    Do you see the problem tho US government won’t let public use any sort of cure when people get sick because the hospitals needs to make money of sick people and make the owners of hospitals rich and be in control so this means nothing to no one come on now wake up !

    • @PLAY3R-BLUE

      October 28, 2025 at 2:34 pm

      There’s not money in curing and ending diseases that don’t affect people in rich countries.

    This is very cool. I never even heard of this straw before until now.

    Why didn’t anybody tell me about this before. Seems they’re hiding this lifesaver because I’ve never heard about this before

    Been using filtration systems for over 30 years of hiking, backpacking or just camping. I used the straw in Mexico and it worked like a champ.

    • @25anomaly

      October 28, 2025 at 1:03 pm

      I have one but I have a hard time trusting it

    • @mral6809

      October 28, 2025 at 1:22 pm

      @25anomaly I never tryed it at a companies chemical dumping pound but the Great Lakes, Appalachian Trail, Great Tetons and 30+ National parks. I have even used it in the states with the most water violations in 2023.
      – Texas: Has a high number of water violations, particularly in small rural communities.
      – Florida: Experiences ecological issues like red tide and algae blooms that can impact water quality.
      – Alabama: A large portion of residents rely on groundwater, and private wells require individual responsibility for water quality testing.
      – Arizona: Phoenix tap water has high levels of chromium-6 and PFAS.
      – New Jersey: Has been dealing with PFCs and other toxic chemicals in its water supply.

      I trust the straw more than I trust those states.

      @mral6809I took it down into rain forest by costa rica and ended up just carrying water but I’ll test it out at some places with questionable water
