So childish. So sad.

On that red 40 diet i see.

@@RemingtinArms beat me to it lol

Damn it, I was going to say when I’m thirsty all I can think of is mtn dew 😂 I never had tap water problems. Dews plants are great on water.

@@RemingtinArmsI know much better to just drink original.

Everyone and everything will be dead if it is this hard to get drinkable water.

@@Bigbossman12624 There are still countries in Africa without accesible potable water and people manage. Its the people that don't know how to manage that perish. That's why this channel is so relevant.

@@RunningWithSauce we aren’t Africa. We don’t need clean water. I have very complex biological and chemical water filters I bought for less than 100 dollars at REI. let’s examine why Africa doesn’t have and has never had water. Could it be the functionally mentally disabled and incredibly lazy population? Could it be low standards and encouraged corruption by the general population? Could it be that the areas without water are also in the sand blasted desert? Could it be that whenever aid is given the only result is more children and more corrupt politicians? What about the general populace being weak (very easy to subjugate)and the worst war fighters to ever live?

@@RunningWithSauce YT keeps deleting any and all comments to my reply is summed up this way. We are not Africa. I am not an African.

⁠@@Bigbossman12624 Projections are 90% will not make it, the irony is you can literally learn how to procure drinking water in a couple of hours on KZfaq. You can get filters and alternative water boiling options from Walmart or Amazon shipped directly to your home. You can get drinking water delivered straight to your door monthly or alternatively you can bottle your city water “assuming it’s currently safe”. Rain water catchment, private well, pool or pond on your property or local fresh water source, all to test your KZfaq water procurement knowledge… In a weekend anyone could move themselves from the 90% 🚱💀 to the 10% 🚰😁👍 Note: If you have zero experience I would use a water testing kit to determine how successful you are, taste test are unreliable because safe water doesn’t necessarily taste good and good tasting water doesn’t mean it’s safe. The process is what makes it safe, depending on the source it’s a whole different process to make it taste good 👍

Do it and tell us if you were successful, please

He was successful I can attest. My water was a bit salty.

@@mattjones2597 Hey, urine is sterile. For all we know he improved the quality.

@@darrenstettner5381 No doubt about this. GFs dad was a Water Dept cop after getting out of PPD in the late 90s and said regularly he would find people in the treatment areas, and other places they absolutely shouldn't have been. While security is better than the 90s, it's still not good. Even remotely close to as secure as something as critical as water (or power) should be. Just hanging out along a local river, and hiking around the trails of multiple places that should be hardened seeing unlocked locks, loose fence and countless other vulnerabilities is terrifying. I'm well aware I'm not the only one who has seen these infrastructure issues. Talking with a guy in grid infrastructure he said he's came across numerous unlocked gates, areas where things looked overtly disturbed (all reported) and other sketchy things. He wasn't a preparedness minder person prior to working in power grids. After knowing how fragile things are and seeing how upside down security is on major location's, he said he'll never not have supplies on hand. To quote him and 2 other people working in these places. "We WILL get caught slacking on security and it's not an if but when" and another guy said "Things are way more fragile and vulnerable than the public is aware of. I (him) is shocked we haven't seen anything major yet. The small events seem to be test runs". All those guys work around other utilities people who said water, power, gas, and sewage is all falling apart and vulnerable to even a a myriad of attack vectors.

Same as our water supply. It's open to every man and his dog, even have a RAAF base with commercial airlines that fly over it everyday. All it would take is for one of them to crash into it and we then have tainted water.

Ditto. Very well done.

Agreed. Knowledgeable, easy to understand and even through he's showing Cana products, that wasn't all it was. Sure he was going to promote his products, as he should. He also gave other options that they don't sell. I'll definitely be checking out their stuff for upgrades to my water plan. I think water is one of the harder things to dial in for most of us. I know it was for me, and still is.

Yeah ridiculous right? 🤣😂 going to carry all that water on the run when SHTF, EMP attack might come along and you just going to muscle up all those water buckets with you. Best bet is to learn a hand on manually filter your water or using lifestraw.

@@phl_knives I agree but looking at that setup in his garage, that takes a lot of maintenance and care, almost a part time job in of itself. I'm all for being self reliant but someone is not going to process 250-1000 GPD (gallons per day) easily. Some systems require a lot of dedication to getting the treatment process correctly. Lot's of trial and error. Treated water needs to be used rather quickly (several days) or it needs to be processed again. We take for granted our city water supplies but I suggest everyone take a tour of their city's treatment facility. Talk to the operators there and they'll tell you that volume and time is all calculated into the entire system process. To each their own, I don't go down shft rabbit holes anymore. I've spent too much money on stuff that is not going to be feasible in my situation. I'm not going to be bugging out with 800lbs of gear so I can treat an unknown water source. You have to take into consideration it will also take years to perfect the treatment process in an ideal environment.

Australia

I am getting an education in natural resource management and part of that includes going to aquifers/watersheds used by cities for their water supply. It was honestly a bit worrying how open and unguarded they were considering how many people rely on them. The water and the area around it is protected from pollution and sedimentation, but I didn’t see any security measures in place and most of the time it’s just a single gate on a gravel road keeping the general public out. The actual treatment facilities should be able to handle contamination but there really isn’t anything stopping someone from driving up to a major water source and dumping things into it or cutting it off from the collection areas. Just look at the guy who killed 18k salmon by dumping bleach into the water at a fishery.

cyber like cyber security?

