I purchased me a Life Straw. Only used it on one or two hikes but it sure came in handy when my bottle was empty and there was a river or pond nearby.

It's funny when he was talking about how the water didnt taste as the water from "the old oaken bucket", the old old oaken bucket is a world famous poem about a old well with a oaken bucket thats literally on my street, they got a big plaque and everything

I was 130 degrees in Vietnam. The water from the lister bag did taste odd, due to the purifiers. I got to drinking the juice from the canned pears, peaches, or fruit cocktail from the C-rations. We all knew better not to drink from the bomb crater water over there.

They might not have all known better. I know toward the end of the war they lowered their standards to rock bottom. I'm not putting down the Vietnam troops, my uncle was one of those less than standard types they brought in. The gov't tried to deny him his benefits, due to....various forseeable issues, but my great grandmother's wrote a letter to Jimmy Carter and had them reinstated. He wrote a reply and everything. It's important that their contributions be remembered.

Yep, it's important to keep the times in mind. The WW2 draft brought many men from very different backgrounds together, including a lot of rural folk who didn't live with the benefits of city life, and a lot of city people who didn't understand living in the field. Films like this were definitely aimed at those people who were of a one track mind, thinking they knew everything. Funny thing is you'll STILL meet people in the services with that mindset. Guys who won't bathe, guys who'll fuck anything, guys who eat anything. They usually become the biggest drag on a platoon.

Never had i thought that, of all places, the situation of when my uncle drank water downstream from a pigs herd, would be adressed in a WW2 cartoon

Tbh I used to live right next to the "old oaken bucket" they where talking about, it's from a poem about a well with this wooden bucket that would go down in the well and bucket is real in a town called scituate Massachusetts. The name of the poem is the old oaken bucket

If you boil water it can make it safe and if you boil sea water and collect the steam you get freshwater it only makes sense as salt is a solid and has a higher boiling point in water so it won’t move with the steam The water will condensate and drip down to your container and you get freshwater useful for when you don’t have any water except for seawater of course you still need a way to start a fire

Yeah during WW2 the US military issued tablets in a bottle called Halazone meant to be dropped into a soldiers canteen to purify water for drinking. Problem with these Halazone tablets is the short shelf life, once the seal on the bottles were broken, the tablets were only good for 2-3 days before they were ineffective. Halazone tablets were replaced with iodine based tablets which has an open bottle life of 3 months

These are pretty funny.

I am not a fit or very physical man at all, but the college I went to had a (small) military service attached to it, and I had to go trough three days of boot camp. A walk in the park for a lot of people, I suppose, but for me (and many colleagues) it was still a challenge. They did rationed our water A LOT! We had designeted times when we could fill up our canteen and that was it. It was one of my problems during the camp. It rained one day and one of the big tents accumulated water on top and was dripping through a small hole. As I was somewhat desperate for water, I used that to fill up my canteen. Fortunately, it was not contaminated and I was fine. I wonder why my country still have some of those more old practices you say no longer apply to the US military...
