I enjoyed this well thought out video. I bought Michael Reynolds’s book way back in 1990. I have been living off grid for 4 years now. I agreed with everything except for the berkey. I used one for years until I tested the water with a ppm meter. I was getting a higher contaminate reading after filtering! Long story short I use a zero pure filter now. Watch Project Farm’s KZfaq video where he tests water purification systems.

Yes. Very good overview of the options. And I appreciate the resources you have shared for finding more information. Right now I live in an apartment, so establishing an off-grid water system is not an option. BUT, I can start thinking of ways to reduce my water consumption (for example, using my dishwater to flush the toilet and start doing more sponge baths), as well as finding a way to collect rain-water for my houseplants, even if it is only for a few months.

Great video. Urine is not sterile. If it were, we wouldn't be handing a urine sample to the nurse for labs to determine whether or not we have bacterial and viral infections. It can still be used for lots of things, but no, it is not sterile. When I had to haul water from a well into my Alaskan cabin with two toddlers, water usage became a significant life skill. We used the three dish tub method for washing dishes, the first with hot water (about 2-3" full), the others with an inch or so of room temp rinse water. I bathed the kids every 3-4 days in a washtub. I used about 1 gallon of water for myself once or twice a week, first dipping my head into a deep pail of water and washing it with a touch of natural shampoo. I used a cup to rinse out into a dish tub. When mostly rinsed, I washed my body with the barely soapy rinse water, then dipped my head into the remaining clean water for a final hair rinse and poured the remaining water over myself to clean myself off completely. 1 gallon or less did this with long hair. Another tip, though, is to cut your hair and you have less to wash. The rest of the week was a washcloth bath. Sometimes we just used a dry bath brush and then a very wet washcloth to wash off dirt and dead skin.

@@kayk8389 Says you. LOL I felt totally alive and glad I knew how to live without conveniences so we didn't smell like modern people who don't know how to take care of themselves without push-button everything. Sometimes you don't have the buttons to push and you still want to be clean and well fed and happy. So you turn into a human being and learn to live well in your circumstances instead of being a whiny lump of useless.

Collecting rainwater is the best and easiest for city people like me.Its actually better than the city water.
@zaizen43599 ай бұрын
I may be misinformed, but would you kindly explain to me how rainwater is better when they apparently spray the air full of minerals/chemicals that are bad for human health (aluminum, etc) which rain water passes through?

Why does she need to talk so fast???? Sounds like a robot going fast forward. I would love to listen to her videos if it wasn’t it talks way to fast! 😢

You can set the playback speed to .75, may help. I generally watch videos at 1.5 speed because they are too slow, but this one was the perfect speed for me 🙂
