I just wanted to say hi Corporal Kelly and I injoyed the video 👍👍👍you can't stress enough how important to make sure you're drinking water's safe some people don't get it if your in a survival situation and you get sick from bad water or food that's when you're in lot more trouble out there keep those great video's coming Corporal Kelly 👍👍👍C😎😎L
HAY CPL WILL THE WHOLE UNIT FIT INSIDE M16 AMMO POUCH. BROTHER & DO YOU USE THIS KIT. THANK YOU BROTHER PLS KEEP THEM COMING. SKYE&KEITH. BTW YOU SOLD ME BROTHER!!
You ever heard of the "Kelly Kettle"? Made in Mayo here in Ireland. Another great piece of kit. I reckon u'd like it. Check it out and let me know wot ya think. We use it for day hikes. Named after u Corporal so it had to be gud. Salute.
I had to laugh when you said "One man's trash is another man's treasure". There is an antique store on Cape Cod whose motto is "We buy junk and sell antiques."
Hey Amanda, good call and a number of our customers have been asking for this. The Electric and the Manual use the same pump so you can take the filters from the Electric and put it in the Manual and vice versa if you ever needed to.
Excellent suggestion...maybe the company should hire you as an ideas person. I'm not kidding as a 'Fresh Eyes' approach is a common engineering practice.
They might consider a lithium battery, too. And a charging port for an optional solar collector. The reason they don't is probably the added cost vs. the probable benefits. If two humble AA batteries will already filter 93 gallons of water (more than a full bathtub), how much more capacity do you need?? Also, if your electric pump is handling the load with no trouble, then it is very unlikely to break down (it's water cooled). If you really think you may need more fresh water, then you could simply bring along an extra four pack of AA batteries, so you could fill 3.5 average bathtubs. Frankly, this technology impresses the heck out of me.
Just make sure you don't kill everyone around you by setting the forest on fire. Wildfires are no joke. The life you save could very well be your own. We've had a horrendous fire season. The ban's not just a whim.
I'm fairly confident that those of us who have this interest are not going to let a fire get outta hand. Things can go awry...unexpected stuff happens...but are you & I going to walk away from a campfire and not extinguish it completely? I would suggest that you build your fire in a hole you just dug for it as it helps in avoiding unwanted detection. But in saying all that a portable filtration system should be in every survivalist go bag.
I've had and used this filter for a while and it makes me happy to see you like it too. Not only does it work amazingly well, the people in the company are top flight and very customer-service oriented. Five stars to you and them. Your videos have improved my quality of life. Thank you and God bless you and your family and all your subscribers. -Dave
Awesome demonstration and the view of the awesome landscape and river, gives me the itch to get out in the bush! Thank you, for not just talking about the filter systems yet demonstrating each and also using the result by drinking the filtered water. Definitely looking to add these to our load out.
I've tried all sorts of filters over the years. My current favorite has been the Platypus gravity works system - no pumping required. But the battery powered Survivor Filter system looks very interesting! I'm going to check that one out.
Great review video! I carry the Sawyer Mini in my haversack always. I did a review video on it. The bag that comes with it is a little difficult to fill, but the filter makes the water taste good. It was in the summer time, so the water was kinda warm.
You remind me of my dad. He was a combat medic in the army in 99 to early 2000s. Love your videos marine, I feel right at home being an army brat and fellow american.
I used the Platypus Gravity Bag and Filter when I was on trail. Worked like a charm for me. None of the slow trickle rates I have seen people complain about with the Sawyer. And the wide mouth collection bag makes it really easy to collect water from even very shallow streams. In addition to filtering, I also treat my water with the AquaMira two part solution. Some folks have said I only need to do one or the other but not both, but I do things my way.
Hi, Would like to say love the channel! I have just started my own channel and feeling the growing pains lol But your style of channel with the no B.S. is much appreciated, Just wanted to thank for your channel!
I'm still a little curious as to how the water purified by these filters stacks up to results from an Independent Lab. I've left several comments in these different poster's comments re, actual testing results. I have one in my go-bag but I won't know until I have to use it whether it works or not.
