Great video. Cleaning water through filtration should be a curriculum requirement in all schools. There's nothing more important to human beings than water.

"you don't know how thirsty I get" "well after last night I do.." FLAGGED

Please make more videos with this guy! Love the way you guys work off each other, and how he tries not to laugh. Great chemistry

Man your videos are so down to earth and easy to watch. Keep it up man. God bless.

Bob's the man! He really seems like he knows his stuff and is passionate about what he does.

As always, I learned a lot of good info about stuff I know nothing about. Thanks for the awesome videos John.

I love the addition of this info on your channel. Ive been in several hurricanes, but after hurricane Harvey here in Houston, my outlook on survival has drastically changed.

Keep ‘em coming! Excellent video. Bring Bob back and keep the prep videos a priority. I love how you cut the crap and tell us what to buy.

Once again John, thank you for the 360 training, mind body & soul. May God continue to bless you and your family brother.

Ok got it Bob Grisswald Ready Made Reources... Good stuff!!!

Thanks John. I had this on my watch later Playlist and finally got a moment to watch this.

Been watching you for a while and just now happened across these videos. Had no idea I was right down the road from these guys. Love these videos like this on survival.

Love these videos with Bob, looking forward to more!

Dang sir you're banging out videos almost daily! I love it. Can you do one on maintaining good hair in a tactical situation? I noticed you always have a good sheen.

Sounds like the right guy to get you set up right. Tremendous value here.Great intel on the topic.

Thanks John! I've always loved your videos, and as a Houstonian your support is much appreciated! Can't wait to take your rifle class when you come to Eagle Lake in October.

Thanks for these videos! The last one with Bob was excellent too! Such good information. I will be buying from him when ready.

Awesome job again John, that answered a lot of questions for me..Very informative!!

From an alpine search & rescue point of view (23 yrs.) I have to agree with everything in this video. I use everything mentioned on a regular basis with the exception of the vehicle setup. Nice to see. Thank you!

Interesting tidbit about the sawyer mini filter, it's also the same thread as a standard garden hose. You could connect it to a rain water collection setup and use it to filter any nastiness.

Yes John please more preparedness videos! I own the lifestraw and Sawyer and love them both, would recommend the Sawyer for ease of use and versatility!

Embrace the misery. You taught me that. Much love from Houston

Thank you for covering ALL things warrior. Providing for the needs of your family / community during hard times definitely falls within the warrior job description!

"You don't know how thirsty I get" "After last night I do" Never change John 😂

Hey John, Great videos very informative. Great stuff to add to my survival kit for my aircraft. Light weight, very portable and easy to use. Nice to see the you explore these great people who provide us with valuable information and mentorship.. Like it!!!

You do a great service sir. Thank you.

Thanks for these video series!

Love the emergency preparedness side. Please keep it up. You also mentioned the ham radio stuff; I'm very interested in that myself. Please make more videos on comms.

Loving some Mr. Bob. Hoping for at least 1 more video with him. Knowing that you filmed this at least 2 months ago, just patiently waiting for the next vid.

outstanding vid. i enjoy when you visit this guy he realy knows his business and it gets a bit confusing out there with all the commercially made equipment. ty

I'm proud of us too, John!

Great informative vid John, thank you for putting this out. I have life straws but I think I will make the switch.

Do you think you could ever make a video on hypothetical squad tactics and formations. Love to see/ learn how that stuff works. Great Videos!

I'm glad to see you bring to light the emergency preparedness realities. I've never understood why more gun owners aren't more focused on it. Many situations are more likely for most people than those that would require firearms.

Great video John! Very informative.

That jerry can one is awesome. It would be perfect for overlanding. Thank you for the videos!

Good stuff. Seems as though there are a ton of options for H2O purification on the market so videos like this where you show what actually works is really helpful.

Best simple & to the point video! Thank you

Timely, John. We just did a refresh of our water supplies and methods on Saturday.

Thanks for the video brother!

Clearing rooms alone... LOL. Too funny, man. This is a big reason why I subscribed. Love the humor, while discussing serious topics. Plus you come across as an alright dude. Keep it up.

Great video, great information, great guys. Two thumbs up. We will be looking into Bobs store.

love the sawyer mini

I bought a Berkey system for my home from Ready Made Resources. Great customer service. I would definitely use them again.

Great info and hilarious. Love these videos.

I love the idea of having a dedicated container (s) for the vehicle in a bug out situation.

Great options, thanks for the video

Great video John, thanks man

This is great info, thank you both!! One other option for the mobile/outdoor is the MSR Guardian. It isn't small like the Sawyer but is comparable in size to the Katadyn Vario. It will filter down to the virus level. I think it's a .05 micron pore size vs. the .2 of the Vario. I own both and have used them on multi-day backpacking trips. Very pleased with both. The Guardian may be a bit overkill for the high-mountain lakes and rivers/streams I was at but it's nice to know there's that extra level of protection that takes out viruses. Another drawback is that the Guardian is pretty spendy. Thanks again for bringing us this info John, strong work!!!

This is good info! Thanks for sharing.

John you make amazing videos! Thanks again for the awesome education and keeping things so "average joe" easy to understand! I'm definitely gonna be spending a great deal of money on Bob's website as I have already started my "edc/trunk" backpack. Thanks again!

