I remember doing that when I was in 4th grade and then again in my AP Environmental Science class in High School. Definitely useful! I’ll never forget it.

How old were you in third grade?

Can you share please?

@@woodsie5796 there is many different ways of doing it. But I like using this method. Use a container I like using a 2 liter bottle and cut the bottom off the bottle. Then holding bottle upside down put in medium size stones bigger than the opening of the bottle so nothing falls out. then as u go up in layers find smaller pebbles then sediment and sand if u can find it, and moss on top. U can actually make alternating layers between sand dirt and moss and small pebbles. And if u can, use charcoal in between those layers. U can get charcoal from a fire u made. Preferably hardwood if u can find it but anything is better than nothing. My way is by no means the best way but it will be better than nothing. And remember the bigger the container and the more layers, the better ur water will be filtered. But I would still boil after if u can. If u can’t this is definitely better than nothing. Pro tip. The charcoal makes the water taste a lot better. What I mean is, it tastes like normal water. Without it u might taste the earth. Hope that helps.

What about a sand pool filter 🤔

Yep

Wow! That community was definitely prepared... I've never heard of a community backup power plant in FL. How much water did you have on hand?

Curious, could you not dig your own ground well?

@@HaggisMuncher-69-420 in Florida?

@@victorialove9104 I dunno, it's a question. I'm not from Florida so have never had the opportunity to dig a well there.

I learned from emergency personnel that go into disaster areas: after going hungry for a week, a person can smell even scented candles up to a mile.

@@ces5843 😂

Works well, as long as the candles last. Might be a reason to consider bee keeping as part of your long term survival preps, if you can.

Which pump do you recommend?

I’ve also been looking for one that can pump 100 feet. Today I’m installing a through the wall generator kit that can run my well and furnace or freezer.

Hand pumps are only good to around 35ft.

@@robertcarmosino6563 ☹️

@@juneweimar1064 look up buffalo pumps. best you can get.

Agreed. Recently spent some time looking into this and realised that different approaches do very different things. I have an excellent mini UVC lamp, that is small, powerful and will even brown a banana skin. Im figuring out how to use filtration and then put the water in a steel bottle where I can give it a does of UVC. You know your stuff, I only recently caught up with this stuff.

@@TheWtfnonamez what is your UVC lamp? I just read a lot of reviewers saying that their Katadyn Steripen failed after just a few uses

@@jakestevens7283 I have two. A 12inch strip lamp tube, which I think is for a terrarium or for fish tank cleaning or something. And also a little USB charged one. I will have to figure out how to modify these for use on some kind of steel container. I have never used a branded UVC sterilization method. Its worth noting that most of the "UV" lamps on amazon are fake. You need to look for one with a proper bulb of some sort. 99% of the LED lamps are just normal blue LEDs, NOT UV at all. AvE does some excellent videos about them and the Banana Test. Basically if your UV light will turn a green banana skin to brown... then basically its the real deal.

I think that distilled water is the best filter there is. It is a purifier. You cannot get any better.

@@TheWtfnonamez I found AvE, I searched a little bit but didn't see his UVC video, I thought maybe he was a SHTF channel. I'll find it soon enough, thanks for recommendation! Wow that is absolutely pathetic that 99% of them are total shams!!

Is boiling it good enough ya think?

I'm glad you put "clean lake" in inverted commas. IMHO there's no such thing.

I'd just go outside and water the garden, you know, with my pee. Put a bag in the toilet, let 'er loose, and put the bag in your garbage collection for a temporary water shortage.

@@robertgaines-tulsa In the short term I reckon that is sound advice. For the record during the pandemic I stopped recycling bags for hygiene reasons. I bought sacks of 100x small poly bags from Amazon. Great investment. They cost practically nothing and following your advice, absolute win. Thank you

You don't need to flush after every pee just pour some bleach / Loo blu in and you don't need to flush ....only flush when you have a dump . You save a ton of money as well because your water bills will be cut in half

Get a 5 gallon bucket and some sand, kitty litter, or sawdust to cover up. Shouldn't smell if you just cover the logs. Heck, if it's scoopable kitty litter, just scoop out the stuff every couple of days and reuse. Get a pool noodle for the rim of the bucket so it doesn't hurt to sit on it.

