Hi, the hero in this case was a portable LifeSaver water purifying or possibly decontaminating personal water bottle.
I remember many years ago watching this product promoted through tv science shows and then to evolve. All the while I considered the justification of purchase far beyond by finances. I told many people to consider it and not to take my word for how brilliant I believed - but to try for themselves. Nobody was disappointed.
I bought one as a treat to myself and I justified the cost simply with 'I deserve to have one'.
I did a taste test with tap water. I live in a very hard water area - my supplier is Thames Water...anyway I used my two home filter systems and my new hero and compared results. It was a hands down win.
The LifeSavered water tastes like mineral water, it doesn't have the chemical bouquet and/or the unpalatable taste.
I was actually right all along but never had the courage of my convictions...til now.

We are thrilled to have you on board! Thank you for leaving such a great review
Used the Life saver Jerry on a two week Overland trip with my son and I and enjoyed having peace of mind any where we went knowing we had safe drinking water!
Thank you for the fabulous 5 star review! We're thrilled we were able to support you on your trip.
Have you been in a situation where you need to start a fire quickly? I have.
My No.1 choice would always be to use a cigarette lighter, that's a no-brainer. But what if it's wet or your lighter is empty? Then you're going to need a spark and some dry tinder. You can go on Youtube and see the videos for yourself (I particularly like Greg Ovens Bushcraft). The beauty of Ferro Steel is that it works when it's wet. You've got to scrape off the top black layer on this first. Then you get a really strong and hot spark. Tested on a cotton wool ball - tick. A cotton wool ball soaked in Vaseline will be even better. However I live in the UK so wish me luck in getting dry firewood!
Thanks for the fabulous review. Fingers crossed on the dry firewood!!
I hope I never have to use it! However, a few years ago I had my water supply cut off for 5 days and my supplier (Anglian Water) were absolutely useless and just denied responsibility and provided zero support. I'm not giving it 5* because it doesn't have a scavenging hose and you have to fill the bottle manually. That means a 5 mile cycle or hike for me to the nearest river. However I've also bought the Liberty, which does have a scavenging hose, so I hope I've covered both bases : long life and versatility.
Thank you for leaving a great review. Sounds like you have all your bases well covered, and are ready for anything - even Anglian Water!!
As a budding Prepper this seems like a very well designed and useful piece of kit and easy to use. The scavenging hose might be very useful as the water sources close to me (within a mile) aren't all that accessible: I don't really want to have to climb over a barbed wire fence, climb into a ditch or fight my way through brambles to fill my water bottle.
Another fabulous review! Thanks Neil. Scavenging hose is designed for exactly the situation you describe. Also good if there are critters in the water that might bite!
