Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hi Lillian, Sure you could try to get clean water with UV steriliser pen, or you could boil it- I believe it is for five minutes at a full rolling boil- not just five minutes on the hob! and you have to add some time depending on altitude. A mate of mine travelled extensively with this portable carbon filter, which you hand pumped the water through, and I believe such a gadget also comes in one the size of a pen, which you would sip water through. There are other water purification tablets, not all of them are chlorine/ iodine based. I would ask Ray Mears or Bear Ghrylls if you can! otherwise go down to your local outdoors shop and see what they have. Good Luck and Happy Holidays!
