Having enough clean water when you are out on your overland or camping adventures is essential, but what’s the best method to store, filter and dispense it? Well I’ve been using carrying this LifeSaver Jerry Can in the back of my Jeep Gladiator that has a built in water filter and pressure pump for the last several month and I think this is a solution you may want to consider. In this video I’m going to give you my opinion on the pros and cons and at the end of the video I’ll give it a recon gear score. #jerrycan #overlandgear #emergencyprepardness

@@jeffthompson8835 This is my first video on this channel but he doesn’t explain lifesaver very well. The life saver filters go down to .015 microns and are designed to purify very very contaminated water. Think muddy flood water filled with human waste. For normal over landing in the USA it is overkill but where the bulk of their products go like natural disaster relief or where communities have no access to clean water they work great. Their largest unit filters 2 million liters and is meant for remote communities. The jerry can also isn’t bad considering it’s 5-6 cents per gallon of water. The S3 is $1.29 per gallon. I found it for 79.99 on amazon and only has 400 uses out of a 20 fluid ounce container. Now I am biased since I’ve been a fan of their products since I saw the founders’ ted talk many years ago where he drank water filled with poop on stage using his products lol. Edit: spelling

With the primary purpose of this unit being water filtration it actually is a good price when compared with other systems on the market. I've tried many different filters over the years and for high capacity daily use this fits the bill rather well. As for the spigot, I rotate mine to the inside of the can, creates far more protection while in transit.

How quality are the components? RELIABILITY: how long before it breaks itself? WEIGHT: how heavy is it compared to similar items/ is it worth having for the extra weight? SPACE: how much external/internal space does it take? POWER: How much power does it use? Thanks again so much for all your hard work!

Kettles , containers pots , i was filling the lot for neighbours ,no electricity required .Could i have done that with a Sawyer ,not a hope in hell and I know now that many of my neighbours have went and bought a lifesaver jerry or lifesaver cube .

They will likely sell many more at the $180 mark.

It's got a lot of nice features. Now we need a company that will price the item commensurate with the actual cost to produce it while still making a reasonable profit, so like the $100 neighborhood. Once LifeSave has some competition they will either have to stop price gouging and price the item appropriately or fail and let the more reasonably priced company put them out of business. Competition is a wonderful thing for the consumer.

@jamesschultz796 5 ай бұрын

The key with the Lifesaver is that it will remove viruses. The other water filters out there will not. When you are in a situation that requires you to drink water from an unknown source, I trust this water filter. Everyone talks about how Berkey Water filters are the gold standard but they do not filter out anything below 0.2 micron. The Lifesaver will filter down to 15 nm (0.015 micron). You can get a smaller unit for $150, it's called the Lifesaver cube. I own a Jerry can and just purchased a cube this week.

I would really appreciate seeing more reviews by you, I respect you opinion very highly, and would love to see many more of these types of videos, here or on E3. I just purchased a Joolca sink, water heater, and electric pump with all the necessary hoses and fittings for $400. I am curious what you would score the JOOLCA system at, considering the high score you gave this jerry can with a pump and filter at $300. Just for water storage. Understandably the JOOLCA requires 12v electricity to run the pump, and the filter on the JOOLCA is just for sediment. (I will need to add a much better filter to match the jerry can filter you have just reviewed). I don't know of any plastics that are indestructible, so most are fairly durable but will show abrasion, and will show wear. But my concern would be when it gets cold how easily will it crack. So please do a review on the JOOLCA sink/heater/tub system. Thanks for all you do.

This LIFESAVER jerry can has a 20,000L filter in it. That is 5283gal of filtration. You cannot find many house filters with that capacity for less than $100, and most of those are not for portable systems nor do the remove viruses, bacteria, or cysts. The filter alone is what you might want to emphasize on this product.

When you have money to burn.... a $20 water can and a $16 Sawyer bottle filter will be fine for me. Like your videos, keep them coming.

How much are the replacement filters and how often will they need it ?

@js-dz5bs 3 жыл бұрын

The cost is in the filtration and convince, If I lived off grid absolutely. also great for a bug out situations. For weekend trips probably not.

After more research and after I ordered a unit, I have come to the realization the UK is not supporting US markets very well. Its very hard to find information, spare filters and accessories. This is not a cheap unit and the US customers deserve a better business model.

Wondering if anyone has tested the @dometic Go Hydration jug and faucet with the @camelbak Reservoir Filter Kit? Seems like a perfect match but am wondering if the flow rate of the filter affects the performance and functioning of the faucet.

I suggest the watching the "Traveling Together Journal" review of this product before making your decision.

Thanks. I did and learned that once opened, the filter must always be kept moist and is only good for 3 years, even if the maximum gallonage isn’t filtered. Also, the Charcoal filters are good for only 660 gallons.

@@robertdeloatch8378 I believe it's a good solution for specific needs, but not a "one size fits all".
