I remember out with my dad many many yrs ago we list our water and he made a filter a lot like this and we did quite well. I always felt safe when I was with my dad. He knew so much about living. He was not highly educated but I have to say , you would want someone with his smarts to be there with you to survive . He has been gone now many yrs and I'm now 62 yrs old . There is not a day that he doesn't pop into my head. And thankfully I have remembered much if the things he showed me. One example of some of the things he could do was " He could smell out snakes" can't tell you how many times that came in handy as we where around many poisonous snakes. I miss my dad. Liston to the wise ones . They won't be around forever and someone must pass it on.✌

amen brother and

When I was 16 for a summer job I worked for the local water company. They supply some districts in London, UK. My job was grass cutting around the filter beds. These were shallow basins, the size of a tennis court, about 2 or 3 feet deep with a drainage pipe system at the bottom and a foot and a half of sand on top. The water supply was straight out of the river Thames at Hampton. The beds were flooded with water and the filtered product was piped into the 'chlorination building'. Once given the filtration by sand and the sterilisation with chlorine, the water entered the public water system and the next time anyone saw it, it was coming out of a tap. Apart from the detectable, but not overpowering smell of chlorine the water was fine to drink and use for other purposes. I appreciate that hikers probably don't carry chlorine bleach in their pack, but the product can be sterilised by boiling as mentioned in the video. So all this is to say that simple filtration through sand is good enough for the UK health authorities, and I'm alive to tell the tale.

It is DANGEROUS to drink regular chlorine (Hypochlorine) The chlorine used to dissinfect municipal water is chlorine dioxide (sodium chlorite mixed with either citric or hydrochloric acid). Hope you havnt killed anyone with you dangerous advice!

Interesting video. I'm a licensed water system operator. The concept is similar to how professional filtration systems work. A properly functioning sand and activated charcoal filter will remove parasites, most sediment, but not impurities that are in solution. I.E. metal salts. To remove those, an ion exchange process or reverse osmosis is generally used. Another thing. If you intend to store water, treat it with plain bleach. A few drops a gallon or so should work. You can buy test kits for a reasonable price and test the water. Finally, cleanliness is critical when working with drinking water. Wash tools. Wash containers. If necessary, treat with bleach. By the way, bleach is not very effective against parasites. As he said, boiling is also effective against parasites. Someone asked a question about chemical contaminants. They are another can of worms. If the contaminant is a volatile organic solvent (VOC) it will generally have a lower boiling point than water. This means boiling is somewhat effective for some, but not all contaminants. Interesting video.

Many thanks on the the video, S Kinney. .. great video! You mentioned if anyone had suggestions to bring them to your attention. I've got two. One: Even if you let the water run through for the first and consecutive times, you are not harming future water by catching it in one of your containers, and putting the water back through so you don't waste any of the water you might have worked hard to locate if you are wilderness hiking or lost. Two: Better safe than sorry, the reference I'm provided with over the years suggests 10 minutes with cover on high until bubbling is the safest you might get to drink. Lastly, were you aware that you can add an additional safeguard to your water by adding herbs such as thyme and rosemary that you can carry and use sparingly, and that are very easy to grow once you get to a place where you are stationary for a period of up to three weeks? There are now all sorts of emergency kits that have these herbs ready in dry-seal pouches, and if you've no finance, you could also most easily find wild onion, red clover and chives to add to the water to help boost resistance to any micro-contaminants that cannot be filtered or heated out of the water. .. kind of a back-up plan of sorts. Love the video, and you're very appreciated for taking a moment to share your gems with those of us who might find theirselves in such situations now and again. Very admirable, indeed. Good man! Peace, and may G_d bless.

I want to say thank you.Out of all the videos I've seen on this topic.You're the first person to ever say how long to boil the water.Thanks again.

Boiling water is necessary but it will make it taste flat. Fix that by passing it back and forth between two cups to add the air back lost during boiling.

Always handy to have a few bags of kiln dried sand that you can use.........it's super fine and great for filtering. Also, if you want the charcoal layer to be more effective, start off with larger chunks and then gradually layer up finer and finer amounts until you're dropping char dust into the bottle through your fist........the smaller your particulate, the more efficient the filtration!

I would love to teach this to kids in an outdoor education class! Learning on the land is the best!

This is very useful , possibly life preserving information. I already knew how to make a similar filter. I use clean river rock for the bottom to keep my carbon in and smaller rocks on top to keep larger stuff out. The sand will create nitrogenating bacteria (4 inches or more needed) that will digest bad bacteria, carbon to eliminate pollutants, bad taste , and whatever got by the sand. Rocks on bottom oxygenation and of course keep the carbon in. Not many people have any idea how to make an effective filter. Praise worthy vid, thank you.

Spent 20 years in the Scouts with my boys (back before they started abusing the kids). Packed about a thousand miles in the Sierras and Cascades with the boys. Used a lot of fancy contraptions that DID filter the water, as well as iodine and chlorine kits. Problem with those was that, no matter how much you paid, and no matter how good they were, eventually you would run out of the filtering material, which would be a real problem when the country goes to H__L, as it's now goin'. So this is real good instruction for what's comin'. Thanks.

Also, you can add much of the charcoal fines on top of the sand to help with filtration as well. That is, because the finer the charcoal grain the greater the relative surface area per volume of the mix and by proxy the greater the filtration efficiency. Can also do several layers of charcoal fines and sand where the sand in it self prevents the fines from seeping through with the fines getting more time to absorb more of the unwanted components of the water. Also adding a bit of cloth say from an old clean T-shirt before the final charcoal can help with further filtration water clarity.

