    I found this water filter called a Miniwell and it is soo amazing I thought I should show you guys. It filters out 99% of all water born diseases/parasites and you can attatch it to anything. Like a hose, water bottle or tube. You can even just use it like a straw. It's so cool I tried the Life Straw but it does not filter like this one. I literally bring it wherever I go now. What do you guys think?

    I like the Sawyer too. I have a couple the minis and a larger one set up with a 5 gallon gravity system. I keep one in my boat and the other one in my always carry truck bug out kit. This actually looks a lot like the Sawyer. Water is a must so I have a lot of directions to go. I also have 3 different types of survival straws. They are ok but have very limited life expectancy. I carry one in my fishing kit.

    we used to use all sort of this type of stuff on canoe trips . chemicals, filters, ultraviolet, ect. the trouble was the following.
    1) chemicals you could only use for two weeks maximum .
    2) filters blocked up with debri very quickly and then were very slow, one minute for a cup of water.
    3) ultra violet killed the germs but did not remove and debri . I personally like to boil a gallon of water every morning and then people can use it to make tea, coffee, oatmeal , or just let it cool and put it in your water bottle , maybe even add kool aid or gatorade to it.

    I wonder just how dangerous just drinking the water is to people in the long run. I imagine at first most people would experience some disorders but after you adapt to many of them that problem would subside. If drinking unpurified water is so deadly how do all the animals survive? Hogs especially have digestive systems very similar of people and here in Texas they are flourishing and surviving in huge numbers without purified water. They are big healthy suckers too so it isn't like they are struggling.

    I know that the dogs and cats all seem to prefer pond, puddle or ditch water over their water bowls filled with "safe" tap water. I used to bathe and swim in a pond every day during the summer. Let's be real when you are getting the water in your nose and mouth while swimming you might as well drink the water. I was never sick. I would come home and rinse off in my outdoors shower and that was my daily ritual.

    I watch my dogs and cat and notice that they eat certain grasses every chance they get. I wonder if they are getting some sort of protection from parasitic problems from these weeds and grasses. I know that they seem to eat it and then a little later throw it back up.

    I think that over time people will get tougher as far as the low grade bacterial infections. I think that I an already sort of that way because of my regular exposure to dirt and water that isn't from a tap or bottle. What you have to understand about water is that what you can probably drink and what you should NEVER drink has a lot to do with how many people have come into contact with that water before you.

    Rivers, streams and ditches are going to be possibly contaminated by typhoid and cholera pretty fast. A pond that is isolated is probably going to be safer. a fresh puddle after a rain is almost certainly fairly safe after you develop a little bit of resistance to the dirt born bacteria.

    Something that people don't talk about now days that our fairly recent ancestors knew all about was how to deal with intestinal parasites. Tobacco ortant thing and a good treatment for all sorts of things. Mineral oil used to be used as well. It might pay us to explore some of the old ways. Eventually you are going to run out of bleach, your filters will wear out, you will use your last pill and then like it or not you are going to have to drink the water. The more you boil the better but that just isn't a total answer unless you bathe in boiled water, wash your dishes in boiled water and maybe even wash your clothes in boiled water.

    I have probably drank more untreated water than treated in the last 30 years. I had a shallow water well. I also regularly drank out of a cistern filled with untreated rainwater or even water from an old school open well. I spend a lot of time fishing and swimming in lakes, rivers and ponds.

    Just something to think about...

    Being in the Military and traveling around the globe...particularly in my younger years...I noticed that for about a week when going to a new place...I would have an upset stomach. Sometimes it was a pretty rough week. But after that it would settle out.

    I am thinking all of that was an adjustment to the new area and in particular to the new water exposure as my system adapted.

    I notice this during the two months I was RAF Mildenhall England from here at Langley Air Force Base here in Virginia.

    I have also noticed it when traveling about this country.....not as extreme but it is there.

    Just some food for thought.


    Thanks,

    Each area has its own bacteria that may be NEARLY identical to the ones elsewhere but not exactly. When you go there at first your body has inferior resistance to the unfamiliar bugs and then adapts. Montezuma's revenge is common and not just in Mexico.

    Nowadays people are so clean that they barely have resistance to the germs that are native to where they live. I've seem kids from homes where things were kept so clean and sterile that when the kids go to school they spend the first several years sick. I worked for a woman that pulled out ALL of her appliances weekly so she could clean and mop the floors under them. She lived with a bottle of antibacterial cleaner in her hands and any time she saw her kids touch anything she was washing their hands with it. They nearly died when they went to school.

    When we first move here and my wife went to work in the prisons it was a little tough. Prisons bring the germs from all over the place and then are stuffed together in close confined quarters to spread and breed. We had a cold almost constantly that first year as new Rhinoviruses were brought here then home to me. When you have 3000 men locked up in an unairconditioned prison in tight close and crowded conditions the flu can become a MONSTER. If it gets to spreading all they can do is lock it down and let it run its course in that block.

