That article says 8 drops per gallon but I thought it was 10 and I thought u had to boil water for 3 minutes but it said 1 min so...
One minute does seem a little short. I think I'd rather wait a few more than risk getting cleaned out by giardia.

A Visine bottle full of bleach will treat a lot of water
---edit----
i have always used bleach on poison ivy so it duel use
i pick up a lot of great stuff from you but putting bleach in a visine bottle is a very bad idea. who knows who will tyr it someday somewhere?

For some odd reason, I am the type of person that would go out of his way to help people. ive always been that way. When I first started playing that video game, I would get my ass killed on a regular basis b/c I would always try to help a stranger trying to survive in the game. Ive bandaged people up, given them food and ammo and helped them find their friends only to have been murdered for my gear. As dumb as it may sound, it kind of has woken me up to the possibility about a SHTF scenario, and how my want to help people would compromise myself and my people. needless to say, in the game ive evolved to stay away from strangers and keeping hidden instead of trying to help other survivors, b/c the good in me still cant run around killing people for their stuff. Its prob dumb to relate video games with real life, and i'm not. but at the same time, having all the preps in the world wont help you if you cant get your mind right in SHTF scenarios.
Ive evolved a bit in my way of thinking kind of like Rick Grimes in the walking dead has. In the beginning, he would always put himself in harms way to help other people, people not even in his survival group. now in this last season, he's figuring out how that is more hurting than beneficial.

No but I'm really interested after lookin at ur link
This is my first attempt at a GHB to go along with my EDC. I have no intentions of including a spare change of clothes. I read around the web that a good rule of thumb, its gonna take approx 24hrs to travel 10mi in a semi-hostile environment. I currently work 26miles one way from home, so this bag should sustain me for around 3 days (possibly a 2nd person too). I regularly wear either khaki or black pants, black shirts, gray shirts, etc. all neutral colors. this bag goes everywhere with me, along with a cap (edc flashlight has a clip for a ballcap to be used as a headlight) The layout of the bag, is setup for, when in need of use, I can deploy the strap to it, and carry it on my right side. the small front pouch houses 2 speed loaders for my EDC gun, and gives me quick access to a fixed blade knife, and velcro tear-away holding the non-latex gloves. keeps the multi-tool, lock blade and pen handy too.
