SteriPEN Freedom - world’s smallest, lightest UV water purifier


Review and in-field use of the Freedom Steripen.  I am looking to primarily use this during travel to areas where water is questionable.  I also found it really handy on hikes where water was available readily and I could run with 500 ml at a time, making it a fantastic ultra-lightweight option.
