Peter, > 1. a fire heated still takes awhile and ALOT of firewood. used an old pressure cooker with plumbing attached to the relief valve. > > > 2. a solar still no experience > > > 3. a pump/filter such as Katadyn Katadyn is a h2o filter not a reverse osmosis pump. I have a PUR RO pump in a sail boat bail out kit that I have never used. $500 or so. I have talked to folks who have used it and I think the net is 1 liter an hour or so. something that might work in a liferaft but pretty tedious for general water production. steve *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
