I bought one of these last year & I recommend it to anyone who walks away from their vehicle in the wilderness. As we all know (or should know) water is the #1 thing you need in a survival situation & next to hypothermia, dehydration is the main cause of death when people get cut off from their transportation unexpectedly. Of course there are people who take medication or have medical ailments that would supersede the water requirement but for otherwise healthy people who aren't injured water is key to staying alive long enough for rescuers to find you or for you to extricate yourself.

This device is about the size of a mini-mag light & works w/ batteries & regular old rock salt & a cap full of water. It creates an electric current through the salt water which in turn makes chlorine (for all intents & purposes). Add that mixture to dirty water & presto, potable water. If the water you treat is already fairly clean or if you make too strong of a mix, your water will taste like chlorine but with practice & knowing the water source you can get it drinkable w/o the chemical taste & even at that, the taste is better than iodine tablets if you've ever used those you'll know what I mean.

I used to sell those at a gear store. They are very cool. The only thing I caution people about is depending on the water you do have to let it sit for a recomended amount of time for purification to be complete. But like Brenjen said super small and also used by the Armed Forces in remote areas.
