Now its easy to give up bottled water in England but what of when yo are abroad in countries where the water is not so reliable. India for example. It is not always possible to refill you water bottle with sterilized water. as in Leh, the Hemis trek or Arambol.

Most parts of India just don’t do that and will want to sell you water in those vile plastic bottles that are now such an ugly part of the Indian landscape.

The steri pen is my solution to that particular problem. Stick the sticky bit in a liter of water – switch on and 90 seconds later the water is safe to drink. Weighs next to nothing and is tiny.
