- should have had him also put some cloth
like a piece of his shirt or the like, over the bottle to to filter out the soil and other stuff which was flowting in the water. Nevertheless this idea also has drawback. Heat will kill bacteria, but what about pesticides etc. you can have in the soil - boiling will not get rid of these - it is much better to use the other technique with the container dug into the ground and some foil above it with a small dimple in the center to have the evaporation condense and drip into the container, where you basically obtain 'distilled' water

- ..
if your out in the wilderness why would there be pesticides?
By Snakieeee 1206145747 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove8015535 - 2
- because nowadays pesticides
are everywhere - perhaps if he was someplace deep in the Amazon forest the water would be free of these, but then again in the amazon forest it should be clean enough so that he wouldn't have to boil it.
By UBIQ.TV 1206174013 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove7008100 - 3
- true
but i would still boil it anyway just to be sure ;)

Just in case someone didn't see it in the description or on several digg comments I posted, my son got this idea from an episode of survivor man on the Discovery Channel. We shot it to test it out because he wanted to try it. I was impressed that it actually worked!

with this video. He saw it on TV and wanted to try it to see if it worked. Obviosly it does! Great job Colin!!!

Thats awesome. I can't believe he actually chugged that water though. lol
By Razorg606 1190587237 Reply Spam [+6] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0

I didn't think he was going to want to drink it either but he did a great job!

I guess if I was lost without water I'd do it too! BTW Colin said the water didn't taste bad at all after it was boiled!
By Moderator_Metacafe 1190585791 Reply Spam [+6] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0
- Yea...
He wanted me to try it. I said no thanks but after he said it tasted like normal water I tried it. Other than being warm it tasted fine! I bet it would taste GREAT if you haven't had anything to drink for a long time too!

to remove sand, dirt and sediment... you can add a few sprigs of mint or evergreen leaves for flavor. Watch for smoke inhalation though. Safe water means nothing if you can't breath.

Staph aureus' toxin is not inactivated by boiling. You may kill the bacteria itself but you will still have massive diarrhea.

diarrhea is better than dying though right!

Colin was watching Survivorman on Discovery and saw this and wanted to try it so we shot it. I thought the bottle would melt so I was impressed when it actually worked! (I didn't see the episode so I wasn't sure how it would actually turn out!)

TS TOTALLY STUPID!! NO OFFENSE, BUT I CANT ASK IN OTHER WAY: ARE YOU IDI0TS?!!
1. Bottle is a Polyethylene(PET) or Polyvinilochlorid (PVC). Although its certified for drink liquids, it is not stable below 100C and with a fire temperatures of >1000C a LOT of toxins comes to dirt together!! A LOT OF!!!
2. PET/PVC plastic is NOT suited for water heating. Thats why best kettle is made of steel or sometimes special plastic. The bottle itself is made of THIN material and has a LARGE surface. The water WILL NEVER reach boiling point by any means!! Almost no bacteria will be killed!
In the end you have lost an hour and got dirty, infected water toxicated. This will be truly "most tasty water you have drunk in your life" and the last one! Amen! DON NOT DRINK IT!!!
There are several HEALTHY methods to get a fresh water from mud. Distillation.
1. Collect only water on the surface.
2. You need 1 or 2 used,clean METAL(!) dose(s) and one bottle(if only one dose); matches; some wood; wires/thread; medium clean sheet of metal/steel or any other surface able to quickly cool off the condensed water.
Place water into the metal dose, fixate it with wire and wood over the fireplace. Fill the dose with water. place another dose/bottle near the first on the ground. Fixate a sheet of metal slightly above it, so that one side of it covers dose on fire and another covers other dose at ANGLE, forming a .
Start the fire and the water will quickly boil and condensate itself on the metal, cooling off and dropping into another dose.
When finished throw the empty dose away.
That way you have a clean distilled water.
You can use this tactic even to produce water from your pee(!!!) if you want and it will be drinkable, clean water as well. Its not a joke.

- Uh... Yea
it does boil. Try it. We're talking about a life or death situation if you need water to survive. The water actually boils in a short amount of time.

Sometime when you have some friends around a fire take a styrofoam cup with water and set it right next to the fire. It will not melt at all until it boils the water or fluid out. My uncle showed me this trick a long time ago and at first I thought he was nuts.

you should also ad that rigorous spinning will seperate some of the sediment making it better tasting.

Last time I checked heating water bottles releases a large amount of carcinogens... Great for an emergency but I would not suggest doing it for fun. Same with water bottles left in the car but not to the same extent.
