Today, the Steripen company has agreed to send me a free Steripen in exchange I will let them know how it held up in Sudan, along with sending pictures. Steripen is a UV lamp that kills viruses and bacteria by breaking down their DNA, which then will not be able to reproduce in your body and make you sick. So, you stick the Steripen lamp in your Nalgene bottle or some 1-liter bottle and turn the lamp on and swirl the water with it. The UV rays break down the DNA in seconds. The Steripen should last up to 1250 gallons per UV lamp, so I only need one. The Adventurer model runs on rechargeable CR123 batteries fits into a solar charger as a case to protect the Steripen when not in use and recharges the batteries. The Steripen company is sending me the Adventurer, and solar charger, and 2 sets of rechargeable batteries. Thanks Ed and the Steripen team!
