I am so excited to share with you my latest travel gear purchase because I have never seen anything like this before! As you can imagine my travel gear collection is quite extensive which has a dedicated closet in my home. I have extremely stringent criteria for any new travel gear to ensure it will stand the test of time.
Without further ado let me introduce you to….my new travel gear item is The Grayl water filter. You may recall from previously posts that I am a strong advocate for always carrying a packable water bottle so that you can get drinking water anywhere and most importantly save your money for margaritas. Well that solution does not work in all countries especially where the tap water is not safe to drink. In most instances the locals are immune to the many issues associated to the water and it only affects us delicate travelers. You may be familar with a few terms “Montezuma’s revenge” or “Delhi belly” for common illness that many travelers endured from drinking water or food washed in the local tap water.
Alas, the Grayl water filter eliminates 99.9999% disease-causing bacteria, virus protection and protozoan cysts in addition it has been tested according to NSF/ANSI standards 42 + 53.
The water filter is extremely easy and quick to utilize transforming stream or tap water into pure drinking water in mere seconds. This avoids the countless trips to the local corner store then carrying heavy bottles of water back to the hotel. In addition you no longer have to continual monitor your remaining water supply. There have been numerous times I was ready to collapse into bed after a long day of travel only to realize that I don’t have any water left. Ugh another journey out to search for water! While the Grayl device is a little expensive I anticipate that after 3-4 trips it will have paid for itself and the luxury of convenience is worth every penny.
Seek your adventure!