Ah but can you cook minute rice in 58 seconds?

@@Katana_Gryphon I’m faster than that, 57.99 secs. I even put it as a bullet on my eval

Lens* brother. Lense isn't a word.

​@TCraig00 You didn't even bother to open a dictionary did you?

i was a damn cook... did me no good...i can prolly make a squirrell taste good tho

He mentions those later in the video. But yep, I keep one in my jeep and another in my day bag. Came in use just a few weeks ago. My uncle passed away, and he lived in Baltimore style row houses, so they use municipal locks on their outside water access. I couldn't find his key in his home, but I used mine to get it open. Saved me alot of hassle.

If you own the water key, you own your water 💪

I keep one in my everyday bag. I've had to use them pretty extensively at a job I've had in the past. Damn near every major municipal building has a water outlet somewhere.

Absolutely. I keep a silcox key and an access panel key in my EDC bag. Along with a Nalgene and Nalgenes in my vehicles. Water is life. Why not have options.

​@@ZamotakDefinitely. I keep one for water and one for access panel keys in my EDC bag. Working training sites and everyone needing water, I realized we needed options to turn on these bibs without hunting down the person with a key. This saved us time and when it's hot like it is in the NE corridor right now. Water is life or death if you are too far from medical. Even having trained providers or being one. You can only pack in some many IVs and they only last so long. Access to a bib and having ORS makes a world of difference. Not just municipal buildings in my experience but hotels, grocery stores, Home Depot, and any commercial building I've checked to make sure I'm not forgetting a key for my EDC. DEFINITELY a worthwhile investment to have

I don't have much experience with solar pumps but if you have a well you can get water out of it with a suction line without having a manual pump just a PVC pipe and a well with a check valve or foot valve play moving the pipe vertical up and down can supply you water

My well is 60 ft deep but the Water level is only 8 ft down. A standard picher pump works great without a foot valve

A good rule is to have 3 redundant ways to pull water from your well. The powered way, with the pump that's already in it with a generator for short term problems, a solar pump you can simply run a line into the well-head and pull water into containers for longer term and a manual pitcher pump in case the first 2 fail or there's not enough sunlight to run the second option.

And food to

My old neighbor says there's hormones in the water

Thats just the Monsanto

@@dieselfrk13he’s probably right 😂

My water municipality has atrazine and PFAS in it. Luckily I’ve been using ZeroWater water filters, which filter it and PFAS out, for decades. I’m 57 and don’t rely on any prescription drugs. Clean water is key.

And the people

Add bees and you have some of the best preps on the planet.

Plants crave it

Cuz Brawndo has ELECTROLYTES!!!

Absolutely! Maybe a good segue into a DC video on personal health. If you don't have proper electrolyte levels in your body you inhibit movement of water and minerals between your cells. Super important!

It’s difficult to say it’s “more” critical than water, I’d say it’s equally critical

Salt is relatively easy to come across, it doesn’t expire, it’s commonly available, probably the easiest thing to loot in a SHTF situation, I’d say you don’t really have to bother stocking up on it coz it’s so abundant

Yep a 10,000 gallon pool would be a HUGE asset to have. I’ve seen a long succession dogs drink that pool water everyday for 12-14 years and while it doesn’t kill them obviously at some point you might want to figure out a way to remove the chlorine that’s NOT boiling and distilling water one pot at a time although that could work in a pinch short term. The rest is just have any normal filter like a sawyer but mean to process gallons at a time.

Most people overlook the swimming pool as an amazing water storage method

@@MB-jg4tr They are great as long as you can defend them and plan on "bugging in". Pools are very difficult to move haha

@@backcountryxpeditions655 well yeah lol. Bugging in is usually the best option, unless you're absolutely forced to flee. Once you bug out you're basically a refuge.

That’s awesome.

Your comment warms my little waterboy heart

@@waterboy239 haha thats awesome

You might just find someone, or some people, bathing in there or fighting over that resource.

Large groups of people will come for your resources when theirs runs out.

Not everyone thinks they are prey.

​@@skydivingcomrade1648 Everyone can get overwhelmed against a committed coordinated attack. Why be a high viz target?

@@DanielAngelLuna absolutely

Most people would think he is just a gardener/farmer and that the water is uses to grow his crop. Just about every small farm in my area has several totes to water their gardens or animals.

​@@paladin556 Even more reason to be worried, cause then the undesirables are thinking, "Ooo, water and food!"

Besides storing water bottles and jugs what else can we do? I’m in phoenix too

Get a medium sized above ground pool, chlorine keeps the water from going bad. Then have some water filters to drink it.

@austinallen7081 Store wet wipes for field showers to help preserve your water. It's not comfortable but when it's the real deal water is gold. Have the tools / equipment on hand to make an out house. You'll save a ton of grey water by having a little tent outside as a makeshift outhouse by not using the toilet. Of course that would be for the real long term emergency. I try to estimate as best I can just what my water consumption would be if a grid down black swan event went down as well as how long a single bar of soap with shower water would last. No fuel to drive which means walking or a bike. No ac which means a lot more sweating and I'm an arizona guy myself. Physical activities will be on the high end. Discipline, a good shade hat and keep your body covered, and electrolytes. Hopefully that helps 👍

It's what plans crave.

I like money

Glad it was helpful!

Much appreciated!
