Who drinks wild water on tour?

This thread reminded me, back in the day I carried a small phial of potassium permanganate crystals.

The idea was that pink water is potable, more concentrated purple, antiseptic. Dunno how accurate this was, I only used it a couple of times.

Customs at international borders loved finding my wierdly coloured crystals, but became disapointed over my explanation :/
