A high capacity design, the Mission includes a BPA-free, FDA-compliant roll bag reservoir with a wide mouth for easy filling in a stream, river, or lake.

So easy to use.I got this to use on a family camping trip with 14 people and it was able to provide good clean drinking water for us for an entire weekend. I was a little worried that this would be complicated to use or I would mess something up and we would be hurting for water but it was so easy to set up and use. No one should be worried about their ability to use this product.
I had a couple of family members who came into the trip saying they weren't comfortable drinking the water that came out of this filter so they brought some of their own water with them. By the end of the weekend Lifestraw had won them over and they were using and drinking the water just like everyone else.
This is such a great product for camping trips but it also gives me peace of mind to know that I could have access to good clean drinking water in case of an emergency. I will recommend this product to anyone and everyone. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Great testing waterMy husband and I use the LifeStraw water purifier when we went camping. The 12 Liter bag just enough drinking water for the day. The water tastes just like normal purified water. It's super easy to change the filter when it needs to be. I love my lifestraw [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

An invaluable tool for clean, safe waterThis is a handy, well made water purifier. It will be indispensable for frequent campers and adventurers. It's easy to use and has the instructions printed on the bag to guide you until you have it all figured out. The wide mouth of the bag makes it easy to fill, and there's an area on the side of the bag where you can see how much water is int he bag at a glance. It filters slowly, but this makes me more confident that the water I will be drinking is safe to drink. The bag is quite large and holds a good amount of water (12 liters) so it will be great for a group of people. A little patience is required for filling your drinking container - it's a trickle, so it's not going to come through the filter as quickly as filling your cup from a kitchen faucet. Ultimately though it's more convenient to me to use this than to lug water bottles around or boil water. You could also place a large container underneath the tube for collecting water while you're off doing other things. We actually brought water bottles with us as a back up, just in case we weren't happy with the performance of the filter or the flavor of the water, but we never used them. It's easy to snap the strap around a tree branch for hanging. The bag empties and rolls up quickly and easily and has a carrying bag to store it in. When empty, it's extremely lightweight, and when full you will be able to carry it around easily from your water source to your campsite with the carrying strap. As far as the flavor of the water goes, it's pretty good! I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorless it was, and it came out crystal clear. It's not as good as tap or bottled water, but it's not bad at all. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Gets the job done, but slowly.I got LifeStraw Mission to use on multiple day camping trips where I would have access to lakes or rivers. It's concept is easy, but this filter is not as intuitive as others. Anyone using it should first understand the two valves and method to flush. The filter does claim to have a long lifespan which is one of the best in its category. The included bag neatly packages everything for travel when not in use but it is not a filter I would take on multiple day hikes due to its overall size and weight. Hanging it in camp will require a high position due to it's tube length. The biggest downside of the filter is that it is slower than most gravity based versions. You're likely not in a hurry camping, but you will be standing a while to fill a container. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Love the FeaturesI received this item for my my son and husband to try out while out adventuring. This product can hold upto 12 Liters of water plus has the filtration straw to filter out any harmful bacteria, viruses, and protozoa from the water. It does also come with the hook to hang it from a tree branch or around your shoulder. This amazing product also comes with a bag so you can roll it up after use and put in the storage back to place in a backpack or away. This product is wonderful for summer adventures with the heat and staying hydrated. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Perfect for camping!We took this camping with us this summer and it is a game changer! It is so wonderful to be able to have fresh clean water at all times while camping and this allows me to skip bringing water bottles along. The set up was a breeze and I had it working in no time. I will be getting another of these for my father in law for Christmas! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Camping must have!I received the LifeStraw hanging 12L filteration Water container to test & review. This is a great product for camping or if you're in the military to use while you're on missions. This is easy to carry & hangs from anywhere. You can have "Fresh" tasting water from any water source. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