    I believe that we need some germs to keep our immune system up and running. as texmanm pointed out it is not good to live in a germ free environment.

    I think this is a good point. After all, humans used to drink unfiltered water.

    I think the answer lies in the fact that we've lost immunity because people were so scared of diseases, bacteria, and other things. So, they filtered things. And as a result, we don't have the immunity anymore.

    Like Chris, I usually find that water in an area that is new to me can effect me adversely for a very brief time and then I get used to the new mix of bacteria. The problems stem from the fact that there are some bacteria that can make you really sick.
    In answer to the point that "humans used to drink unfiltered water"...they still do. In third world countries people drink unfiltered water and die in their thousands. This is exacerbated by endemic disease, high population density and poor sanitation.
    It may well be that if you live in a low population density area close to the source, you're reasonably sensible and other people in the area are considerate of drinking water quality for those downstream you would only get sick for a little while(you may not even notice) before learning to tolerate the organisms in your drinking water but my advice is to filter or boil water that you intend to drink, just in case.

    One of the things that I suspect will be hardest for a lot of people to adjust to and get over is the idea that there is no such thing as acceptable risk. Now days, at least in the US, no amount of risk is allowed. This is in part because if you know that there is a risk and do it anyway if someone is harmed you are sued for negligence and will be in trouble. That is why everything that you buy has a book with iot with warnings about any and all possible ways that you could misuse and be harmed by their product. I mean REALLY do they need to warn people that buy a clothes iron not to iron their clothes while wearing them. They do if they want to avoid being sued.

    Schools don't allow kids to have recess anymore and go out to play because if one gets hurt they get sued. If someone came up with a drug that cured cancer but if one person in a million would die from an allergic reaction to it they would probably never get the FDA to pass on it and allow it to be used.

    This legal problem has led to people thinking that a lot of things that are not really all that dangerous are deadly because one person may have died while using it and even if there is no real connection to that item they must disclose that someone died while they were using it. Water that isn't treated is no necessarily dangerous. One of the things that is funny is the idea that bottled water is safer than regular water. Most bottle spring water comes right out of the ground and into the bottles with no treatment at all. The standards for public tap water is a lot higher than that for bottled water.

    Where I live lots of people get their water from shallow private wells and there is no filtering or treatment to it whatsoever. This leads to all sorts of water and people drink it with no problems. We have sulfur, lime, coal and natural gas in a lot of the water here. The sulfer water smells like rotten eggs! The lime makes a white scale on everything and blocks the screens in the faucets. The coal turns things black and also plugs filters. My favorite and it is common in parts of the county is the natural gas. You can turn on a water faucet and then set fire to the water. SERIOUSLY, it burns with a pretty blue flame. All of this is nonetheless considered good for drinking. I drank and lived on a well for most of my adult life.

    When you go someplace there is a period of adaptation. There are just a lot of different bacteria and minerals in water that once you are used to is no problem but at first may upset your system. As I've often said, if you regularly drink a little from fresh clean puddles you won't have as much trouble adapting if you ever have to. I little good clean dirt may actually be good for you. Life will be a lot dirtier after tap water is only a memory. I worked the fields when I was young and not adverse to being dirty and sweat isn't something that I am bothered by.

    A lot of people now days act like there is something awful about being hot and sweating. When they start sweating buckets they will get a lot less interested in treating every drop of water they drink.

    "Worldwide, approximately 140 million people develop dysentery each year, and about 600,000 die." https://www.geni.com/projects/People-who-died-from-Dysentery/28045

    There are things to which one cannot adapt.

    A dog's stomach is FAR (10x) more acid than that of a human.
    http://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=1288

    The fermentation going on in the guts of ruminants, i.e. cattle types of critters, increases the acidity therein. The acidity provides protection, but not absolute protection.

    If a non-civilized people adapt to the local water supply and the mothers breastfeed their babies (passive immunity; antibody transfer), then they have significant protection to this water supply. Outsiders drinking the same water will develop dysentery. When powdered baby formula was distributed to poor nations, hundreds of thousands of babies died, because the mothers mixed local water supplies into the formula.

    Most people from developed nations, drinking purified water most of their lives, will need to purify their water or experience varying degrees of gastrointestinal upset on into overt dysentery.

    Keep in mind also that in primitive times, people just didn't live as long as they did in this day and age. Those who did were biologically ROBUST. They were tougher than leather and they had guts ... if you know what I mean.

    My people "up in the mountains" lived long lives. Note that they drank water coming straight out the side of the mountain, out of the cracked rocks -- zero exposure to dirt. Their diets included salt preserved foods and they boiled their vegetables (throwing in slices of salt-cured fatback). I eat salty food and do not have high blood pressure (only certain med.s give my hypertension).

