LifeSaver Jerrycan, our honest review!
When you live life on the road, clean drinking water becomes one of your most valuable resources. Whether we’re deep in the mountains, on the road or wild camping somewhere remote, we need to rely on gear that works, every single time. That’s why we never leave without our LifeSaver Jerrycan.
What is the LifeSaver Jerrycan?
The LifeSaver Jerrycan is a heavy-duty water filter system that lets you carry, store and purify large amounts of water wherever you are. Designed for adventure travelers, overlanders, humanitarian aid and off-grid living, it transforms unsafe water sources into clean, drinkable water with just a few pumps, no chemicals, no waiting, no worries!
We use the LifeSaver Jerrycan, which can filter up to 20,000 liters of water before the filter needs to be replaced. That’s an absolute game-changer for long trips!

Any downsides?
Honestly, not many. It's a bit bulky, which is expected for its capacity, but if you're traveling with a camper or overlanding setup, it's well worth the space. It’s also a higher upfront investment, but it pays for itself quickly if you're constantly on the move.
Our Experience
We’ve used the LifeSaver Jerrycan on every adventure since we installed our Land Rover Defender camper. From wild camping on Corsica to bumpy roads in Turkey, it has never let us down. Filling it from a mountain stream or a questionable tap at a gas station, it always delivers clean, safe water.
We also use it daily while camping, not just for drinking, but for brushing teeth, cooking and even showering with the optional hose kit. It’s honestly become one of our favorite and most relied-on items in our gear setup!
Final Thoughts
The LifeSaver Jerrycan isn’t just a piece of gear, it’s actually a real lifesaver! It gives us the freedom to explore remote places without worrying about access to safe water. It’s simple, effective and truly essential for overlanders, vanlifers and anyone living off the grid.
Would we recommend it?
Absolutely, 100%. Once you've used it, you won’t want to travel without it!
