Survival Water Purifier

My husband is stocking up supplies (food, medical supplies, water purifiers, kerosene and heaters, almost everything). December 21, 2012 is the day he turns 60. I think he's loosing it. What do you think?

Not entirely nuts. It never hurts to have some emergency supplies, although it is possible to take things a bit too far. And make sure that the kerosene is stored safely - There would be a certain irony in being blown up by your emergency fuel reserve.

I'm fully aware of:
*commercial, medical, residential, retail real estate.
*private businesses, real estate investment trusts, stocks, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, oil/natural gas trusts.
*corporate bonds, municipal bonds, other government bonds.
*precious stones, precious metals, other non-renewable natural resources that can be owned.
*knives, firearms, dehydrated food, water, water purifiers, other mostly-functional survival objects which could be traded after society collapses.
*knowledge of how to build, operate and repair systems, be they business or mechanical.

I'll define an asset as something that can add value to you or someone else, and can be traded for goods and/or services. I don't consider a job to be an asset, and self-employed-type skills like salesmanship are covered above under knowledge. Please don't start splitting hairs about any of the above (for instance, palladium goes under precious metals). I'm an investment fiend, and I need a new fix.

I think you are missing a big part of the intangible category - brand names and trademarks

These can by protected via patents and sold or leased.

I was wondering how you make unsafe water clean enuogh to drink without a purifier.
Like if I was in a survival situation where I had to boil it. How does that work?

enough heat kills the bacteria. Boiling it is the best way to go.

Use the Frontier Emergency Water Filter System to drink from any bottle, cup or directly from water sources.
Ultra light and compact, the Aquamira Frontier Emergency Filter System weighs less than one ounce and easily slips into a day pack, shirt pocket or travel luggage and is always ready when you need it.
The Frontier Filter is the ideal alternative to heavy, bulky and expensive pump filtration units when space and weight are primary factors. Activated carbon helps reduce waterborne chemicals and improves water taste.
