This may explain my observation that there is a lot fewer deaths among sea kayakers than I would expect given how many non-outdoor types have taken up the sport lately.

Yes tried one out some, and made a better still using a pressure cooker (makes a good cook pot) and coils of copper tubing for my next Baja trip. The desalinator works but you will do a lot of work for a little fresh water. Survivor is a good name for it but, I wouldn't recommend the small one for your total water supply. Every squeeze gets you a couple of drops. also the membrane requires careful care and has a limited lifespan. It is also expensive to replace.