Not a wildly exciting video but that's not what I'm looking for. It had useful, informative content, presented in a easy to follow way. Excellent audio and quality with good editing and content. I like the concise narration without a lot of gab. Good product demonstration without being a commercial. I'm looking forward to the next video!
That movable sponge stopper on the tubing is to allow the filter to hang in deeper water. It's always best to filter from deeper, moving water rather near the bank. Also the filter hanging upright in the water allows for more efficient pumping.
I like and watch all of your videos and wish I could go camping with you. I am almost 70 years old and still like to camp but now I do it in my comfortable trailer. Ha! and remember to smile
Thank you, Sir...I have had occasion to use the Sawyer Mini on multiple occasions, and it has never let me down. However, as things keep changing in the world, I have also purchased two of the the NDUR Canteens which you reviewed some time back because of their ability to filter so many heavy metals and chemicals, although they do have a low use rate of I believe around 50 gallons. Have been saving those for a serious emergency situation...And based on your review, I just purchased the Survival Pro, through your store. It filters smaller contaminants than the Sawyer (.01 microns versus 1 micron), is small enough (length about 6.5 inches, not sure width), filters heavy metals and some chemicals, and, the thing that really put it over the top for me, can easily be used to fill a hydration bladder. That means that instead of putting largely unfiltered water into my bladder and then using a Sawyer or similar inline, contaminating the bladder and hose, I can refill the bladder with clean water. Thank you again, Sir. Appreciate your reviews and, I always pay attention. My Dad and brothers were all Marines, so I say, Semper Fi and God bless the Marines!
I really like my survivor filter pro water filter. Use it for canoe trips, backpacking, and any outdoor activities. It takes some time to filter water with the hand pump but it works well.
Thank you Corporal for this amazing survival water filter. I just hope this would be affordable and available for us here in The Philippines. Mabuhay and 73!
Excellent video. I bought The Survivor Pro LE water filter about a year ago for a 120L X MOD Ruck I use for a family B.O.B. Savage piece of kit. Lots of water here in Ireland but none of it clean anymore. I like it because in a Bug Out Situation fire is hardly ever possible for water sterilisation. And ever since my days in the military I kinda don't like purification tablets etc. Au Naturel is best and if u can't boil, this filter system is a must have piece of kit. Small and light. Takes up no space in the ruck. Respect and Salute Corporal.
For a survival situation would go with the pro hand pump simply because batteries can go bad. I have a lifestraw and a Sawyer mini I use the mini most of the time since I can fill canteens with it. Nice review will look into this for adding to supplies because 1 is none 2 is 1 simperfi 👍
Been following reviews on these products for some time now. Seem well made and reliable. Haven't had any experience with them myself. I'm currently rockin' the Sawyer micro filter in line with a platypus Gravityworks carbon element between two CNOC Vecto bags, or one bag and a smart water bottle, canteen , or whatever. The carbon element helps take out the "lake" taste of the water. A few flavor drops doesn't hurt as well. For short term situations (emergency)... I like the dip-and-go method afforded by carrying a simple water filter bottle like the Sawyer Personal.
That one is pretty cool, I love multiple options from the same brand. My only thing about this is that it's a multi-part filter, so you have multiple points of failure. My go-to filter is an MSR brand filter that operates very similar to the one you showed, but it has only a single ceramic filter element that is cleanable, and generates a very good flow per pump. Additionally, it has threads on the bottom that allow it to be connected directly to and wide mouth bottle (like a nalgene, or wide mouth camel back bladder). Amazon carries it for almost the same price as the survivor. While I don't trust units that only run on batteries, that one looks fantastic for camping instead of for SHTF situations! Thanks for another awesome review CPL. S/F
Survivor Filter in the straw SKU is awesome. I keep that in my pack and have tested it in the field. It’s amazing with the ability to screw onto a water bottle, or any bottle with the same thread. Great innovation
Excellent video. I have two different filters and was thinking of getting another. I prefer a container to boil water. I also carry coffee filters for a pré filter. Thanks and take care care.
