Saw that costco has 4-packs of Lifestraw water purifiers on sale for $35. Since they are $15/ea on Amazon, that’s a solid deal.

These appear to be the original version. Not the newer “Peak” model.

FWIW, I prefer the Sawyer Mini filter for its versatility and ability to filter more water. But it is slightly more cumbersome.
 
A Lifestraw is a portable water filter designed to provide clean drinking water in any situation. Whether you are hiking, camping, or traveling, a LifeStraw can be a useful tool to ensure that you have access to safe drinking water.

The LifeStraw is a small and lightweight device that is easy to carry in a backpack or pocket. It is designed to filter water as you drink it, so there is no need to carry large quantities of water with you on your adventures.

Did we somehow summon a bot?
 
Yeah, that's a bot. I'm gonna suspend and remove the link.
 
I carry a lifestraw in my hiking kit and want to share a great tip someone gave me. Attach the neck cord to a small cup of some sort (I use a plastic water bottle with the top cut off). That way you can fill the cup and use the lifestraw to drink from it while standing up, instead of having to kiss the surface of the water while balancing on slippery rocks.
 
8 months later and it finally crawled the page hoping Americans would buy from an Aussie site at a 300% price increase.

Also great tip @Zak. I always throw one in donation Xmas gift bags because as a past puddle drinker in my wee years I find the tech would have been helpful

I've had one since they first came out. I'm still waiting for my chance to drink from a filthy hoof print.

I have straw, a UV pen and some other filters. I thought i was gonna traverse the lands for days on end..... Now 30 yrs later.
I have used the things about 6 times, and only on multi day trips with others having filters. Never needed one on day hikes, random adventures or overnighters.

Unfortunately there were no hoof imprints, just pristine alpine lakes or head water streams, which probably didn't need a filter since a few drank straight from the source with zero bad results.

I’ve had a UV pen for a while and for a number of years used it when out fishing pristine headwaters, with no ill effects, even though I was operating it completely incorrectly and it actually wasn’t doing anything.
 
I haven't tried the Lifestraw. I picked up a Grayl several years ago and have been happy with it. I have a couple of them now and use them whenever I go hiking in the mountains. They give me the option of carrying water with me or going a little lighter until I get to the next stream, lake or trickle.
