Just saw this at my local HarborFreight.

Says it removes pathogens as small as 2 microns and treats up to 20 gallons. On sale for $8
I love my miox. you may need a pre-filter for it (I bought the steriPEN one) but it works well, not sick and does LOTS of water at once :)
Also that straw is quite cool, but i wouldn’t trust me life on it. Definitely getting it for my survival kit though.
I went traveling through Africa last year and my Miox mysteriously stopped working about a month into it. When it did actually work it was great. It wasn’t due to overuse either.
I’m sticking with my Pur hiker.
