Or maybe a small bucket and a sponge.

psub
Just an idea:
What about making an apparatus with a certain "family resemblance" to a
CO2 scrubber, but using regular bentonite dry clay instead of soda lime in
this one.
Bentonite (sodium montmorillonite) is actually capable of obtaining 12
times it's own volume of water during swelling.
Best regards,
Jens Laland
** Alan,

** In the States, our hardware stores have tubs of pelletized desiccant

** scrubber material in rebreathers to lower the humidity level of the

** irritating freshening scents added that can be VERY cloying in the
