Been looking around online without much success for some Permethrin in 10% or similar solution. Would like to treat my clothing before travel and buying and diluting a 10% solution is much much cheaper than buying a pre-made 0.5% spray that can only treat a single item.

I'm soon to be off in some very remote and isolated places. At times I'll be 3 days ride from civilisation, and can only carry so much bottled water. This led me to look at water filters. It's on thing that I just don't know anything about. I'll probably carry some water purification...
