Do these go bad? If I let it sit in an emergency bag for years?

Great to know. So it only works on like, say, a river?

Any suggestions for something better?
Thanks.

I doubt there is a portable solution like this. Removing chemicals usually requires other chemicals and enzymes, and a bunch of time (for the chemicals to separate and settle) You would need a mobile water processing plant like they use at oil spills. You could do it yourself, but it might be a week before you can drink anything and hoping you did it correctly.

Wondering the same thing. Is there a shelf life on these things? Anything inside that would degrade over time?

I've heard the shelf life when DRY is really long. I've heard mixed opinions about putting it up wet…some people consider these "one time use" unless refrigerated later. I guess the same is true of a lot of water filters, though.

These would make great items to barter with if the SHTF. This is a fantastic price!

Because North America is so well known not to have any chemicals in the water at all.

Yea extremely narrow, in an emergency situation where you got lost you may as well risk the runs rather than dying, and that's if you could find a puddle or river.


Also the 4 pack of the generic is often $25
