I just wanted to say hi Corporal Kelly and I injoyed the video 👍👍👍you can't stress enough how important to make sure you're drinking water's safe some people don't get it if your in a survival situation and you get sick from bad water or food that's when you're in lot more trouble out there keep those great video's coming Corporal Kelly 👍👍👍C😎😎L
Pretty cool devices. 👍 Have u heard about P&G water purifier packets?
You tha man! Peace
HAY CPL WILL THE WHOLE UNIT FIT INSIDE M16 AMMO POUCH. BROTHER
& DO YOU USE THIS KIT. THANK YOU BROTHER PLS KEEP THEM COMING. SKYE&KEITH. BTW YOU SOLD ME BROTHER!!
You ever heard of the "Kelly Kettle"? Made in Mayo here in Ireland. Another great piece of kit. I reckon u'd like it. Check it out and let me know wot ya think. We use it for day hikes. Named after u Corporal so it had to be gud. Salute.
I had to laugh when you said "One man's trash is another man's treasure". There is an antique store on Cape Cod whose motto is "We buy junk and sell antiques."
I would like to see them combine the hand pump with the electric one so that way if the batteries die you can still get clean water
Hey Amanda, good call and a number of our customers have been asking for this. The Electric and the Manual use the same pump so you can take the filters from the Electric and put it in the Manual and vice versa if you ever needed to.
Excellent suggestion...maybe the company should hire you as an ideas person.
I'm not kidding as a 'Fresh Eyes' approach is a common engineering practice.
i agree with you makes more sense
oh! good idea!
They might consider a lithium battery, too. And a charging port for an optional solar collector. The reason they don't is probably the added cost vs. the probable benefits. If two humble AA batteries will already filter 93 gallons of water (more than a full bathtub), how much more capacity do you need?? Also, if your electric pump is handling the load with no trouble, then it is very unlikely to break down (it's water cooled). If you really think you may need more fresh water, then you could simply bring along an extra four pack of AA batteries, so you could fill 3.5 average bathtubs. Frankly, this technology impresses the heck out of me.
Really enjoy your videos. If I am in a survival situation, screw the burn ban.
Just make sure you don't kill everyone around you by setting the forest on fire. Wildfires are no joke. The life you save could very well be your own. We've had a horrendous fire season. The ban's not just a whim.
My thoughts exactly.
I'm lighting a signal fire
I'm fairly confident that those of us who have this interest are not going to let a fire get outta hand.
Things can go awry...unexpected stuff happens...but are you & I going to walk away from a campfire and not extinguish it completely?
I would suggest that you build your fire in a hole you just dug for it as it helps in avoiding unwanted detection.
But in saying all that a portable filtration system should be in every survivalist go bag.
I bought a small still on amazon. I'll be burning and drinking steam.
I've had and used this filter for a while and it makes me happy to see you like it too. Not only does it work amazingly well, the people in the company are top flight and very customer-service oriented. Five stars to you and them. Your videos have improved my quality of life. Thank you and God bless you and your family and all your subscribers.

Thank you Corporal for your well made and very informational videos.
Awesome demonstration and the view of the awesome landscape and river, gives me the itch to get out in the bush!
Thank you, for not just talking about the filter systems yet demonstrating each and also using the result by drinking the filtered water.
Definitely looking to add these to our load out.
Very nice piece of kit, though i think I'll get the manual pump model.
Absolutely agree, can fill up as many water bags as you need to without worying about loss of power.
Great review video! I carry the Sawyer Mini in my haversack always. I did a review video on it. The bag that comes with it is a little difficult to fill, but the filter makes the water taste good. It was in the summer time, so the water was kinda warm.
Hello my outdoors friend. Thank you for sharing this fine review on the three survivor filters. Take care out there and be safe. 🤗
Love my sawyer but nice to know I got other options thanks Cpl Kelly outstanding.
Once again, outstanding video. I appreciate your dedication to these videos and this awesome channel.
I've tried all sorts of filters over the years. My current favorite has been the Platypus gravity works system - no pumping required. But the battery powered Survivor Filter system looks very interesting! I'm going to check that one out.
Thanks for another outstanding period of instruction Cpl.
These are outstanding indeed. The carbon filter is really needed in many environments for chemicals but is often overlooked. Awesome!
Looks like a great filter system. Will definitely be checking this out. Thanks🤙🏽
Thanks for the review, never seen or heard of these filters until your video.
