PurpleHaze, You'll be good with just a lifestraw, they remove over 99% of all that nasty bacteria like salmonella, giardia and cryptosporidium. But, it's a good idea to pack a few purifying tablets in your first aid kit just in case something happens to the lifestraw. Tablets are cheap and don't weigh anything, so it's worth bringing them along.
