Comments on: Tools for the ultimate high-tech survival kit

For the planner with money to burn, plenty of high-tech devices can be added to a good disaster-survival kit.
High-tech tools for coping with disaster

[blue_spark]

Clean, purified water

Sure, but why wait for some future nano technology? For $130
one can go out and buy, right now, a pen sized device called the
Miox Water Purifier. One electric zap of this high tech device
treats up to a gallon of water, for bad stuff including E. coli,
Giardia, and Cryptosporidium, as well as chemical and biological
warfare agents... supposedly this was field tested by the military
in Afghanistan. I plan using it for backpacking, but it will be in
my disaster kit too.

If you want to wait to drink..

The MIOX Purifier "pen" takes a while to give you that clean water.
Reportedly it takes about 15 minutes to kill viruses and bacteria,
30 minutes for giardia, and up to four hours for cryptosporidia. So
you can't use it for stop-and-go drinking. The process involves
filling the device with water mixed in with the salt provided,
shaking it, and pressing the button to activate the charge. This
produces a solution of oxidants which can then purify the
nonpotable water.