Nice. I already have my Sawyer mini so I'll keep on using that.
Bought the pump about a year ago and it works great. Little pricey but well worth the investment. Great video sir!👍👍👍
Hi, Would like to say love the channel! I have just started my own channel and feeling the growing pains lol But your style of channel with the no B.S. is much appreciated, Just wanted to thank for your channel!
I used the Platypus Gravity Bag and Filter when I was on trail. Worked like a charm for me. None of the slow trickle rates I have seen people complain about with the Sawyer. And the wide mouth collection bag makes it really easy to collect water from even very shallow streams. In addition to filtering, I also treat my water with the AquaMira two part solution. Some folks have said I only need to do one or the other but not both, but I do things my way.
Great quick tips and reviews. Thank you.
Really cool stuff, I'm for sure gonna pick up one of these or potentially a swayer squeeze.
You remind me of my dad. He was a combat medic in the army in 99 to early 2000s. Love your videos marine, I feel right at home being an army brat and fellow american.
I like that you have actual knowledge, skills & abilities to impart. Not just camping videos claiming to be bushcraft.
Great video.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for all you do.
Awesome gear review! The replacement of the filters is a plus for me. Semper Fi brotha! Gggrrrr!!
BLOODY BRILLIANT will be purchasing one of these when i go get a job!
I love the survival line!!!! Survival and Lifesaver are my absolute favourites!!!!!!
Thanks for the videos!!!!... keep up!!!
This is awesome. A wealth of knowledge.
Thanks for showing us some options for filtration. Clean water is a must for survival in the outdoors!
Thanks for this video, I have been curious about the filters out there. Thanks again
I'm still a little curious as to how the water purified by these filters stacks up to results from an Independent Lab.
I've left several comments in these different poster's comments re, actual testing results.
I have one in my go-bag but I won't know until I have to use it whether it works or not.
I like and watch all of your videos and wish I could go camping with you. I am almost 70 years old and still like to camp but now I do it in my comfortable trailer. Ha! and remember to smile
I LOVE your awsome videos
Not a wildly exciting video but that's not what I'm looking for. It had useful, informative content, presented in a easy to follow way. Excellent audio and quality with good editing and content. I like the concise narration without a lot of gab. Good product demonstration without being a commercial. I'm looking forward to the next video!
thank you for this wonderful video. Fantastic information.
Thanks again for another great video
Awsome content buddy. I've recently got a filter. Can't wait to try mine.
I've always just made a natural filter and boiled. But it takes time.
Thank you for your service
great video.many blessings corporal.
Keep them coming each video is better then the last. You will be at 300k subs in no time!
Excellent video. I bought The Survivor Pro LE water filter about a year ago for a 120L X MOD Ruck I use for a family B.O.B. Savage piece of kit. Lots of water here in Ireland but none of it clean anymore. I like it because in a Bug Out Situation fire is hardly ever possible for water sterilisation. And ever since my days in the military I kinda don't like purification tablets etc. Au Naturel is best and if u can't boil, this filter system is a must have piece of kit. Small and light. Takes up no space in the ruck. Respect and Salute Corporal.
Cool, my fellow corporal, I am a Cpl of Marines '06-'10. Peace brother
Thank you Corporal for this amazing survival water filter. I just hope this would be affordable and available for us here in The Philippines. Mabuhay and 73!
Once again, good stuff 👍🏻😎
I really like my survivor filter pro water filter. Use it for canoe trips, backpacking, and any outdoor activities. It takes some time to filter water with the hand pump but it works well.
the hits just keep Comeing 4 this man 😀
Thank you, Sir...I have had occasion to use the Sawyer Mini on multiple occasions, and it has never let me down. However, as things keep changing in the world, I have also purchased two of the the NDUR Canteens which you reviewed some time back because of their ability to filter so many heavy metals and chemicals, although they do have a low use rate of I believe around 50 gallons. Have been saving those for a serious emergency situation...And based on your review, I just purchased the Survival Pro, through your store. It filters smaller contaminants than the Sawyer (.01 microns versus 1 micron), is small enough (length about 6.5 inches, not sure width), filters heavy metals and some chemicals, and, the thing that really put it over the top for me, can easily be used to fill a hydration bladder. That means that instead of putting largely unfiltered water into my bladder and then using a Sawyer or similar inline, contaminating the bladder and hose, I can refill the bladder with clean water. Thank you again, Sir. Appreciate your reviews and, I always pay attention. My Dad and brothers were all Marines, so I say, Semper Fi and God bless the Marines!
