a. would a 1L Gatorade bottle mouth opening be large enough for that Steripen?
b. are you including original packaging and instructions?
c. what was your experience with the Steripen? likes, dislikes?
d. when was it purchased? how old?

I'm not sure if a Gatorade bottle would work. I used a one liter bottle as my dirty water bottle for treatment. If you are interested, I will include that bottle with the purchase so you will know you have a bottle that works. Yes I will include original instructions but I don't have the packaging. I loved the steripen. The things I liked were the ease of use and assurance of killing all the bugs. The things I didn't like were the expense of the batteries. I purchased it about this time last year.

I tried PMing but it said your box was full so I'm responding here:

"I am headed back from vacation now and will be in the air most of tomorrow so if you respond now that I am still very interested in purchasing this if you don't hear from me right away. I just might be in the air. If possible I'd like to pay tomorrow so it goes out ASAP. I am planning a trip next weekend and I'd love to take it with me since we're expecting below freezing temps.

if it's easier, just let me know where to pay can I can send the funds when I'm on a layover."
