Hello.
I hope you can hear me.
This camera has kind of a water proof housing on it, but this is a 360 video.
We're going to do a product review.
I'm out here in the middle of Pawnee Lake in Nebraska and I have today something very
quick and simple and that is...
I picked up a Life Straw.
This allows you to drink water out of pretty much anywhere.
It removes 99.9999, it has like six 9s percent of bacteria.
Uh, 99.999, only three of a different something or other.
Filters a thousand gallons.
Um, they say it's really kind of enough to meet a life time of drinking, er not a life
time, a year of drinking.
And the great thing about this is every time you buy one of these, they donate one to a,
um, probably a third world country or something, so that they can go to any watering source
and have clean water cause not everyone is lucky enough to have clean water.
But, I thought it would be fun to come out here with the 360 camera.
So, if you enable the 360 view, if it's not already enabled yet, you can spin around and
look at the lake.
It's a pretty calm day, a little bit of waves, but no one else is on the lake at the moment,
so we can kind of have it to ourselves.
So it's nice and quiet and I figured it would be a perfect time.
We got some clouds rolling in, it's about uh, 6 in the evening, so anyway.
Let's go ahead and get started here.
This I got on sale on Prime Day, uh Amazon Prime Day, so I saved 5 bucks.
I got this for 10 bucks.
Um, it looks like we have to kind of, there we go.
I guess there's one boat out there I hear.
So, you can see that right there.
Um, filter and then you suck out of that end.
They say to prime it; cause there's a filter here you have to...
Oh, here comes a jet ski.
If you look over that way you should be able to see a jet ski coming by.
Two of them.
Anyway, they say to prime it you need to soak it in water for 10 seconds.
So that's going to get all the air out of here.
So, this lake water is not fit for drinking, but here we go.
We're going...
I'm not putting the, uh, straw in there, obviously the part I drink out of I'm not sticking in
the water.
It's probably longer than 10 seconds, but it's the first time I've used it so I'm going
to make sure it's really primed.
And so, when you're done with it, you just have to let it dry out completely and you
can save it and use it next time and that's the only maintenance you need to do.
As you're using it a lot, they say to blow air back out, so like you know when you shoot
water at your friends, do that to make sure that any gunk and stuff that's gotten up at
the bottom of the filter gets sent back out.
Boy, oh he just took a spill.
*laughing* Uh.
Here comes his buddies.
Alright, we'll call that good enough.
So, I don't want to touch this end with my dirty fingers.
I cut up a plastic bottle here.
So there's the water.
It's actually cleaner than I expected.
I thought it would be kind of dirty, but uh, I mean, I don't know if you can see it, there's
a little bit of brown in there.
A little bit of haze.
Basically, the top is clean.
You just come here and stick it in.
haha.
And, uh, you give it a drink.
It tastes, um, a little bit like probably what's in this straw.
A little plastic-y probably.
*gargling* Yeah, I wish I could, like show you a before and after, but I'm not going
to spit into a glass so you can see how clean it is.
That would be really gross.
You'll just have to take my word for it.
I really don't taste any lake water or anything.
I just taste the plastic straw and that will probably go away the more I drink with it.
Um, yeah, I'll take one more drink.
It takes a little bit of time to get it going.
The water must not stay up in there.
See, it all comes back out.
So you're not hopefully having a whole lot of water sitting in here.
You suck it up through the filter and then whatever's left comes back out and then to
clean it you...
kind of blow out the extra water.
So we'll do that one more time.
K, so you get a little bit out, but then... and that's it.
So you can cork it up.
Keep this end clean.
Any water up there is clean water from me just drinking.
Cork that up.
And honestly, strap it to the kayak here so if the kayak flips over it doesn't float away
and anytime you want...
It might be kind of risky to lean over and try to get a drink, but if you had a water
bottle, you finish that up and just dip it and keep going.
Just so you know, I do have a life jacket back here.
I've been on this water lots of times.
I've only flipped my first time kayaking ever.
Um, and I am capable of getting the life jacket off myself.
Ooh, we've got some good waves though.
So, I am being safe.
I'm very familiar with this kayak and getting the life jacket off in the water.
So, anyway that's it.
I'd recommend this, especially for 10 bucks and you're not only getting, whoops, there's
instructions.
You're not only getting one yourself, you're also getting, uh, giving one to someone in
need who doesn't have access to clean drinking water.
So, definitely check it out.
I will have a link in the product, uh, down below, in the description, where you can pick
one up yourself.
And, uh, yeah.
I think that's it out here.
I'll give you a little simulated kayaking here for about 30 seconds so you can enjoy
it.
This thing should have stabilization, so hopefully it's not too bumpy for you.
I'm catching some air though in this kayak.
The waves are picking up a little bit more.
haha.
Anyway, thanks a lot for watching.
I'm doing what I love, keep doing what you love.
See you next time.
