Water is the most important emergency supply there is.  A few years ago I was at a body building conference and got my picture taken with Lou Ferrigno http://louferrigno.com/   He was on a panel with a lot of fitness people and they were all asked

“what is the most important supplement for nutrition?”   Many of the trainers, coaches and authors had their favorite vitamin, powder, potion etc.  but Lou Ferrigno had the BEST answer….. “Water”  drink a half gallon to a gallon of water a day depending on how aggressive your workout is.  Everyone was blown away by his answer.  It just made too much sense.

Thanks Lou.

When it comes to emergency supplies WATER is the most important.

If you run out of clean water and all you have is “found” water you want to make sure it is safe before you drink it.  To be sure you have flitration that is portable you want to include in your Car bug out bag, your office bug out bag and your home kit a portable straw that will filter up to 20-25 gallons of water and is very small and light weight.  There are a couple of straws that I like in the $16 price range.  One is the Seychelle Water Filtration Staw http://www.foodlife.shelfreliance.com/seychelle-water-filtration-straw.html

The Seychelle Pure Water Straw with Advanced filter is a technological breakthrough in water filtration for people on the go – anywhere, anytime!

Compact, easy to use and truly versatile in its attractive carrying case, the Pure Water Straw is like a miniature bottled water plant.

It’s ideal for traveling; in your purse, pocket, backpack, luggage, and car or for emergency preparedness. Every family should have several placed throughout the house; in backpacks, in car trunks or glove compartments!

The Pure Water Straw is a sure way of safeguarding the water you drink anywhere you go and best of all its 25-gallon capacity is equal to about 189 half liters of bottled water, providing great-tasting clean water at a fraction of the cost. Never leave home without it!

Key Features:

  • Up to 25-gallon filter life.
  • Now with BIOSAFE®, removes up to 99.99% of bacteria, virus, contaminants and pollutants found in drinking water including Guardia, Cryptosporidium, and E-Coli Bacteria.
  • Proven effective against bacteria and virus to six logs reduction (99.9999%).

The other portable filter straw I like is the Frontier Water Filter.   http://www.foodlife.shelfreliance.com/frontier-water-filter.html

Tests indicate that the Frontier Filter will remove 99.9% of Cryptosporidium and Giardia as well as other waterborne pathogens. The Frontier Water Filter is also easy to operate –  just attach and expand the straw, submerge the filter end into the water source, and drink through the straw.  Use the Frontier Emergency Water Filter System to drink from any bottle, cup, or directly from water sources.
