I commented once that if I'm ever stranded on a deserted island, I've married the perfect man because Grant is so innovative and problem-solving oriented that we'd be fine and as comfortable as humanly possible. But, I'm not gonna lie--you wouldn't be so bad to have around in a pinch, either.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17973108047356892500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770040501124297598.post-21315579719010871232009-01-04T23:23:00.000-05:002009-01-04T23:23:00.000-05:00UV light is blocked by the surface of the water. ...UV light is blocked by the surface of the water. So if the pen is under water (it won't go on unless it can tell it is submerged) the UV rays can't hurt you.<BR/><BR/>The pen has a timer on it. If you stir until the timer goes off then you can be sure all the bugs are dead (assuming you did stir, not just hold the pen still).Heberfarnsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410284354232381519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770040501124297598.post-26293750535362776672009-01-04T20:01:00.000-05:002009-01-04T20:01:00.000-05:00wonderful spring water?

But you are in missouri. <BR/><BR/>Tho I do agree with drinking water from the environment. If I had had to carry those water jugs that you did, I would have revolved and quit after half a mileGranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11216967237392666778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770040501124297598.post-9717901019026091782009-01-04T19:59:00.000-05:002009-01-04T19:59:00.000-05:00I'm real interested in the UV pen, but I don't rea...I'm real interested in the UV pen, but I don't really get it. They sell UV filters for aquariums, but it's a tube the lights up on the inside and you run water through it. I like that design better. It seems like with your design the UV rays can come back at you. Plus how do you know you got the light everywhere in there and if you stirred it for long enough. I think they should be tube shaped and you pump it through like it was a filter. Clean water coming out one side. That kind of thing. <BR/><BR/>Or you should use some kind of non transparent container. If it kills bugs it can't be good for skin.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11216967237392666778noreply@blogger.com
