Clean Water is Key for Survival

Navigate This Post

Water. It’s such a staple of everyday life, that sometimes we don’t even think about just how important it really is. Not just for drinking, but also for health and hygiene. And you don’t ever want there to be a situation where you completely lack access to clean water.

Whether as simple as you’re out camping, or maybe you’re in a Bug Out situation, or maybe even you’re in your own home! It’s happened many times; a natural disaster hits, busts some pipes, and now your kitchen sink is spewing out brown or grey instead of white and clear.

So when we were at the 2023 SHOT Show and we talked to the guys over at Lifesaver, we knew that we needed to share what they’ve got with you.

You Need Water if you’re Bugging Out

Prof. Paul went out, tested, and drank from both the Jerry Can & the Wayfarer™

Those guys at Lifesaver know what they’re doing with these water filtration units. Both technically and practically. Are you humping around with a backpack? Well the Wayfarer™ will get you 1,300` gallons of clean, drinkable water. Got your vehicle with you? Then the Jerry Can will get you 5,300` gallons.
