Katadyn Pocket Water Microfileter

OK so maybe this is  a little over the top.  I know it may sound crazy for a lot of people $290 for 13,000 gallons of pure water, if you really need it and all you can do is drink out of a dirty lake.  What the hell that's only, lets see, that's two cents a gallon.  Maybe I am not so crazy after all.

I have just sealed this device up and hope I never need it.  But if I do need it my family will be very happy I bought this thing.  I also have a supply of this other stuff on this page so my water tastes good.

Swedish Firesteel - Army Model

Amazon.com Product Description

Originally developed for the Swedish Department of Defense, the FireSteel is a flash of genius. The FireSteel is intended to replace matchbooks, lighters, and other fire starters, providing a 3,000-degree C (5,432-degree F) spark that makes it easy to build fires in any weather, at any altitude. The FireSteel is a breeze to use: just pile up a small quantity of dry grass, paper, or other flammable material, and then force the included striker down the FireSteel. The resulting spark will create a fire even when wet, letting you light campfires, stoves, and gas barbecues at a moment's notice. Used by a number of armies around the world, the FireSteel's dependability has already made it a favorite of survival experts, hunters, fishermen, and campers. It's also found its way into cabins and backyards as a foolproof fire-starting tool for tough conditions. You can even use the bright spark as an emergency signal.

This Army version of the FireSteel, which comes in several handle colors, is designed to last for 12,000 strikes and is approved by the International Survival Instructors Association.

They really work and everyone should have one.
