Charcoal Filtration
Use a pant leg or cone shaped object and fill it with charcaol and two alternating layers of clean sand and small rocks. Boil water for 5 minutes to be sure all bacteria is dead. Nonetheless, it won’t remove any minerals, solids or metals in the water.
Distillation
This method boils the water to a point where it evaporates and collects the vapor in another bottle to let it condense. Instead of taking the foreign elements from the water, you remove the water from the dirt and put it in another container.
Purification Tablets
Use Iodine tablets or Chlorine drops to kill bacteria in the water. It may taste funny but it will surely quench your thirst and keep you hydrated!
UV Light
Ultraviolet pens kill any bacteria in the water. Just insert the bulb into the water, agitate for the specified amount of time and your water is safe to drink.
Filter
Use portable water filters to clean and purify your water. These filters use a ceramic and carbon-based system and they come in all shapes and sizes. Some are even small enough to fit right in your backpack!
Once you have water, you’ll surely be able to think and make better decisions when in a survival scenario. Dehydration may affect your outlook and psychology while being in distress. Do away with all the germs in the dirty water and keep drinking clean, safe, and sanitary water for your hunting survival!