    Those most at risk are infants and elderly, those suffering from radiation sickness or malnutrition which weaken their immune system. The rest of us can suffer horribly in the short term but we usually get past it unless we contract one of the really nasty bugs. If you do end up getting sick it can make you even more dehydrated. Where I've lived over the years it has always been too densely populated or intensively farmed for the streams to be pure enough to drink from (other than at source)
    I've never seen the point in taking chances. My entire survival ethos is about managing risk.

    I've always drank straight from the streams on Dartmoor, but in an area where its intensively farmed especially arable crops where they use a lot of chemicals, fertilisers and pesticides one would just be asking for trouble.

    A few years back I was checking out a cave system at a place called Loggerheads in N. Wales where there is a picture perfect fresh water spring.
    30 yrds downstream was a dead sheep layed rotting in the water....a recipe for botulism if ever there was one. An image like that in your mind can shape your attitudes.

    The principle of a fire piston is pretty cool and I would like to mess around with one however you can live without one but yes, potable water is an absolute need.

    I've made a couple and bought one fire piston and they work pretty well IF you have some grease to make the seals slide well and seal totally. Without that they degrade to useless pretty fast in my admittedly small number of samples. You also need something that is very dry and flammable for it to work effectively. Charcloth works real well but that is a circuitous problem because you need fire to make it and without it finding or making something that will work well can be interesting to say the least in the woods.

    The question of "What is the most important thing to have in a survival situation" needs to be zeroed in on a specific situation. You can go for 21 days without food so it is not an urgent need. Water you only last about three days without so it is pretty urgent. If it is cold you won't last three hours if you don't have some way to get warmer be it fire, clothing or a blanket. If you are in the water you have about three minutes under it before you drown so a flotation device can be am IMMEDIATE need.

    Where I live water is pretty easy to find and methods to make it relatively safe to drink are pretty easy to make. We don't have cold weather like many of you do in the more northern areas so keeping from dying from exposure is pretty easy. If you know what is available and are willing to eat things that are not your normal fare, food is a simple to fix problem. I am about as likely to drown as a killer whale and can sleep in the water even without a life preserver. By living in a very gentle and mostly hospitable environment makes survival needs mostly a matter of comfort rather than life or death so for me a good medical kit might be near the top of the list of must haves. Accidents happen and if you don't take care of things infections can be killers.

    That's weird that the water could have been fresh further upstream from an animal corpse. Its... creepy.

    I would never drink directly from a small creek. There is just too much that can get you and you don't know what is upstream from you. Find a sand bar and back well away from the creak and dig a hole. The water will slowly fill it and that water is going to be a lot less likely to bite you in the butt. You can even do this at a beach to find drinkable water. Fresh water floats on top of salt water. back off the beach and dig a big hole down into the sand until you find wet sand. The hole will fill and if you have a straw or are very careful not to stir it up the water on the top will be fresh enough to drink.

    Where I was raised they built a saltwater dam that was about 6 or 7 feet underwater. This was to keep storm tides from running the salt water up into the creeks and killing the fish and making the water too salty for livestock to drink. It was a freshwater river probably nearly 40 miles from the coast but down deep it was salty and you could catch crabs there. Every Once in a while someone would catch a shark on a deep trotline. If you set your lines too deep the catfish would go down and bite but them die because they couldn't live in the salt water.

    not really, stands to reason, any contamination from the corpse would travel downstream not up.

    Here's a link to Sawyer water filters on Amazon:

    https://www.amazon.com/s?k=sawyer+w...=c&hvqmt=b&tag=mh0b-20&ref=pd_sl_6vpj4slf08_b

    Before using a filter, I'd like to first give the water a good boiling. Giardia cysts take forever to kill, but filters can trap the cysts. Filters can't catch all viruses. Silver coated ceramic filters can protect against a lot of viruses (I think the Katadyn is 2 micron); however, if I can boil the water first, I will. One can let water sit for a while to allow sedimentation. I'm a lucky fellow and can gather water from mountain streams. I keep in mind that the purest of water can contain Giardia. Kin up in the mountains got water out springs shooting out betwixt the rocks of rock faces -- that likely had no Giardia nor anything else; talk about an enormous water filter, mountains are rather large, don't'cha'know. Break off a 5 foot ice-cycle from a rock face at 4,000 feet; I reckon that that feller would be clean water when melted. My mind wanders.

    Colloidal silver making

    I found a fellow gone OCD about his colloidal silver making operation. I like his detail. I like this fellow. He even uses a TDS meter -- attention to detail, I like it! Uses a laser pointer also. He uses colored liquor bottles to store the end-product to reduce ambient ultraviolet light.



    TDS meters to measure ionic content of water.

