I saw a book written by a guy who walked the entire coast of Baja, both sides. He had a tea kettle rig that enabled him to distill fresh water from sea water over his campfire. Looks kinda like this. Does anyone know of a rig that doesn't look so heavy? How about a home-made version for backpacking the coasts?
I either want to buy one or make one, but it has to be as light and less bulky as possible. It seems pretty easy; just a tea kettle and a length of stainless tubing; the only difficulty I can see is a smart connection between the two, or a way to store the tubing inside the kettle when not in use. ??? I am somewhat of a perfectionist, so of course I need some more ideas.