Hi John/Bob, nice video! Keep 'em coming! I wanted to point out an issue with water filters about which I've only recently become aware. The porous filter elements in most water filters work by having pores smaller than the smallest bacteria and parasites like giardia (but not the smaller viruses as Bob points out, which chemical treatment and boiling will do). The problem is that water remaining in the filter element after use can freeze and the expansion cracks the filter, rendering them useless and you would never know. This has shaken my confidence in filters somewhat, especially if on a hike and it freezes every night of your trip (we live in Alaska). I don't know how well you can (or if you can) remove enough water from the filter after use to make this a non-issue, but maybe Bob has knowledge of this and can elaborate. I need to do some more research on this. I have an old PUR water filter that had a porous filter with an iodine matrix and a charcoal filter as a last stage that was great. The iodine matrix killed viruses and the charcoal removed the taste. However, after Katadyn bought PUR, they no longer offered the filters. The replacement filters now lack the iodine matrix and virus protection. I've been looking to upgrade, but need to learn more about the freezing issue.

Great video, thanks.

love the video john!

Keep doing emergency preparedness videos!

We need some more BOB videos bro!

Of course this is WPS material! Thanks for sharing man!

Love the prepper videos

We love our Berkey 6-gallon unit!

Went to Bob's store yesterday.....wow. What a candy store for the prepper! Hard to find, but what a little gem of a place. Ended up with a very unexpected purchase of two 2-meter band radios for me and the wife. Looking forward to getting our licenses and learning how to use them. Bob is really helpful......maybe too helpful. lol.

Love these reviews. With respect to the Berkley system, I did a video a couple of years ago on building a DIY Berkley filter. It can save someone hundreds of dollars, and since you use the Berkley filter candles it has the same filtering capabilities.

We have the Royal Berkey and LOVE IT. We also have the small Berkey water bottles too. :) GOOD stuff.

I think this is all part of what we are about.....the folks I see commenting and following The Warrior Poet Society. I could be wrong. But, thanks man. This actually answered a bunch of questions I've had about some things. You and ole Bob shared a couple of long gazes into each other's eyes a few times......I think y'all are hitting it of. Hahaha

thank You so much for your videos Sir!!!!!!!!!

failure to have a plan means you plan to fail. I definitely watch all of your survival tip videos because it's not just you talking John. you do the right thing and seek out the the people that live the mantra and are actually credible in the industry. keep em coming poet

Wow... I learned a lot. 👍

I've had my big Berkey for over 20 years. Still going great.

I showed up on this channel for an aimpoint review... Caught some great stuff with religion... Stayed for the prepping videos :-)

John great video thank you

Awesome stuff 👍🏻👍🏻

Hey Bob when are you opening a shop in England? Thanks for the knowledge mate.

100k gal is an impressive number. I’ll be snagging some of those. Solid vid!

Love it , Lovell

thank you

Great info loved it

John, one option I didn't hear you mention is the Sawyer squeeze filter. It's the minis Big Brother and it can serve much more readily two or three people and it comes with multiple squeeze bags and adapters. It has the same 100,000 gallon capacity and ability to be back flushed and if I remember right I got mine for $36. It's just a little bigger more hearty and easily usable for a larger Camp situation

Great video man. You neen to keep the machine (your body) running right in order to stay in the game.

Ha! The comedy! You're a natural. 😄

I recently bought a Sawyer for my EDC bag and an Alexapure Pro for the house. I recommend Alexapure Pro over a Berkey because they're cheaper and use way better filters.

I spent $100 on the Katadyn Vario a couple years ago. I wish I knew about the Sawyer Mini. They're absolutely perfect. Get yourself the 2 pack for $40 and you won't regret it. They work perfectly with the large Smart Water bottles if you need to filter a lot of water, like filling up the 5 gallon Gatorade coolers.

Nice stuff I have purchased from ready made resources good company

I'm proud of us too.

great video good tips and i will be buying soon thanks alot..

great video

I have the sawyer squeeze. It filters a million gallons. You can also set the squeeze and the mini up as a gravity filter to filter a lot of water at once.

Great video!

Great information

All your videos are great, but please do more like this! It IS a part of defense - arguably at the core of one's self-defense, and the defense of his/her family.

No Sir,,, Youre doing GREAT!!!!! PLEASE KEEP IT UP@

Love to see y’all carry a round water canteen with cup that fits into the bottle that you can cook with in your warrior poet shop!! I can’t find a good quality one

great video I bought the alexapure because it only uses one filter instead of 2 and does the same thing

I have the sawyer filter. It works really well.

Love these videos🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I've hiked over 4500 miles on America's National Scenic Trails. The only times I've seen someone get sick from water that was not properly treated was when those people used UV light to purify. Boiling is obviously the best way to purify water but it takes time and resources to do that as well as wait for the water to cool before consuming. When it comes to purifying water quickly, filtering and chemical treratment (aqua mira) is the best. Just one hikers opinion. Great Video!

Lots of great info! I'm stuck in Puerto Rico for the near foreseeable future and would greatly appreciate recommendations for desalination. Are there efficient kits to make it worth while or am I better off sticking to fresh water source purification?

Coincidentally their was a ad for a garden hose water filter for the plants

love video's like this

John, living in California are churches huge on emergency preparedness... we actually have Team coaches that meet a couple of times a year with the families to make sure we have all the supplies we need on hand at our individual homes... aside from all the orchards my wife and I have we have multiple food containers that will feed multiple families for over a year... we have a 50 gallon water drum, Plus five five gallon containers of water... We have games for the kids candles flashlights first aid Etc...

Compressed towels (coin size) make great pre-filters for any one of these sources. A million and one uses, this one being relevant to the task of water filtration. Available on amazon

Need it!
