Growing up, our family fished, hunted, and grew our own food to supplement our food bill. Needless to say, we spent a lot of time outside, in the forests and mountains. My dad taught me how to procure water, filter it, and, sanitize the water. Filter was pebbles, sand, and dried grass. To sanitize it, simply boil it. I'm in my late 60s and I have used this method all my life and never have I or anyone else gotten sick. My father taught me bushcraft at a very early age. As a kid, I always thought it was just plain fun. But looking back on it, he was preparing me for hard times. Thanks Dad. I miss ya...

I have something to add. When I was in Iraq there was a scientist I had befriended, he worked for KBR. We were at Camp Warrior Kurkuk. He sent off samples of plastic, and water samples. These water bottles were loaded onto pallets and exposed to the sun all day, every day, untill consumed. The labs came back stating the plastic that made up the disposable water bottles were leaching into the water. The plastic was like a 20 letter word. It proved the water we consumed either civilian contractors, military personnel were puting this plastic in our bodies. He went to the camp manager of the base. They fired him, and sent him back to the states. So drinking from disposable water bottles is not healthy what so ever! The reverse osmosis water puryification is the best, but you need 40 lbs of water pressure for it work. It goes thru either five to seven pre filters with the reverse osmosis membrane being the last filter. You forgot one free method of drinking water. When it rains from the sky, if you inspect that water with a TDS meter, total total desolved solids. You will learn it will read 0. If you test a glass of tap water depending your location and water company, you will get 350-550 ppm, parts per million. Soif you have a food grade five gallion plastic bucket with a large funnel. You can collect water from a heavy rain fall, and have clean drinking water. Also in a survival mode, your tank to your comode, you can drink and cook with this water. As long as you do not have the toilet bowel blue tablet in there! A good reverse water filter system you can find on line at aquarium stores. They can provide 200-300 gallions every 24 hrs. For about $350-450. The filters will last about one year. One method to test your water for clarity, get a ice tray, fill with your tap water, put in freezer. Once frozen hard inspect the ice cube, it will be white. Do the same with a reverse osmosis water filter. The ice cube will be mostly clear! I love you my brother, I am the same marine that commented on your water well!

@@charlesdayon8420 not true, who ever told you this has lied to you big time!

[@buggsy5]

There are apparently a few plastics that do not leach into water or food, even when they are heated. Leaving pallets of water in the sun for days on end is pure negligence. It encourages the growth of algae and any bacteria in the water, as well is increasing any leaching problem.

[@JohnsonJLB]

Reverse osmosis will purify water, but you really should put minerals back in after the process. You should be getting minerals from water. If not when you drink that water with little to no minerals then your body will lose minerals to that water as it equalizes and then you'll pee out more minerals than you take in. It's the same reason you shouldn't drink distilled water.

[@MissionaryForMexico]

@@JohnsonJLB distilled water is dead water, use that for your vehicle radiator and heating iron. Reverse osmosis water will remove the minerals, but you get minerals from fresh produce and fresh fruits. Fluoride and other chemicals in your tap water will be removed. A proper operating system will get your water down to 0 ppm. I have also noticed you no longer can smell the chlorine in your tap water after going thru reverse osmosis!

[@islamisthetruewaytogod6812]

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them)… Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Salam (Peace) -

A good thing about burnt wood aka charcoal.. It naturally cleans the water from micro organisms. Just line the bottom of your container with it. And filter it through to a smaller container with more charcoal. As you transfer the water back to the big tank it cleans it twice.. My grandfather had an old well. That was a way that his father showed him how to clean water here..

[@MikeMcCombs]

We have a 55 gallon plastic barrel. I plan to site barrel up on blocks or logs and drill a hole or two in the bottom & then cut enough wood to burn and make enough charcoal to fill the barrel ⅓ to ½ with small to medium sized charcoal. The finer inches of charcoal dust should settle & collect at the bottom of the barrel...and then put a fine garden mesh over the charcoal and almost fill the barrel to within 4-6" with fine, well rinsed sand from the creek. We plan to filter & drink this creek water that runs pretty fast most of the time. Another layer of the garden mesh on top would help shield against bugs & flies, leaf litter, pollen & other foreign matter.... If anyone has thoughts of this not working well or working better with additional back woods technologies.

