Yep the PNY Swivel just survived the washer / dryer. FYI

Funny, my wife never checks my clothes before tossing them in the wash and a Sandisk Cruzer recently survived as well.

I managed to wash and dry my Sandisk too! I was surprised it still worked. I guess they can be trail rated now...

I just washed one yesterday. I do it probably a few times a month.

**Walkintom** · 03-31-2011, 20:13

Washed a Patriot Xporter last weekend. No ill effects.

So that's how you clean a disk? I wonder if I can clean out my lap top too?

**leaftye** · 04-01-2011, 09:52

Many electronics are waterproof. Just make sure you dry it completely before you plug it back in or turn it on.

http://www.google.com/search?q=tuff+...ient=firefox-a This usb device is teeny weeny and its marketed as a water/dust/dirt proof. I've had mine for about 8 months and no problems. I can vouch for the water part, though i don't recommend putting anything that is wet into a p.c

I'm probably older..I worked on a Octal based Univac 1108. circa 1968

Somebody try boiling one in your cook pot over an alchy stove and report back. This could end up being a fun experiment.

Here's a couple more suggestions:

-- Dangle one on the outside of your pack during your entire thru hike and see if it works at the end

-- Strap one on your boot shoe lace during your thru hike
