[SNIP] OK, this may be a stupid question (remember, there are no stupid questions, just stupid people), but would it be at all feasible to create a small solar still (ie evaporate saltwater into a collector) to make a bit of fresh water. Seems like it might work especially in a region with a lot of heat or sun. I doubt it would be able to evaporate much water, but maybe enough that after a long day of paddling you'd have a bit to drink before initiating the Herculean task of pumping. Thoughts? Anyone here ever a Scout and do something like this? -Patrick (never a Scout of any sort) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
