Some time ago I shared an experience of a man I work with getting lost and using a compass to find his way out when the nature of the terrain and a severe blizzard rendered his GPS inoperable.

Xylem Filter

Kolarbyn
As much as I love making fun of environmentalist hippies and Swedes; I found myself reading this article and saying to myself hell yes I would.