    If you are going for making moonshine, you can do better than this stuff. Me, I'm surprised that you can buy this stuff. It's illegal to be crankin off moonshine, now isn't it?! Me, I got no use for unaged whiskey. I mean there are men who, by god, know how to age whiskey. You want high proof, you want years of aging, and you want selected best barrels. Now, that stuff I'll just pay for, because a feller in the know has got him a nose. God-given talent, that. I myself could never do what they can do, so I'll not try.

    lots of people in Africa die every year from drinking dirty water, it is said they have no other option without access to mains water but is that true, even a home made water filter of sand and gravel and boiling it before use would cut down on the amount of pollutants in the water.
    I think the masses will just drink whatever they can get hold of post SHTF and will pay the price for their ignorance, Cholera and Dysentry will be rife which should cut down the population numbers!

    Spot-on.

    "I think the masses will just drink whatever they can get hold of post SHTF ..."
    Yep, this or they will pull some half-effort and screw themselves and their families. The dark positive aspect of this is that the net IQ of survivors will go up.

    "... and will pay the price for their ignorance, Cholera and Dysentry will be rife ..."
    Man, oh man, will this ever be true! This is the real killer during SHTF events, dysentery.

    Going not too far back into history, malaria and dysentery killed more soldiers than bombs and bullets. During WWII, there was an outbreak of dysentery among my dad's company. They blamed this on the mess hall kitchen crew. In all likelihood, it WAS due to lack of sanitary conditions in their make-do kitchen.

    I have one of these in my garage and disconnected it years ago when doing some remodeling and never reinstalled it...

    Durastill 46C | Water Distiller Machine | H2O Labs

    This unit sits on top of a 10 gallon tank.

    It makes great water but you need to know how to pull maintenance on it...from time to time.

    Not difficult for me having worked in a shipyard and on shipboard distillation units.

    But you need to have some mechanical as well as electrical savvy as to how things work...

    I have put a one ounce Silver Canadian Maple Leaf in the collection tank wherein collects the distilled water. Doesn't hurt anything.

    These units are expensive and draw some current in running them but it makes great water and Ice cubes both.

    When I make coffee with this distilled water I have to cut back on the coffee or it comes out too strong..for my taste..

    "When I make coffee with this distilled water I have to cut back on the coffee or it comes out too strong..for my taste.." -- W.Chris

    I used to make strong coffee, then put instant coffee and chocolate mix into that. When ordering coffee, I have them put two or three espressos into it for some added flavor. And I like to drink barrel-proof whiskey. Now in that, I'll add a splash (just a tiny splash) of spring water to open-up some flavors. You do NOT want the alcohol and the heat to obscure the flavors. I want to be attacked by flavors.

    I like food and drink that sez, "Hello!" We grow Thai peppers, but I'll back-off on them if the amount used begins to affect the flavor of the food. I want the pepper flavor. I'm also a sucker for freshly-ground black peppercorn. And yes, I like my salmon blackened.

    Dang-it, my left ear just went-out on me. WOW, talk about turbo-tinnitus! Bells of St. Mary's got nothin on this. The wifer just doesn't understand how deafening this is for me; tries to talk to me from the next room. These Chinacovid masks keep me from reading lips to supplement my hearing ... as it is. Wifer looks away from me when she talks -- luv her muchly, but that just annoys the crap outa me.

      Our wives must be twins. I am as close to be deaf as you can get and not be deaf. I too read lips and I really, really hate the masks.

    I was raised on Cajun Coffee and if it isn't almost thick enough to eat with a fork it isn't done cooking down yet. Have you ever seen a demetasse cup? That litte one ounce cup will hold coffee that equals several cups of regular coffee. If it is available where you live you need to give Seaport DARK Coffee a try. On a freezing cold morning when you are going to be sitting in a deer stand freezing your butt off that stuff is a lifesaver for the body!!! Talk about waking you up and getting your motor started!

    PS: I love HOT peppers and eat them with almost every meal. I used to raise some giant japalinos that were huge, jucy and sweet/hot as hell.

    As far as the mask thing...I think that a lot of us have suddenly found out how much of what we THOUGHT we were hearing was actually lip reading. It is like everyone is hard of hearing these days.

    I seldom leave our survival retreat and when I do it is usually survival related , such as getting feed for my milk goats , bloodhound for trailing or that mean attack dog . Normally I am up around day break and grinding up coffee beans for a couple of mugs of coffee to get my day going . I am a bit over supplied on coffee right now but as soon as I get my coffee supply a bit lower , I plan to try roasting green coffee beans , and then grinding them up each morning . I have a coffee bean roaster still in the box waiting for its first green coffee beans to roast . -- I just sit back and watch the world collapse . My years of prepping is beginning to pay off .

    Another Sawyer fan here. Glad I don't have to pick just one must have survival item. If things got the worst that they could, I would want to be in an area with decent flint (knappable stone), That gives me cutting blades, flint for fire and the ability to make essentials (old school).
