Umm, yes you can drink it, but no, it won't make you drunk <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Anyway, while looking for a field knife sharpener, I came across this interesting sharpener/survival kit.

http://www.survivalschool.com/products/survival/survival_tool.htm

Included in the kit is the fire-water powder which they claim will start fires (place small pile on board and then scrap edge of provided tool or stick through pile making sparks and heat). They say it can also be used to purify water (no instructions for use found in site). So, does anyone know what this powder is?

Thanks