I was searching for a video on filters v purifiers and I watched your vid ... I was impressed especially with the electric filter however I would make sure I had some "imodium" tabs just in case or I'd still boil it to make sure ... your water even though was clear had a slight tinge however I'm still very impressed with your presentation over-all. Thanks !
The Sawyer Mini is$25 at Walmart. After wasting $80 of my money on a pump filter I started section hiking the AT. The vast majority of thru hikers use the sawyer because it is light weight, inexpensive, and WORKS!
WORKS! Kinda... There is no documentation anywhere that even suggests it removes any viruses, or any metals. You just gotta decide if you want to save less weight than you lose when you pee vs getting rid of more stuff from your water ;)
Another great video Corporal. I've been using the same Sawyer mini for about 6 years now and still love it. It's a bit slower than the pumps, and I've definitely noticed it filters slower than it used to (sand and whatnot), but it's low maintenance and incredibly light/portable for those deep woods trips. Maybe my favorite piece of kit after my Jetboil. Which got me to thinking, episode on stoves?
I've been very skeptical about buying these, but they look so interesting. If I do ever buy these; I'd probably have two filters at both ends one in the inlet & the other in the outlet bcs I'm crazy about safe drinking as my body needs more water than the average human for some reason.
Great videos and tutorials, Corporal. Love the Knots videos. But, i will say that I bought this filter 2 yrs ago, and found it insanely hard to get flowing. The pump version, that is.... I took it on a hike of the Ozark Trail, and had high hopes for it after reading the Reviews elsewhere. I’ve since switched to another brand, rhyming with Moyer. And, have not had any issues on any on my section hikes of the Appalachian Trail. Keep up the great work. And Thank You for all the educational videos. Semper Constants. U.S.Army ‘88-‘96
@@markzakaib836 you're most welcome! I accidentally broke a small piece of the twist off "lid" on one side cuz I thought it popped off as opposed to the "twist and pull" design you have but a ranger band is keeping it together just fine. Lol. Thanks for a great product!
@@LGSkywalker82 send us an email to support@survivorfilter.com so we can send you a replacement for the shell. This happens and we can send you out a replacement free of charge.
@@josephbnd974 sawyer make a .1 micron water filter based upon a technology that is (in theory) infinitely reusable, so it won't wear out like ceramic will. It's cheap, lightweight, easy to splice onto hoses or screw into bottles, and simple to backflush.
@@josephbnd974 it has issues you can't let it freeze (like most filters) and the pore surface is relatively small so it can clog fairly quickly, but all in all its probably the best option out there.
Very nice little filter set. filter pro looks to be extremely similar to the Katadyn hiker pro, but has i think a better filtration spec. Price point seems well within reach too, not to overly priced just cause its a brand name. Would love to see a test in a gross stangnat pond at some point, we all know those places are teeming with those nasty little water critters.
I tried the straw one a few years ago. It started leaking after some use where the two filters join. They sent me a few replacement o-rings when I contacted them, which fixed the issue. I still prefer the HydroBlu Versa Flow, especially after adding the activated carbon element, but the Survivor filter is still a nice option.
I'm a nut when it comes to safe drinking water, I have lot's of different filters, tablets. I dare say probably enough to make about 200,000 gallons/400,000 litres safe for consumption ,, Awesome as always thank you! ATB FROM Yellowknife @Northener7373
@@MrBigCookieCrumble For filtration I have the Katadyn basecamp pro 10L, I also am a fan of HydroBlu, I carry a few of their pen style filters in different load outs,I have I think 3 of their Versa flow filters Also I have 3 or 4 Sawyer minis, Maybe a dozen Frontier straws. In terms of chemically treating, I stick with 2 types Katadyn pristine, and Aquamira(Best IMO) .I'm OCD I guess yoiu could say about Water, Medical, Hygiene. I hope this helps cheers
