You might be looking for hundreds of dollars off your next tent this Amazon Prime Day, but the best discount could be on a tiny device that might save your life in the backcountry. I never go hiking, camping or trail running without my LifeStraw Personal Water Filter and right now it's just $9.47 for Amazon Prime Day.
Though I always fill up my water bottle or hydration bladder for any outdoor adventure, I've been caught out more than once in hot weather when my adventure has run longer than planned and I've run out of water. As long as there's a stream or lake nearby, however, this is no problem with the LifeStraw, which means I can drink straight from the source in an emergency without worrying about bacteria or parasites.
Weighing just 1.6 ounces and about the size of a magic marker, there's never any reason not to pop this water filter in my backpack and I've bought it for many of my loved ones as a gift, too.
Looking for something else? We're rounding up all of this year's best Amazon Prime Day camping deals, so take a look at our full roundup to see what's included in this year's sales event.
A full-size water filter is a good idea for trips to the wilderness, but a little backup like this is so helpful, even for runners, and I high recommend you carry one just in case. It's less than $10 today and it could save your life.
