Made for Sandy: Water Purifying Straw
"Don't run the risk of being without clean drinking water when a disaster strikes."
"This water purifying straw — a.k.a. the LifeStraw — is a revolutionary survival tool that can filter over 250 gallons of water, making practically any water source safe to drink."

These have been around for some time - I used one while backpacking in the 1980s (it included some kind of iodization resin...made the water taste a bit off but no illnesses to report). They fell out of sight in favor of the hand-pumped (and now gravity fed) microfiltration systems that can do a large volume of water and are about the same volume if a bit heavier.

Joe,
These are out of stock on Amazon. An eBay lot convinced it is the same item and I bought one on your advice: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LIFESTRAW-THE-WORLDS-BEST-EMERGENCY-WATER-PURIFICATION-FILTER-NEW-/130760107878?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item1e71e8e766
Best wishes,