Great video. Using a millbank bag really helps get rid of the floating nasties in the water. It will catch, mud, silt, just about anything floating. Same situation, it has to be purified either by modern type filters, water purification tablets, boiling, chlorine, etc. Also, using hard woods for your charcoal works the best.

Ray getoutdoors Very True, I never leave home without a Sawyer filter, I have one in each of my vehicles (and a few other items) there are several great products on the market. A Millbank Bag has a ton of uses but in this video I wanted to show how effective naturally sourced materials can be. Thank You for Watching and Commenting

Thanks when the shit hits the fan I now know I can get drinking water for my family from the local river and lake 👍🏼🇬🇧🇺🇸

A lot of pesticides can't be filtered out this way. It's useful to know some local indicator species of water conditions, so you can tell what water is best for filtering based on the local flora and fauna.

Just caught your video and I like it. I use filters for house water AND now I understand filters better. I'm glad you explained that filtered water is not purified water. I like the way you demonstrated all components as you explained the use. As one commenter said, "I learned a lot in 8 minutes", I agree. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.🤩 👸🤠

Thanks for your public service offering survival tips. We never know when an emergency creates a need to know about the number one survival basic: water.

I was just telling my daughter this morning how to do this! Funny how I came across this video! Thank you, Sir!

Water looked like sunkist.....he ain't playing to prove the point ....good VIDEO

This was very informative. I'm actually going to do this just to see if I can... Nothing else to do while I'm stuck at home

Nice video. A buddy and I are going to to Bushcraft it for 24 hrs. The wives are back at base camp so we can't stay long, but we want to practice. So on the list is the water filtering, crayfish trapping, shelter building. It works for the summer where I'm at but you always need water. Even if it's from snow it is a good idea to filter and boil.

Awesome information 😮..thank you so much...in five years we all probably be living in the woods...hiding out from the Chinese and need this skill...

Being a woman, I have never learned things like this, unfortunately, but this video was suggested, and what a gem to find in 2022, since we all know what's coming our way....

Make a filter “ladder” using multiple of these bottle filters. Get your bottles cut up then take a length of paracord starting from bottom bottle and working your way to the top, lace them up like a shoe ending with a square knot for a hanging loops fill and suspend your filter so that every bottle is resting on the top layer of rock in the bottle underneath. Also if you want, add a couple of empty bottles in the bottom to catch and store your filter water in. Also when your priming this filter, don’t just dump out the first run water, run it through the filter again. He was wasting a lot of water priming his filter when he could have just been double filtering the same water

One thumbs up doesn`t really express my feelings about the presentation. Very helpful, easy to follow, great video. Thanks a lot for sharing!

thank you for showing this!

Entirely well presented material. Very obvious and plain material, using a clear bottle makes it easy for viewers to understand what is used and applied. The explanation about boiling is essential, and is make more simple by the comparison with the multiple see-through containers.

Thanks for the refresher Mr. Stephen Kinney, you da man!

Russ Wilson Most Welcome My Friend!! Hope y’all are well sir

We learned to make a "solar still" in survival training with visqueen, a small rock, your canteen cup and grass. You dig a hole, put your grass in and cup in the middle. Then cover it with your plastic sheet and hold the edges with big rocks. Place the rock in the middle over your cup forming a cone. At the end of the day there will be water in your cup ready to heat. You can also pour some of any "dirty water" around in the grass. If you can't find any vegetation use rocks with the water.

In 2023 this is important knowledge to have.

Thanks for sharing!

This is good info to know. I've seen someone build a water filter like that but with a 5 gallon bottle. Who knows one of these days we all may have to learn how to filter our own water

@@StayPositiveLLC Yeah you really never know. But one thing I do know is that we are lucky to have Trump instead of Clinton guiding us through this darkness.

I used a 2 liter bottle to filter water for a good many years, and I have a way to improve your system. When you are set up and have run a few liters through to purge the filter, it is important thereafter to introduce water into the top by drips, not filling it the way you are showing here. Reason is when the lower charcoal region is flooded, water will run between the grains and so a portion will not be filtered at all. If you poke a hole in your second 2 liter bottle and position it above the filter so it releases water in a drip, drip, drip, fashion one drop at a time, every bit of water will be making contact with the charcoal, and the result will be clear and clean smelling. I say clear, unless the water you are using is stained with tannin. And personally I believe a little tannin may be just what the doctor ordered, as the Native people drank it all the time.

Yes that works in an emergency, I carry a Sawyer mini and it gets rid of cryptosporidium and giardia , but in bad water I still boil my water .the Sawyer mini is made right here in Safety harbor Florida, they are only 1995 and filters 100,000 gallons of water , not everyone has one and the method you showed does work great job.

This was awesome!

I enjoyed your water filtering video. I learned this technic about 50 years ago when I was in the US Navy. I was a Hospital Corpsman for 11 years. I learned this technic at an Marine Corp advanced jungle training school in preparation for going to Vietnam. After leaving the Navy I landed a job in Ecuador. I lived there for 25 years and spent a lot of time in back country and jungle villages. These villages all had the same problem , lack of pure water. Bottled water was available but the villagers were so poor that many just drank water from the river without boiling it. I shared your same water filtering system with the "mayor" of several villages. He in turn taught the villagers. So, I know your technic works and it does save lives !

Thanks for the info. 👌
