[Paddlewise] still tubing

In coresponding with Pete who's going to paddle the everglades it occurred
to me that it would be really easy to make a still.  You get some tubing and
drill a very closely fit hole in a pot lid with a numbered drill (so you can
keep it tight).  Deform the tubing 1.25in up (to hold it off the water) and
cap the tube with a protective sheath when not in use.  Carry a very small
rattail file to fix it, in case you deform the end.   The total addition to
your gear would be a ity bity file and ?1/4lb of coiled  copper tubing.

Questions:

    What size of tubing?

    What length of tubing to cool steam in 70deg F still air?

    Do you have any corrections or improvements to my assembly ideas?

These aren't simple questions.  I greatly appreciate the support this group
offers.  Thanks.

Mike
