Yes, I know it won't fit inside an altoid tin, but does anyone have experience with any (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) products.  Something like this might even be useful when you find yourself in a backwater area on day drips (even if you don't otherwise filter).

I've got one of those filter straws in my gear, though I've never used it. If I remember correctly, it was around $10 at cabelas - pretty similar to the one in the link you posted.

I have never put together a ditch kit for several reasons. I don't do much in the way of river travel and I don't do to much cold weather paddling. Going to WCP has me thinking though (might be a while before somebody comes along Tongue )................ I should probably have one anyway.

What I am wondering is this; I suspect the propellant in my 1lb canister of bear spray which I always wear on my hip is likely flammable. How cool would that be? A literal flamethrower. A guy would probably have to be careful to not set the woods on fire. I wonder if anyone has tried it.........that is, holding a match up to it and giving it a pull :question

Ever test-fired a canister?  (I have.) Might give that a try and then tell us what you think about holding a match in front of it.

Man when we were kids we used to take hairspray cans and hold a lighter up to them and let her rip. Quite the spectacle.

Can't see how a guy would end up on that "ways to die show" but I could be mistaken. Exactly how would the flame climb back against the force of the propellant? I can't see it happening but that age old question keeps popping up.........."what's the worst that can happen"?
