For backwood fliers and those who enjoy the outdoors, the Aquamira water filtration system is a useful addition to an emergency kit. The straw filters water and removes harmful bacteria such as E. Coli as well as microscopic parasites such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium, all common sources of illnesses among travelers. With the help of the Aquamira, users have access to a wider range of drinking sources in the event that they don’t have access to clean water.

The straw can be used in a bottle or even directly on a water source. The product can filter up to 20 gallons of water, and with a weight of just 1 ounce, it helps keep backpacks light and easily fits into tool kits. The product costs $13.45.
