SteriPEN Adventurer Handheld Water Purifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used the SteriPEN Adventurer for a week of backpacking in Colorado.Several days involved sterilizing what you would ordinarily call "good" water from running streams.But, several days included taking water from a lake in an area with heavy human use (no human waste management like a pit toilet).The water was obviously questionable and I was concerned that the SteriPEN would not be up to the challange.But, the only way to know was to try it, so I did.No illness at all.Got at least 50 quart sterilizations with one set of two CR123A batteries (non-rechargable).The product and its single LED signals take a little getting used to, but my experience convinces me it does the job.

It is very rugged - though I always worried about breaking the bulb.I took no special precautions carrying it.Simply stowed the provided hard shell and poly-canvas carry bag in the backpack with other gear.It traveled without problem.

Product Description:
Great for hiking and camping, this handheld water purifier destroys viruses, bacteria, and common protozoa. It weighs just 3.6 ounces with two non-rechargeable, disposable batteries (included) and purifies 16 ounces of water in 48 seconds, or 32 ounces in 90 seconds. The purifier employs ultraviolet light (UV) to destroy the DNA of microorganisms, making them unable to reproduce and cause illness. It's effective against outdoor microbes like giardia and cryptosporidium; pathogens that cause diarrhea, dysentery, hepatitis, and Legionnaire's Disease; household germs such as bird flu, E. coli, and salmonella; staph and strep; and natural-disaster risks like botulism, cholera, smallpox, and typhoid.
No pumping, no chemicals, no test strips, no timekeeping, no lubricating, and no replacement filters are required. All that is required is to push the water purifier's button (once for 32 ounces, twice for 16 ounces), place the pen-like lamp in clear water, and stir until an indicator light turns green. Water has no aftertaste after being purified. Measuring 6.1 inches long, the purifier comes with a nylon case and a user's guide. It exceeds U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guidelines for testing microbiological water purifiers.

Solar / Hand-Crank Powered Emergency Flashlight, Radio, & Cell Phone Charger Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought one for emergencies, to have in case of blackout or earthquake.I was hoping the light would be bright enough so I could use it to pass the time by reading.Even at full charge it's not that bright, and after about 2 hours, the light drops off drastically.The radio only picks up the most powerful stations.

Don't lose the box!!!!!It features important operating instructions like "DON'T CHARGE THE BATTERY FOR MORE THAN 5 HOURS", and "DON'T WIND THE DYNAMO FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES" and "ALWAYS KEEP THE SWITCH AT SOLAR POSITION UNLESS USE THE OTHER TWO POSITIONS."These things are pretty important because they either drain the battery or wreck it.This is essential operating info.I used a Sharpie to write these instructions on the bottom of the lantern.It's not pretty, but at least I don't have to keep the box handy and I don't have to worry about wrecking the thing because I forgot the instructions.

Coleman StormBeam Dynamo Lantern with Radio and Cell Phone Chargers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)[...]
I cranked mine for one and a half minutes and the radio lasted 6 minutes. Possibly somebody on the assembly line is inserting junk batteries--this couldn't be the way it was intended to work.
