Emergency Water: Part 1 - Transpiration Bag

[@oscareyone]

I remember learning this at school as a little kid up north of WA. It must have been some survival idea the school had, that if we got lost in the bush, at least we'd know enough to stay alive for rescue. I always thought that it was far too easy, that there was something I'd gotten wrong when remembering it, but nope, it really is that easy! Thanks for reminding me Gordon!

Wow! That's fantastic! Love how you explain everything in layman's terms and easy step by step. Thank you for a great video. I'm buying a couple of these bags, can't wait to try it 😊

[@flamefox8989]

I didn't realise it would yield so much. Thanks for tutorial 😀

[@outbackowl3040]

Hi Gordon, greeting, hope you have a happy new year. Great videos, muchly appreciated. This is essentially important for people who travel in the outback, thank you.

I once used the desalination method salt water to steam then to fresh water using a metal water bottle with a long pipe at the end to cool down the steam

Hey Gordon - it’s Vince from Sydney Band days. Justin Lingard told me about your channel.

[@Chucky-b7v]

This has a good old Malcolm Douglas vibe to it! Thanks for all the detailed information in this video. Greetings from Germany

[@anthimatter]

Always a pleasure to watch another one of your videos Gordon. I'll be picking up a couple of these when they come back in stock. I love when nature does the work for me.

[@LifeWithGooch]

Great video, Gordo!

If I were to keep bags for emergency use I think I’d also keep some small plastic taps to install on them to make water retrieval easier and potentially increase the bag longevity.

Glad to see some more of you. All the best from Canada

I remember learning this in school. We were sent in groups of three to get the water, the group who got the most water won a block of chocolate. Thankfully it was my group 😊🎉😊🎉

[@OutdoorAcademyAustralia]

Although it's a passive method, and sure way to get water in a pinch, my issue with this method in warmer months is that the average bloke will need 10- 13 cups of water per day. You would need several bags if this was your only source. In saying that, a couple of bags would be handy as they have multiple uses, so still a good bit of kit to have.

[@Funkteon]

Folded neatly, you can easily fit half-a-dozen of those plastic bags into a very small space and secure them folded up using a rubber band. Half-a-dozen of these bags would easily collect 2L of water per full day under sunny conditions. And 2L per day is all you need to survive in a stationary situation while awaiting rescue...

Out of stock? Don’t seem to be able to find one of these.

[@Binzy-jq2xq]

A bag with a small plastic tap in the corner would be a good idea

[@neilkilleen3911]

Next revision, add a little valve in the corner. The plastic looks quite thick and durable to handle that …

Now where have you been hiding Gordon? Regardless, it's good to see you back again mate... Now show the one where you piss in a hole in the ground. Your bag would also be good for that. Q. With the climate changes happening worldwide, is there any of your previous posts, that you would consider re-configuring, for the changing climate conditions? Eg: In flood/Storm scenarios etc.
