with drinking cup and carrying bag!
• Perfect for filtering large jugs of water for the whole family
• Triple Filtration to 0.01 microns, thanks to Cotton Filter, Ultra Filter and Carbon Filtration and mesh.
• All 3 filters Filters (Ultra and Carbon) are removable and can be cleaned or replaced by purchasing on our website as needed. 
• BPA Free and Weighs only 8 ounces, 6.5 inches long and Comes with detailed instructions and How to Use Manual.
• Can be used directly from fresh water source, pumped into attached cup, OR pumped into any portable hydration pack.
• Produces a SUPER FAST FLOW RATE of 500 ml. (17 ounces) per minute.
• Comes with detachable filter tubes

Would I recommend this product to anyone? Absolutely! Now go their website, get your own (and one for your significant other) and as long as there is fresh water nearby you'll never go thirsty again.