I've been using a cross cut shredder and I shred newspaper, ads, & cardboard packaging. I use the shreds in compost & gardening and am keeping several bags of shreds around for #2 compoo buckets.

Jesus said this... Luke 12:25-26 25 And which of you by worrying can add a day to his life’s span? 26 Therefore if you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about the other things?

Romans 10:9-11 9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be put to shame.” Pass by at your own peril....

Thanks that's a great idea! I appreciate it! Stay safe my friend!!!

Yeah, that water that is at that hystatic line also has ground seepage. That means there is permeation from the surface level, which is a great way to be exposed to nitrates, coliform bacteria and e.coli. I'm in the water business. I can tell you 100% that shallow water can have a lot of crap in it especially in ag areas.

My aunt, whose job it was, always let the rain wash the roof off before she switched down spout directed rainwater into our underground cistern. It was scary twice a year to go down into the cistern and wash it's walls down with bleach.

🙄🤦‍♀️

Right on, that's awesome. There is an argument that RO removes too many beneficial minerals but I suppose you could add those in after the fact

@@noahnixon1327 Yes, RO water is nutrient deficient, but a simple daily multivitamin will fix that.

Good salt.

@@noahnixon1327 Filter it through gravel and charcoal to fix that.

Wow! Thanks for sharing. Was this in TX by any chance? I heard about an ice storm there. May I ask how you typically store the water after you collect it? If it’s just sitting in the sun, won’t it go bad after awhile?

@@cyrusjulian187 Our water barrels are on the NE side of the house, so they only get sun in the early morning. I don't know how water can go bad. I plan to filter it through my sand filter, then through my Berkey filter, then solarize it after that, if necessary. I can't imagine any amount of sitting there making it so bad that I can't filter it for drinking and cooking. I'm in Louisiana, so yes, it was the same storm that got Texas. We had several gallons of clean drinking water stored in the house which didn't freeze, but for doing dishes, my sons and husband had to gather snow and melt it in our big crawfish boil pot on the propane burner outside. We had collected snow and ice in 5 gallon buckets and put them in the kitchen in the hopes that overnight it would thaw, but the house was so cold inside that it was still frozen the next day. We were only warm around the fireplace, and all the people wanted a spot next to the fire, so there wasn't any room for the buckets there. In the future, I'll make sure to have plenty of paper plates and plastic utensils so we won't need to do as many dishes, but we had to use pots to cook. Those had to be washed so we could use them again.

I just noticed on the side of my Sawyer water filter it has a warning for cancer and birth defects 😮

I read that distilled water removes the "bad" minerals and leaves the good...been drinking only distilled water for a few years and no more throat irritations and such that I used to get with most tap waters.

You can think whatever you want. I do not think it was the removal of ''bad minerals.'' The distilled water was sterilized by boiling in the distillation process and killed the bacteria that was causing your sore throat problem.

True distilled water should not be for drinking...see the label. It causes hemolysis of your red blood cells...destroys them. Look it up.

@@mommaknowsit1632 this is what the elites want you to think...go ahead, instead drink their Chlorinated and Fluoridated water instead for heath!

Water that comes from dehumidifiers is considered gray water if not chemically filtered can make you sick or even kill you. Do your research on this because the Canadian Prepper did not.

@@c-vanspartan1904 thanks! I plan on filtering and purifying all water if the time comes, even my stored water.

actually, CP did a very poor research on various topics posted in this video. Like for example SODIS doesn't work with glass bottles as glass filters out UV light...

Hi! I am going to use this method but am afraid of the toxicity accumulating. Do you know the risks? I do have a well I can use. In this case, would I still need to filter it?

@@jennyhong6746 Jenny, multiple methods are discussed in the video. So I do not know to which method you refer. As for toxicity, chemical disinfectants are available for human consumption. In the US, proof of safety is to adhere to National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) Standard 61 and obtain certification (certified products are marked with the certification on the label). Well water is assumed to not need filtration until proven otherwise. The test for “proof” is an E. coli analysis by a lab.

Sometimes they clog up or freeze in cold weather and become useless. Have to maintain them and let them dry out and keep them in a dry warm place

Are all manual well pumps the same?

I envy you. I’ve actually been searching for properties specifically with a well as it can cost over $20k to dig/install one

@@cyrusjulian187 that’s wild. I have a well but they are trying to switch everyone over to city water, now:/
