Sawyer
They acquired Coulston Products in 1999, the company that helped develop the use of permethrin, an insect repellent treatment for clothing that provides protection for U.S. troops and outdoor enthusiasts, and was adapted for use on mosquito nets now widely used in Africa saving millions of lives. Sawyer partnered with the World Health Organization (WHO) to conduct the underlying studies that led to the widespread use of repellent on mosquito netting.
They are also the proud developers of point-of-use water filters that filter contaminated water to levels cleaner than U.S. bottled water. Developed using advanced kidney dialysis filtration technology, their hollow fiber membrane filters are the fastest, easiest, and most cost efficient way to deliver clean water anywhere. They are small, portable and dont require chemicals, a power source or a trained operator for use or maintenance.
Camping emergency and survival gear are the safety nets that transform outdoor adventures into secure experiences. First aid kits are essential for addressing injuries, while fire-starting tools, like waterproof matches or fire starters, provide warmth and sustenance in emergencies. Multi-tools serve as versatile problem-solvers, and headlamps ensure visibility in the dark. Emergency blankets offer crucial warmth, and whistles can signal for help. Portable water purifiers provide a vital hydration source, while GPS devices and compasses prevent getting lost. Finally, compact shelters offer protection from the elements. These gear items are indispensable, ensuring campers are prepared for the unexpected, making the wilderness a safer and more manageable environment.