Been following reviews on these products for some time now. Seem well made and reliable. Haven't had any experience with them myself. I'm currently rockin' the Sawyer micro filter in line with a platypus Gravityworks carbon element between two CNOC Vecto bags, or one bag and a smart water bottle, canteen , or whatever. The carbon element helps take out the "lake" taste of the water. A few flavor drops doesn't hurt as well. For short term situations (emergency)... I like the dip-and-go method afforded by carrying a simple water filter bottle like the Sawyer Personal.
Excellent video. I have two different filters and was thinking of getting another. I prefer a container to boil water. I also carry coffee filters for a pré filter. Thanks and take care care.
Excellent video as always
Looks like something I might use. Thanks
As always another outstanding video Semper Fi...and thank's for your service Marine. Warren Hall US Navy...
For a survival situation would go with the pro hand pump simply because batteries can go bad. I have a lifestraw and a Sawyer mini I use the mini most of the time since I can fill canteens with it. Nice review will look into this for adding to supplies because 1 is none 2 is 1 simperfi 👍
That movable sponge stopper on the tubing is to allow the filter to hang in deeper water. It's always best to filter from deeper, moving water rather near the bank. Also the filter hanging upright in the water allows for more efficient pumping.
To be honest I don't have any water filters but I will check this one out! Thank you for the video!!!!!!
I was searching for a video on filters v purifiers and I watched your vid ... I was impressed especially with the electric filter however I would make sure I had some "imodium" tabs just in case or I'd still boil it to make sure ... your water even though was clear had a slight tinge however I'm still very impressed with your presentation over-all. Thanks !
Thank you! Summer is over the horizon but it'll be here before we know it :)
Looks like great equipment.
The power cell deal is really cool.. I would definitely buy the manual version to accompany , if batteries get hard to get .. NICE JOB CORPORAL!!!!
That one is pretty cool, I love multiple options from the same brand. My only thing about this is that it's a multi-part filter, so you have multiple points of failure.
My go-to filter is an MSR brand filter that operates very similar to the one you showed, but it has only a single ceramic filter element that is cleanable, and generates a very good flow per pump. Additionally, it has threads on the bottom that allow it to be connected directly to and wide mouth bottle (like a nalgene, or wide mouth camel back bladder).
Amazon carries it for almost the same price as the survivor.
While I don't trust units that only run on batteries, that one looks fantastic for camping instead of for SHTF situations!
Thanks for another awesome review CPL. S/F
Looks good! Thanks!
Beats having to wait on your water to cool from boiling instant water thanks Shawn
Another great video.
Have had one of these for over a year. They are awesome!
Thanks so much for the support John.
Great videos and tutorials, Corporal. Love the Knots videos.
But, i will say that I bought this filter 2 yrs ago, and found it insanely hard to get flowing. The pump version, that is.... I took it on a hike of the Ozark Trail, and had high hopes for it after reading the Reviews elsewhere. I’ve since switched to another brand, rhyming with Moyer. And, have not had any issues on any on my section hikes of the Appalachian Trail.
Keep up the great work. And Thank You for all the educational videos. Semper Constants. U.S.Army ‘88-‘96
Survivor Filter in the straw SKU is awesome. I keep that in my pack and have tested it in the field. It’s amazing with the ability to screw onto a water bottle, or any bottle with the same thread. Great innovation
Thanks so much for the support.
Thanks for sharing, great information, and options, putting these on my list for sure ! 👍
There is a link in the description box to my amazon store. Thanks for watching
Nice filtration group. I'll check them out.
I can see how these would be good for groups. I’m definitely going to look into getting one of these for Scouts.
Excellent work.
Great information thanks 👍
Thanks for sharing your tests and conclusions. Stay safe ATB. NIgel
I tried the straw one a few years ago. It started leaking after some use where the two filters join. They sent me a few replacement o-rings when I contacted them, which fixed the issue. I still prefer the HydroBlu Versa Flow, especially after adding the activated carbon element, but the Survivor filter is still a nice option.
Good information!
