Thread: Drinking out of rivers

Just had a look at the life straw. Can you get them in a bottle that you can deflate so it makes no sound.
That's my only hasel this water canteens. Was you stalk all you some times hear is the sloshing. Drives me round the bend.
Its ok when the bottle is full but once half full it becomes annoying.
Are there any with a pump?

Use a camelbak bladder, and when you fill it with water, tip it upside down and squeeze it to purge all the excess air out if it. No more sloshing. And consider a Sawyer Mini filter. $US18 on Amazon, and twice that locally. Can be used like a lifestraw, screwed onto a coke bottle / pump bottle, or installed in-line with the long hose on a camelbak bladder.

Fill you bottle / hydration bladder wth 'dirty' water from stream, and have it filtered by the Sawyer filter as you drink.
