I;m taking 2 Platypus 2 Liter water bags. These can be used to gather, transport and hold water found. It is also excellent to hold water while cleaning it with Micropur tablets to remove bacteria and viruses found in wilderness water.
It does take 4 hours for water purification tablets (chlorine dioxide) to clean the water.
Micropur is chlorine dioxide that removes viruses, bacteria, Giardia and Cryptosporidium. It treats one liter of water and takes four hours to be effective.

Don Ratliff just informed me that he is running 2-3 days behind in his delivery of another aircraft, and hence, we probably won’t take off till May 7th or 8th.
As Don noted, you must be prepared for change in aviation.
I guess this gives me a few more days of preparation.
This knife can be very handy in an emergency. You may need to cut yourself or your partner out of a jammed seat belt during a ditching. You may have to break a window to let the water in to equalize the pressure.

This Gerber 6.5″ Folding Saw with exchangeable blade is one of 3 knives I will be carrying. Redundancy is the key to safety.
It’s great for sawing wood or tinder in the wilderness. I bought this at REI which is a great store to pick up many survival items. I think the cost of the saw was around $30.

I’m a little stressed trying to get everything prepared…I guess that’s a good thing.
Miss Behavin’ is being serviced at the Van Nuys Flight Center by Bill Noctor and Arthur. She’s getting a new seat put in and quick releases for the back seat. She’s also having her windshield caulked again.
I’m flying into Baja Mexico by myself this weekend so Arthur is loading the Jeppesen charts into my Garmin 1000.
I still have to attach all of my survival gear by lanyard to my Switlik helicopter vest and my survival vest.
The trip to Florida and back really tested out Miss Behavin’s engine which is a very good thing.
More later…
