    line cooks and chefs are required by law to take a servesafe certification course that teaches about allergies and how to prevent food born illness. It only costs around $20 if you wanted to take the course otherwise the information's is free and scattered across the internet. Water boils at 212 degrees and to completely "sterilize" food you must hold an internal temperature of 165 degrees for 15 whole seconds (pretty much no bacteria can survive). This process works for sterilizing equipment as well.

    Have you guys ever used the .0 gravity water filter by Sawyer? My family and I served as missionaries in Guatemala and Latin America for 10 Years and used this system. We gave out thousands to the people down there because it clears pathogens from any source of water, we even tried it drinking directly from sewer water. It doesn’t eliminate the smell but makes dirty water drinkable.

    I recently saw a video about Sawyer... I have a few of their filters, and I knew there are "better" ones available, but what I didn't know is how nobody does more as far as putting filters into the hands of those in need as Sawyer does. It's a noble cause and a hell of an undertaking they've got going on. I'll definitely keep buying their stuff.

    They take quite a bit of force to press, so be sure to avoid man handling the bottle opening, potentially cross contaminating where your mouth touches. When I bought my first Grayl I thought I'd be able to scoop and press while walking, but this is barely possible. It takes quite a bit of compression, so if the average person is already fatigued you will need to stop and put your weight over it on the ground. I own 3 Grayls, so other than that and dealing with extreme cold I highly recommend them in most cases imo. If you buy one I hope you like it 🙂

    Only way to "treat" water the absolute safe way...is to use the boil/condense method. Building a small still is easy. Also if drinking untreated water, try finding fast moving head waters over pooled stagnant water.

    There are lots of sources of water that are safe to drink, however I think this is a better safe than sorry, sort of scenario. Also, probably assuming most people can't tell the difference between safe and unsafe water. Stagnant water is never safe, while moving water can be. But once again, better safe then sorry. Especially in an emergency survival scenario

    Ya I would recommend a filtration method, followed by chlorination or UV light as a secondary means of treatment! Preferably a membrane filter which is probably what is being used in his bottle filter method! This filtration method provides up to log 5 removal of viruses, the smallest pathogens! Chlorination however is the only real means for storing treated drinking water as it provides a residual that proves the water is still safe to drink over time!
