How To Make A Bamboo Waterfilter (Charcoal)

This emergency filter is something you can build in a survival situation if you don't have anything else. Since this filter is not made out of activated charcoal it is only good for filtering out sediments. It won't filter out Giardia or any sort of bacteria and viruses. Only boiling makes your water safe to drink.

BIG NEWS: I have designed my own Survival Knife called “APO-1” - you can get it now at my online store: www.survivallilly.at/ Thank you so much for your support

[@jgp2672]

I'm amazed that many people who reply seemed to not have listened to what Lilly said. This is a SURVIVAL situation being demonstrated and Lilly clearly stated that boiling is best and that this filter she constructed is "better than nothing". So I suggest that if one does not want to get caught in a similar situation always be sure you have your personal Lifestraw Filter with you.

[@revk8611]

Great video Lily. When you find yourself in an emergency situation, anything is better than nothing. I have a water filter kit but I am going to add a hollow tube to my pack in case I ever need it when the other doesn't work. Now I am going to get myself some beef jerky because that looked good.

[@louisehiker9246]

Enjoying your videos. I like how you used your knife to secure the top of your bottle to the tree stump. Brilliant!

Will definitely have to do that. Thanks

Thanks for this, an interesting way to purify water, or at least make it as drinkable as possible, I love your mad dog, he seems to love the forest more then yourself. Be Safe.

[@UrbanSurvivalcraft]

Very slick!

[@JerryBlizzard]

Hello Lily. I really liked your water purification method. Your skills in the woods may be a little more advanced than mine. I always carried purification tablets. Sometimes i even swallowed a little grit from sandy water that I did not take time to filter properly. I figured a little grit was added minerals and fiber that my insides would thank me for. Besides, i never got sick in the Rocky Mountains.

[@linklesstennessee2078]

good video lily very helpful

[@wayneoverstreet3424]

Hello Lilly". Great video, I always look forward to seeing them. Best Wishes".

[@tomm2812]

Lilly. Darn clever. I will put this in my personal book of knowledge. ..brain. Best

[@bugikraxn]

Hi Lilly, Great tutorial with important stuff! Used a commercial waterfilter with ceramic/carbon filter cartridge during my last tour. Really wet weather conditions. That filter was blocked after every 500ml and the filter cartrigde need to be cleaned. Finally, I decided just to boil the dirty and polluted water from the creeks, which works fine. Now, I know a workaround how to purify before boiling ;-) ATB. Franz, bugikraxn.

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

That was really awesome. I'll have to be on the lookout for bamboo to try this. Thanks for sharing. -Jacko

[@primitivetechnology8011]

Very effective Emergency Pocket Waterfilter, Good work

[@JonAlmada]

Great video and yes, I'd filter and then boil the water too - neat to see how you did the construction of the filter and I'll definitely remember this technique for possible use...

[@DebbyWells]

I have watched this and its great... You suggested Lillie's video's and I love them. Thank you.

Thank you for the video and what a beautiful dog you have🤠

[@kerryward6896]

very nice vid !

[@cavemanNCC1701]

Hey Lilly , great filter , you should also try tapping trees , I bought some tree taps off Amazon and carry at least two in my pack . The tree it's self is the filter and you get a lot of natural vitamins and minerals .

[@brogs60]

Nice and neat, you can also dig down to the water table and fill the hole with Grass and compress the grass and the water that filters to the surface is relatively clean, yours is much better , but the other will suffice if you don't happen to have a Bamboo tube or Charcoal on you.

[@officialzachyb]

Another great video Lilly! :) I love your videos an you as well. You are very beautiful an d a really cute laugh too. But your pocket filter was great. You even had a cup at the end also. You have a great mind for bushcraft.

[@CBGMaker]

Good way to do it, I just don't understand the need for the bamboo tube. Cut the bottom off the bottle and half fill it with your moss and charcoal mix. then run water thru that. Thanks for the idea. Fun to watch.

[@4091740]

Dax cracks me up everytime!

[@prospero6337]

You and the Dax are Champion !

[@allaprima]

good videos, love your dog!

[@naturebc]

I like it! That dog cracks me up every time. I'd say you could live without the bamboo tube which could be hard to find and just lay the stuff into the bottle and do the same thing.

[@tropifiori]

Very Clever.ThanksFrank B

[@drcsep]

Excelente. Gracias.