Another great video Corporal. I've been using the same Sawyer mini for about 6 years now and still love it. It's a bit slower than the pumps, and I've definitely noticed it filters slower than it used to (sand and whatnot), but it's low maintenance and incredibly light/portable for those deep woods trips. Maybe my favorite piece of kit after my Jetboil. Which got me to thinking, episode on stoves?
The Sawyer mini is also cheap enough you can replace it annually if you want faster filtration.
I've been very skeptical about buying these, but they look so interesting. If I do ever buy these; I'd probably have two filters at both ends one in the inlet & the other in the outlet bcs I'm crazy about safe drinking as my body needs more water than the average human for some reason.
Very nice little filter set. filter pro looks to be extremely similar to the Katadyn hiker pro, but has i think a better filtration spec. Price point seems well within reach too, not to overly priced just cause its a brand name. Would love to see a test in a gross stangnat pond at some point, we all know those places are teeming with those nasty little water critters.
...and results from an Independent Lab would be helpful also.
Those are nice filtering systems and it looks nice, but I already have the Sawyer system filter and the bag which came with it. I would consider buying either of those systems from that company if I needed another one.
Thank you Sir.
Nice video!
I've been using a regular sawyer with a 3liter plastic bottle screwed onto it for years now. These look interesting though.
I have one of the same design under a different brand name, I honestly wouldn't trade my sawyer for it.
I got a Sawyer and a Steripen, and i'll tell u what, i think im gonna buy that Electic Pro X
So, from a casual observer a 'Sawyer' is another manufacturer's brand of water filtration device?
@@josephbnd974 sawyer make a .1 micron water filter based upon a technology that is (in theory) infinitely reusable, so it won't wear out like ceramic will.
It's cheap, lightweight, easy to splice onto hoses or screw into bottles, and simple to backflush.
@@josephbnd974 it has issues you can't let it freeze (like most filters) and the pore surface is relatively small so it can clog fairly quickly, but all in all its probably the best option out there.
Nice review brother.. if you can can you explain the pros and cons in your reviews that would be really great
Nice Sir
Great video thanks
Thank you!
I'm a nut when it comes to safe drinking water, I have lot's of different filters, tablets. I dare say probably enough to make about 200,000 gallons/400,000 litres safe for consumption ,, Awesome as always thank you! ATB FROM Yellowknife @Northener7373
@@MrBigCookieCrumble For filtration I have the Katadyn basecamp pro 10L, I also am a fan of HydroBlu, I carry a few of their pen style filters in different load outs,I have I think 3 of their Versa flow filters Also I have 3 or 4 Sawyer minis, Maybe a dozen Frontier straws. In terms of chemically treating, I stick with 2 types Katadyn pristine, and Aquamira(Best IMO) .I'm OCD I guess yoiu could say about Water, Medical, Hygiene. I hope this helps cheers
I have the Survival Filter "straw".. love it. Cant wait to get the pro. Awesome to get your endorsement for this! That validates it for me for sure
Thanks so much for your support.
@@markzakaib836 you're most welcome! I accidentally broke a small piece of the twist off "lid" on one side cuz I thought it popped off as opposed to the "twist and pull" design you have but a ranger band is keeping it together just fine. Lol. Thanks for a great product!
@@LGSkywalker82 send us an email to support@survivorfilter.com so we can send you a replacement for the shell. This happens and we can send you out a replacement free of charge.
I miss the part where you discuss the pros and cons for each item like in which scenario wd you use one over the other to help you decide which one to buy.
So.. which one do you bring as backup to boiling water?
best review video ever
Nice video, i would think in a real situation, with out batteries..be the game changer for me.
Thank you for another great video 👍 How do you feel about water purification tablets? x
these are pretty darn cool
Awesome, dooooood...........
Good training, Hooah!!!
Cool
The Survivor Filter Pro is an excellent filter to refill my canteen. The Pro X is a new product? It would be idea for filling larger containers to use in camp. Good job on the review corporal and demonstrating them all, salute.
Hello Texas Urban Hunter, the PRO X is our new Electric Portable version of the PRO that we released this year after 3 years of product development.
Devil Doc reporting. I have owned the pro version for 2 years. Had a primary sediment filter failure in clear water 22 klicks deep in the bush so I recommend bringing a secondary filtration system or extra filters. For personal use it works good. It's a lot of work for the little reward. It's doesn't take up too much extra space or weight but I switched to the gravity fed platypus for camp and the sawer mini for small patrols.
I been looking at this system
