LifeStraw Added to QWR Backpack
As the long hot days of summer approach, QWR wants to
encourage OHVers and Adventure Bike riders to stay hydrated when out in the
backcountry. Access to clean drinking water becomes critically
important when you are on a long ride and the temperatures soar into the upper
90s and 100s.
Typical Stream - But is the Water Safe to Drink?
Along with our trusty bottle of water purification
tablets, QWR recently added a LifeStraw to our backpack as extra insurance
against running out of clean water to drink when on a trail ride or backcountry
adventure.
It was field tested on a recent trail ride where there
was a stream available as a water source.
The LifeStraw is practically weightless and does not take up much room
in the backpack.
Using LifeStraw to Draw Water from Stream
Drawing water through the straw is pretty
straightforward. The water tastes good
and could help save the day if you get caught in a heatwave. QWR encourages riders to make sure they have
some way to obtain clean water and adding an affordable lightweight drinking
system to your pack seems to make a lot of sense.
Have a great summer on the trail!
