Come and read my blog about travel accessories, walking gear, tips on outdoor gear, info and reviews. There is a smattering of advice posts on what outdoor gear you may want and outdoor gear you need. Hey, I sell outdoor gear, 'course I'll blog about it!. Will couple this with other interesting snippets on the outdoors as and when it pops up. Keep checking back and thanks for looking at the Walk and Travel Blog.

What about potassium permanganate for the water sterilization? One crystal for about a litre of water for drinking and can be used in stronger quantities for sterilizing. Have you used it before on your travels?
Hi Phil, thanks for the comments. potassium permanganate works well for water sterilisation. But can you get hold of it anymore? I remember buying it from the local chemist and mixing it with glycerin (as shown by my chemistry teacher...). You can't even get Iodine to use for water sterilisation anymore. I would imagine potassium permanganate has gone down the same route...
