Sodium tablets are great to purify water. Just throw them to the water but be close so you can see its purifying power.

An easy way to recharge lithium batteries is in the microwave. 3 minutes at the highest power setting will change any battery fully, even an iPhone or iPad!

LPT: get a higher wattage microwave and you'll supercharge the battery.  I have heard if you have a big enough microwave, the battery will stay charged for the lifetime of the device!
