[FS Melb, post AU] Lifestraw Steel price drop

[Ozfreewheeler]

So thanks to this forum I discovered Massdrop and my bank account hasn't looked the same ever since! In a fit of enthusiasm I purchased the Lifestraw Steel which is a fantastic water filter but which I actually don't need because I have two other filters and a steripen.

I couldn't resist taking it out of its box and doing a test with some normal water from the tap but it has been washed, dried out and is now for sale.

$45 plus postage or pickup from Warrandyte