Even if you have environmentally stable plastic, that does not denature in the presence of nominal levels of temperature and light, microorganisms do break down plastic. If you truly think that this is negligible, well, I can't help you fix your judgement, priorities, or recklessness. But, you can't say I am wrong when I point out that no microorganism can break down glass.

[@Nate-bn5kk]

I'm so glad that a lot of people know this, I'm seeing other comments like this. Plastic still leaches into water out of the sun, just at a slower rate. But leaving it in the sun will definitely speed up the plastic leaching into your water.

Sorry to burst your bubble but glass wouldn't work well for last method and if you're in a situation were need to do this the leeched microplastics are least of your worries. Not all UV is created equally. UV-B and UV-C are what you need for sterilization. The atomsphere blocks virtually all the more effective UV-C and only lets about 5% of B through. Glass even clear optical glass just happens to block almost all UV-B as well. This is why you won't get a sunburn if nap next to a window on a sunny day

Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Salam (Peace) -

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them)… Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion.

I have a hand-pump that fits those bottles. I found this approach to be easier than trying to fight for 50 20-oz bottles of water. Also remember if you have electric water heaters, that is a freshwater source too. I have 2, 50 gallon heaters so that means I have another 100 gallons of water ready to go. I have several lifestraws as a plan C if things get "really different" here.

If you're looking for something that won't cost much simply gather your water in a larger bucket and let it rest so the solids sink to the bottom. Scoop the water out trying not to unsettle what's at the bottom then boil the water for 30 minutes and filter it through a shirt. Boiling the water is 100% safe against pathogens etc but it wont remove chemicals heavy metals etc. It would be interesting to find the right materials like activated charcoal and fibers to make a simple but much more efficient filter.

[@HAXMAN]

[@exteriorized]

