Lifestraw - Cleans Yucky Water

This device is so simple and effective you can tell by looking at it that you have found a winner.

The Problem: I was surprised to learn that a shocking 6,000 people die daily from consuming unsafe water.

The Solution: The Danish company Vestergaard Frandsen has created a clever portable water filtration system called the LifeStraw. Designed to be worn around the neck, this life-saving accessory transforms mud puddles into a refreshing sip of water. Best of all, it requires no training to use and lasts for roughly a year (if used by a single person) without any maintenance what so ever.

I'm wondering if this could be used in this country for back packers who need clean water in remote locations.
