Military Boiling Bottles

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Heatgear 'Heatstick' Packs a Punch

— June 15, 2012 — Lifestyle
The 'Heatstick' does exactly as the name suggests within the contents of a Nalgene bottle. The metal shaft boils the liquid inside to provide safe drinking water.

Developed for the Special Forces and serious outdoorsman, the Heatstick allows rugged adventurers access to clean water wherever they are. The boiled water may not be refreshing on a hot summer day, but will allow you to turn dehydrated rations into comforting meals -- or enjoy a freshly brewed cup of joe. The Heatstick is completely flameless, odorless and silent when operating. Just pop in the fuel source, hit the ignite button and watch your water boil effortlessly.

Rather than getting up early to boil your morning meal, -- yes, that's what true nature lovers do -- the Heatstick bottle will let you catch a few extra z's. The easy-to-operate Heatstick is a must-have for nomadic backpackers.