WOW, hard to believe so many people make assumptions about water purification and reverse osmosis.. I am a 30 year water filtration technician working on a field of thousands of residential reverse osmosis systems. ALL filtration systems whether carbon or reverse osmosis have capacities relative to the contaminant level of the incoming water. If I was out in the wild and needed water, I would only trust freshly drawn water that is clear and boil it for a number of minutes to ensure all the "sea monkey & larva" are killed!! Drawing water as shown in this video from a swamp would be nuts because it is very stagnant water with tannins from the vegetation and trees. Tannins are what change the water into colored water when you add the tea bag. Teas composed of "known vegetation" makes a delicious drink. Tannins of unknown combinations and possibly poisonous leaves are likely to make you sick. Clear water is just best to start with as it has the lowest sediments or tannins. Straining water through a tee shirt could work sure! Even clear water can be high in bacteria. There can be different levels of bacteria though and filter solutions have to be designed and tested to known parameters. Boiling raw water for many minutes is the best chance of getting low or no bacterial levels. Lets say you do boil some clear raw water for 15 minutes, ok now the boiling has killed the bacteria. But keep in mind unless you have a way to bottle and refrigerate that water you boiled. It will start to absorb bacteria and what not from the environment. I couldn't say how long that boiled water would be good, depends on how strong your gut it but I think a day at most. So what I a water technician that works on filtration equipment would have as emergency water treatment equipment would be is: 1. Coleman type camping stove (has other uses also) 2. propane to power the stove (and other devices like lanterns) 3. 1-2 gal stainless steel stew pot -not aluminum (ideally just having 1 pot and lid for boiling water separate from cooking is best). 4. Four to six empty clean 1 gal water bottles with caps---keep the raw water bottles marked raw or treated in case you have to walk a little distance to the water source and do not want to contaminate the treated bottles with what ever? 5. large stainless steel funnel 6. A stainless steel cone shaped SCREEN which will separate out larger solids before boiling as you do not want "tea". Stainless steel screens can be easily cleaned and do come in different mesh sizes . Yes a cotton shirt could be used but you would need to fully clean it and dry it outside in the sun before using it a second time or it will accumulate bacteria- you have smelled a moldy bath towel haven't you? 7. Chlorine tablets-Once you boil screened water for 15-20 min, let it cool and then add chlorine tablets which will keep the bacteria from re forming and pour it into gallon bottles. Chlorine tabs are sold with suggestion on how many tabs per gallon. safety Note if you do not cool the boiled water to touch and pour warm water into plastic bottles, the heat in the bottles may excessively warm the plastic and leach chemicals from the plastic. Store this boiled and treated water in marked bottles in the shade not the sun or it will decrease the bacteria regeneration. I would not suggest using Chlorine bottled for laundry use as there are numerous other contaminants in that bleach. Stores dedicated to hiking camping should have chlorine tablets that are easy to store and made for human consumption. E.coli can kill) The berky system (silver canister design) or the low cost do it your self design. That is designed for city approved and treated water- not streams, lakes or water of unknown quality. Unknown quality is water that is not lab tested. You cannot "taste cysts , bacteria or e coli so you cannot just take a taste and go , oh it tastes fine must be ok. In the video he says these cartridges are designed to remove things including I think I heard gasoline?? Those cartridges are designed to "polish" and further reduce contaminants in city approved water- not raw water from an unmonitored well, lake or stream. A common contaminant I remove for my customers is Chloramines. The cartridge I use was tested and rated using city approved water for 1000 gallons. It is not effective for some unknown galons of water. So the question is always what was the actual rating of contaminants removed vs incomming concentrations. Many wells and underground water supplies are near cattle, livestock and even septic systems which over time allow many contaminants including bacteria to seep underground. Often chlorine pellets are mechanically dropped into wells based on time and contamination levels to kill the excessive bacterial levels. Then the high chlorine well water is run through carbon filters up top. The berky system for a monitored well with lots of chlorine- or water which was boiled and treated then stored is an excellent idea to polish the water. Just not as your primary protection against disease causing organisms. Carbon is not used for bacteria removal more like chlorine removal - and you need a lot of it- not a spoonful as shown with that bag system. The carbon block he cut open is made by having granulated or finer carbon powder mixed with binders and other things and pressing it into a block with a rated pore size. There can be easily a dozen different carbons when mixed with different thing before being pressed into blocks. Point is not all carbon blocks can or will do the same exact thing or are tested to. Which carbon for what contaminant and in what quantity is what water professionals design into a filter system. It really isn't as simple as putting a few buckets together in all cases. Are those buckets even made for food grade use-BPH free? Yes carbon can absorb "some" very, very small amount of bacteria but then that carbon is like having a dirty sponge at your kitchen sink and needs to be replaced after running the bacteria filled water through. Oh and reverse osmosis for emergency use- not a good plan as they are not rated for "non potable water" which is city approved water. City approved water is water where they drew a sample and did perhaps a $500-$2000 lab test and then treated it as needed. If you were in a city where the power goes out and the chlorinators for the city stop working- or the treatment plant is flooded. They issue a boil all water notice because contaminants could be 10x higher - who knows-?? Reverse osmosis only works with water with low city approved levels, not raw water of unk values. Just something to think about.😁

Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them)… Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Salam (Peace) -

I suffered from bouts of amoebic dysentery for four months until we realized the ice maker was drawing water straight from the city water line. All the rest of the water we used was processed through a dozen water purifiers. As a Southerner, I used lots of ice. That was the cause of my illness. 🧐 That was in 1994, Sofia, Bulgaria. I truly hope things are better now for them.

