When you're out in the woods, or in the
wilderness, one of the most important things
you need to remember is you're gonna need water.
Good, clean, fresh water.
Well you might think just because you're
in the woods, and you see this pure,
pristine, babbling stream of water
that it's okay to drink.
No, it is not.
(gentle instrumental music)
You can never assume that any natural
water source that you find, no matter
how clear it looks, is safe to drink.
I remember this story about this guy,
he was out in the woods, and he was
really thirsty, and so he found himself
a nice, clear, fresh stream.
Took some water, drank it, and he died,
so when the rescuers came out to find
the guy, they wanted to know what had happened.
They walked about 100 yards upstream,
and they found a dead moose in the stream.
So let this be a warning to you.
Moose head beer, good, moose water, bad.
This is why you need to make sure that
if you're out in the wilderness, or in the country,
that you have clean water.
So how can you do that?
Well there's a number of easy ways.
Number one, if you can build a fire,
you can always boil the water.
This means you have to have the equipment,
the firewood, and everything that you
need to get a fire started, and you're
also gonna need a can, or a pot, or a pan,
that you can boil water in.
You boil it for about a minute, allow it
to cool down, and that'll kill anything
that's in that water, and it's safe to drink.
Now if you don't things that you can
make a fire with, another thing you
can do is bring with you a small bottle of bleach.
And what you can do is you can purify
the water by putting about...
Take a little eyedropper, put about eight
drops, per gallon, in the water, shake it around,
and let it sit for about 45 minutes,
and it will kill all the bacteria, and
all the parasites, and all the bad stuff
that's in there.
If you don't have bleach, you can
also go to your outdoor store and
get water purification tablets, it's the same idea.
You put them in the water, you leave
them in for about 45 minutes, shake it around,
and then it kills all the bad organisms.
Right here, this is a
water pump, with a filter.
So, you stick this end into the water source,
you start pumping on this, it draws up all
the water, through the filter, and the
filter takes out all the bad stuff, all the
bad microbes, and stuff like that.
Another really neat device that you can
use to purify water is called a survival straw.
And it looks like what it sounds.
It's about a 10 to 12 inch straw,
and it has a water filter, inside of it.
And how you use it, it's really simple.
You put one end in your mouth, and you
put the other end in your water source.
It could be a stream or even a puddle of water.
And you draw water up through the straw,
and the filtering side immediately cleans
the water and removes all microbes,
all bacteria, and even dirt and mud.
So that's about as simple as it gets.
These things are not expensive, you can get 'em
at any outdoor store, or you can even buy 'em online.
If you find yourself out in the woods,
and there doesn't seem to be any water around,
water flows downstream, doesn't it?
It flows downhill, so if you're in a hilly area,
I walk down the hill, to the lowest area I could find,
and see if I could find some water.
What if you don't have a water straw, what
if you don't have one of these pumps?
What if you don't have purification tablets, or bleach?
Or ways to make a fire?
I've got a really bright idea for you.
Bring your own water.
This is readily available.
Bottled water.
You open the top, and you take a drink.
Very fresh, and it's safe.
You can do this.
