As I stated in yesterday's survival gear article, water is key in any survival situation, including day-to-day survival during "normal" times. But it needs to be clean water. A personal water filter is something you should have in you bug-out bag and in your get-home bag or car kit. There are many different ones available to choose from, so pick one that suits your needs and lifestyle.

Over the years, I have used many different personal water filters. So far, they all seem to work just fine. I've never had one fail. Among those I've tried and liked are the LifeStraw Personal Water Filter, the Membrane Solutions Straw Water Filter, and the Emergency Survival Water Straws. 

Personal water filters aren't just a must for survival and emergency preparedness, but are also useful for travel, hiking, camping, biking, and everyday use. Get several for each member of your family, tribe, or group.

A larger capacity water filter for the home is also a must, of course, but I will discuss those in a future Survival Gear article.
