 Works Great September 16, 2007

I have used the SteriPEN Adventurer for a week of backpacking in Colorado. Several days involved sterilizing what you would ordinarily call "good" water from running streams. But, several days included taking water from a lake in an area with heavy human use (no human waste management like a pit toilet). The water was obviously questionable and I was concerned that the SteriPEN would not be up to the challange. But, the only way to know was to try it, so I did. No illness at all. Got at least 50 quart sterilizations with one set of two CR123A batteries (non-rechargable). The product and its single LED signals take a little getting used to, but my experience convinces me it does the job.
It is very rugged - though I always worried about breaking the bulb. I took no special precautions carrying it. Simply stowed the provided hard shell and poly-canvas carry bag in the backpack with other gear. It traveled without problem.
Well, I did not get sick, nor did he.... August 5, 2007

After a good friend returned from a tour in Iraq, he told me about a "sterilizing pen" that he had used while overseas. I have to admit that I was rather skeptical being a pump carrying/Iodine using type hiker, but I decided to give the thing a try (swayed by the info that other military folks in my friends unit did get sick, and the information on the Steri-Pen website as to the frequency of illness with the methods of purification I was using).
Since its purchase I have utilized the Steri-Pen on two multi day hiking trips, and have felt fine the whole time. Admittedly, I did not drink from any questionable sources, nor did anyone else in my party get sick using other methods. But with the weight being so little and the level of removal claimed by the maker being so high, I felt that this was a great purchase for someone into lightweight packing.
I will amend this entry if I do get sick in the future......
