I haven't watched the video. But doesn't the specs on a sawyer squeeze comoletely blow away the lifestraw?

I hadn't heard of the Sawyer Squeeze.  Looks like the Sawyer can filter to 0.1 microns (the Lifestraw filters to 0.2) and the Sawyer can filter a lot more (100,000 gallons compared to 264 gallons).  I wouldn't toss out my Lifestraws to replace, but I'll add some Sawyers to my kit and gift some to my kids.

Ya. That's what I remembered from my research on this years ago. All of my filters are sawyer. Everyone touts lifestraw when sawyer is light years ahead. They offer several different filters but the squeeze has the best filtering and flow rate.

Sawyer also does amazing work in Africa. They provide water filters to at least one slum in Nairobi. With over 400,000 people, that has just 72 bathrooms. And no clean drinking water.