Very good start on basic water , treatment . Great idea not complicating the process too much, Well done. First I was a Certified Water/Waste Water Treatment Operator for over 30 years so I have pretty good idea of how it’s done in a Municipal Treatment Plant. If a person has access to regular household bleach that would solve a big problem with disinfecting the water and killing the little Micro organisms that causes GIiardia which is the diarrhea or dysentery. Prefiltering with tee shirt material, coffee filter or a simple made sand filter, gets the TSS Total Suspended Solids out which can actually recontaminate your water . You can make gallons of Chlorine by picking up Chlorine used in swimming pools for disinfecting the water, it will store indefinitely. Great video, should really get people to thinking about how simple water treatment is with the bare essentials and right supplies.

You can get the buckets and lids from any bakery for just a couple bucks. Even Walmart will sell them. Also, if you vent the bottom bucket it will filter much faster. There are many ways to do that so I won't list them all here but it really speeds things up. I use a home made system like you showed when camping in the boundry waters. Works great with lake water. But 2 things to remember. When you filter lake water for a few days the filters will get scum on the outside. You can take them out and clean them with a tooth brush and keep using them. And let's face it. No one is actually going to filter 12,000 gallons of water. So the real life span of the filters are 1 year once you start using them. Not sure what happens at the end of the year, but all the ones on the internet that I researched said something like 12,000 gallons or 1 year. If anyone knows if you can safely use them after a year please let me know. Maybe it's just the companies way to drive sales?

The life straw and the P&G packets are nice for a week-long camping trip. But if you want to be surviving for years without any other human contact, dig a well. The ground filters water and slowly introducing that water into your supply will get your body accustomed to it. I know this because I lived in cities/suburbs up until I was about 26, and then I moved into a place I could afford out in the country, where they had only well water. The first day there drinking the tap water (which came straight from the well) I was sick as hell with the runs. So I decided to get bottled water to last me a week, and for every cup of bottled water I'd add a teaspoon of the well water. After only a month of doing that, I tried straight drinking the well water and was fine from then on. Survival isn't about "getting the best products to help you", it's about acclimation and adaptation.

In a bag of water skimmed from the top of the water source WITHOUT handfuls of mud added, the packets would probably work perfectly and give you clear water. The P&G particles are attaching themselves to the dirt and sinking to the bottom. You added like 5 normal bags worth of sediment, so of course the particles will run out and leave dirty water.

*I realize the subtext of this video is **_"Water purification that doesn't require electricity."_* *However, assuming you have access to electricity - and, as a good prepper, why wouldn't you have a solar cell array - consider a water distiller. They can be found on Amazon for as low as $75; though I'd recommend spending a bit more (around $125) to get one that is UL listed and with a digital timer to shut off after a set time.* *I have well water that is super heavy; not just with calcium, but iron, too. The water is visibly orange and absolutely disgusting to drink; probably not safe to drink long-term, either. I fill my water distiller, plug it in, set the timer, and 4 hours later I have 3 liters of distilled H20. Due to the water being boiled to produce steam which is then condensed back into liquid, it's sterilized; there are no bacteria or viruses. The condensate also passes through a carbon filter to remove VOCs (assuming there were any to begin with). At the end I'm left with nothing but pure, drinkable H20.* *For those concerned about the lack of minerals, simply buy yourself a small bag of Himalayan Sea Salt. Adding 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of distilled water restores whatever mineral losses you may be concerned about without negatively impacting the flavor (i.e. you can't taste the salt).* *Lastly, as the distiller pumps out a considerable amount of heat (after all, it **_IS_** boiling water for 4 hours), it can double as a space heater in the Winter for a small cabin. Win-win. If you got creative, you could probably even rig some kind of stand above the exhaust fan - while still allowing sufficient air flow - to heat (HEAT, not cook) food.* *So, like I said in the opening, if you've got electricity, I think a water distiller is your best bet for the purest, safest possible drinking water.*

Would love to see the puribag water under a microscope to see how clean it really is. The mosquito larva swimming around in there really makes me wonder how clean it actually is.

Just look at it like this - Free protein!

To me, it looked like the puribag primarily used a floculant for the primary treatment - then a carbon filter for the final treatment. I didn't see any larvae getting past the carbon filter - although there are chemicals and viruses that can pass through even the best carbon filters.
