Never got sick from anything I took out of nature...unlike what I felt like leaving a town after a pint or two of Ben & Jerry's.
Was thinking about buying a few of these for bug out bags, have to see what their shelf life is...

I consistently craved ice cream on trail, so I know the feeling of leaving town a little sick from overindulgence. I did take a break on dairy after the half gallon challenge though...

I decided against the straws, but looked at the filter you linked. It looks like the tech has really come a long way in the 15-20 years since I used it. Says that Sawyer one is rated for 100K gallons?! Even if it only got half that, it is still 5x what the Lifestraw is rated (10K) at seemingly a lower cost/gallon. Would seem to make more sense to just have one of those in a bag and could share with family members if needed.
I guess the main advantage to the straw is it is a bit more portable? They are still fairly bulky though...more like a TP roll than a straw... don't really seem that much more low profile than the Sawyer.
Both will not filter for viruses.
If your not concerned about viruses (but nowadays who isn't concerned) the msr guardian is the one. Self cleaning, can withstand freezing. Pricey though at 300, and way heavier.
I did forget I had a Sawyer zero point 2,
but I don't think it's widely available anymore.
I have all of the ones listed above, except the life straw. At 10 I guess I could toss one in the car.
