Great video Gordo, I especially enjoyed seeing you go through the process a second time without the narration, which helped reinforce the learning as I was going through what to do next in my mind. I also really enjoyed seeing your bush camp and hearing the sounds of the bush. Ahh the serenity.

Mate that vid was brilliant especially with adding charcoal to the milbank bag to process the water before boiling. ( assuming to improve taste as just filtering without activated charcoal can still leave an off taste in the water).
@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia7 жыл бұрын
Thanks SA, sorry for the late reply….i'm overseas at the moment. Yes the charcoal certainly improves the taste and is added filtration if you are unable to boil. I use charcoal for many things.

Enjoyed your presentation Sir. As a K9 SAR personal working in a green environment on a tropical island your assorted videos help to remind me of the different diciplines needed while out on search and the possibilities of having to remain over night and setting up a small camp sight. Thank You & Aloha from Hawaii ~

May i ask why you couldn't just boil the water? I really enjoy all your videos
@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia7 жыл бұрын
Depending on the turbidity of the water you could just boil it. If it is free from particulate matter and clear thats what i usually do but if there is any turbidity you should always filter it first. Thanks for the feedback.

You can also get them off ebay and they are not very expensive at all being no more than $10-$30 AUD. They can get clogged if you are using water with alot of mud or dirt and will take forever to remove sediment.
@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia7 жыл бұрын
Thats very true. A good smack against a tree when they are also dry dislodges some of the gunk as well.

@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia7 жыл бұрын
Thanks…..I have been in the army for over 15 years, currently attached to Norforce, a Regional Force Surveillance Unit (RFSU) in the NT. Millbank bags are standard army kit issue…at least they were until recently. You could possibly find one in an army disposal store.

Gordon I'm not trying to tell you how to suck eggs mate but the Millbank Bag should have been soaked in the creek first to get it saturated.
@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia4 жыл бұрын
I usually always do! That was a very old video, and the person who was editing it at the time (I don't edit them) used the wrong take and unfortunately I did not check it until much later. Sometimes wrong takes and verbal slips find their way into videos which happens from time to time. KZbin does not allow you to add text after the fact. Good spotting

G'Day Gordon, do you have a site to buy gear from or could you tell me where to get a millbank filter?
@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia5 жыл бұрын
You can sign up for our newsletter www.bushcraftsurvivalaustralia.com.au/September18newsletter.html. and see that there is link you can follow that will give you a discount at Gear Supply once you use the promo code. To obtain a Milbank bag you will have to find a surplus store that sells them. Not easy as the army are slowly fading them out. Rupert Brown in the UK makes a modern version called the Brown Bag which is very good. Hope that helps.

This is not easy as you said, I tried this before the sand and the materials inside will make the water even more dirty it will take like more than half day for the water to become clear:(
@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia2 жыл бұрын
It all depends on what material you use. It shouldn't take any longer than 30 minutes. Some clays and soils will cause water to become cloudy. Sand, charcoal, spagnum moss, grass etc are all clean filter sources. You won't be able to get rid of tannins in the water Eg from a paperbark swamp. Tea coloured water is still clear, it's just coloured by the tannins. Thanks for watching.

Don't forget the higher your altitude the boiling time will increase
@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia5 жыл бұрын
Yes of course, every 1000 feet you need to boil for one minute extra... not so applicable in northern Australia. Some things don’t make it into the editing stage even though they were filmed, especially when the camera dies without you knowing it. Thanks for watching.

No need to purify the one from the rain
@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia4 жыл бұрын
It depends on what surface the rain makes contact with. Generally speaking no, but if there are chemicals on the plastic, glues etc or alkaloids on the leaves of poisonous plants then you may need to purify. However in order to remove chemicals you need activated charcoal. Boiling will not get rid of chemicals. Thanks for watching.
