The US Army taught us about solar stills, but warned us that making enough water to drink was not the point! In order of importance: 1) They keep you anchored to one spot, basically immobile while waiting for the water to drip, drip, drip. You chances of being found rise if you don't wander around. Your camp and stills are easy-peasy to spot from the air. 2) By staying still and in some shade, your need for water and food decreases. Less chance of falling/getting hurt. Less chance of encroaching on animal territories. 3) Staying focused on one task prevents 'option panic'; a state where desperate people will 'try anything' to save themselves. "Let's burn the tents and make lots of smoke!" 4) Hope. You see the water droplets form, you don't feel so helpless and alone. A sense of mastery is returned. Fear is displaced by curiosity. "Can we make the still work better?" instead of "Is the still gonna make enough water?" 5) You get enough water to wet your mouth and talk about your big plans for when you all go home. Their usefulness goes way beyond the water they provide.

In the Army, they taught us how to make a solar still using similar techniques. They had us use prickly-pear cactus as the moisture source. When asked, the instructor admitted that the thing doesn't save your life by giving you enough clean water to drink every day, it saves your life because you stay in one place tending the thing! Wandering while lost uses up more water than you are likely to find and it makes it harder for searchers to find you!

You could improve the efficiency by placing a bottle with a shoelace or something going into it from the middle of the still, that way water drips down into the bottle and can’t easily evaporate back out like it can with Adams design

To make it work much better use some green foliage underneath next time. Helps to build the moisture.

Adam: Clearly these plants are all getting their water from somewhere! Rain: Am I a joke to you? No hate, just laughter

I remember watching them ever since I was 3, we were in my old house and me and my brother would just binge watch it, orange juices ready. It was the only time we could get along.

It looks like they were able to generate a scant 100ml or so from much less than 1m^2 of usable collection surface in 2 hours near midday. Even so, that could already amount to 1.2 litres a day: probably more, because the evaporation/condensation process works best when the ground is warm but the ambient air is cold. (Ask any painter.) A much larger surface would have been easy with the sheet that was already built up from shrink wrap. It just needed to be deployed better. Laying it over a small hole is silly. Find a large hollow and dig out the center area. Don't contaminate the precious sheet by laying it directly on sand, but build up a raised airtight perimeter out of beach logs or deadfall. Higher is better because you can get a steeper slope toward the center without touching something. Don't use sand to weigh down the center, but use a suitable sized pebble. You don't want a catenary shape but a straight decline to a sharp center point. Then the moisture has its best chance to roll down and drip off where the collection cup is, freeing the surface to condense more water. This change alone will easily double rhe output of the collector. How do I know this? Because I started building them sixty years ago, following instructions in a monthly "Things of Science" mailout that AAAS used to run for children. They had lots of cool stuff on hydroponics and crystals and diffeaction, even computer programming. This one stuck with me because I was also into camping. I like Mythbusters. They often do credible science. This clip however is not a good example. There was essentially none of the above analysis. That's not doing science, it's just theatre.

You’d need something to have the water to droop down into the cup, like a small rock or stick. Also maybe this works better with something black. And yeah, trying to find big ass trees so that a waterfall or pond could be collected from. One problem though, you gotta worry about parasites!

Can also add green vegetation to the pit inside the solar still in order to create a larger amount of sources for the still to draw water from.

I’m sure we can give a pass to Jamie for using the wrapping. He did use the duct tape with it. Plus making a solar still purely out of duct tape wouldn’t work too well.

I’ve basically done a solar still when I was a kid to wash my hands without going to the ocean. Yes I was weird
