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.
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.
Interesting. I love the PACE concept. I actually had no idea about filter bottles and I love the concept. Thank you guys for teaching me these little things. These skills will be passed down from generation to generation.
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 🙂
@@TannerSwizel fantastic, thanks for the info! I wonder if I can design a way for a clamp be used? Regardless of what I find out, the first step is getting one 😎
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.
I like to go hiking. I carry a Sawyer squeeze with me as a secondary source. I can't remember the name but someone did a very thorough review of many different methods.... Good stuff.
Great video, thanks! Yes, only boiling as hell will purify water after filtration, that means long enough and hard enough. Some dangerous prototozoe and single cell organisms are quite resistent and one can get sick of them delayed, even months and years after incorporation. And at least, why not have a tea outside😀.
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
@@gymfloor169 was a gift. But question is what filters work in it other than OEM. Saw Doulton made in UK is certified but don’t know enough about them.
What can one do to diy a total system for for the chemicals an all bacterias if possible just asking I have a katadyn a grayl geopress the odd assortment of chemical treatments anyway just in case hurricane country ya know anyway in case.
There's a special membrane you can get from laboratory stores that acts as filter. Many people that took lab in college may have seen it. It looks like paper. There's another one that looks like a plastic. It's porse are microscopic.
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!
I like the videos and a lot of the information. That being said, what are you trying to teach for? Survival, Hiking, End of world stuff? I am an avid backpacker, and I have lived in oregon my whole life, so I am familiar with always being wet and cold. I think people would benefit more from these videos if they were more aligned for what they are doing. Just my opinion thank you for your teachings.

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! Chlorine oxidizes (breaks down chemically) organics given enough contact time! UV light disrupts the DNA of microorganisms preventing them from reproducing, essentially removing their pathogenicity!
I would love to discuss some things with you, I was a combat medic in the Army and I am retired Army. Please contact me if you see fit. Love what you do by the way.
So now that I know the Grail makes a stainless steel container my plan is to get a grill and have a couple of stainless steel water bottles that I can transfer water from the Grail to those bottles and then fill the Grail back up that will give me enough water keep me going when it's raining like it is I'll figure out how not to get a crawdad cross-contamination as I do that maybe have me a Poncho or something like that that keeps me a little dry and no water coming into those bottles to do what I need to do I will figure it out I live in the Pacific Northwest I live in Oregon Salem Oregon all the time and I can figure things out at home during that time I am 65 years old and I don't go out hunting anymore I can't
How did the mountain men and frontier people treat their water back in the day? Didn't Civil War soldiers just fill their canteens out of rivers, brooks, and streams?
You say water HAS to be brought to a roaring boil, but .... have you heard of pasteurization? bringing water to 165 deg F will achieve the same as boiling.
awesome info! What about collecting rain? Also, I find it kinda weird that maybe we are so far removed from nature we "need" to treat our water, despite it being essential for life, it still has to be processed in our own manmade way or else the thing that is essential for life will make our A$$ explode out our mouths, lol. Maybe we really aren't from Earth.
Your tinfoil hat is on tight. It has a lot more to do with the fact that in old days water born pathogens killed millions and millions every year around the world. It was the leading cause of death in most eras.
Well that’s true but also consider when were out in nature, our lifespans were much shorter. So it’s really the man made inventions that help us live long. I don’t want to say we are cheating nature but maybe we really are only designed to live 40-50 years, max. Maybe less when you consider we don’t have a great defense against predators and our child bearing is surprisingly dangerous. But that is like all of nature. Everything has its little odd quirks that may hinder survival. Of course combined with all the evolutionary advantages to survive. Perhaps if you started drinking river water from day 1 your body would adapt to it. Or enough iterations of humans would die until we finally developed something to adapt to it. Or perhaps our brains being able to make things is in fact our adaptation.
Zero water needs to find a way to take their technology that filters water into a smaller footprint. Their smaller products do not perform like their fullsize products.
Love the way he puts his words! Plain speaking yet deep enough.
“We have to be very careful to drink only treated water or else you will explode from both ends.”
Ah, poetry!

@@vitogriffin8902 Sawyer is good people. They make a great product as well. They really do.
Perfect video rn, because I live in Philly and water just got contaminated
Stay safe.
It’s been contaminated bud. There just telling you now

I didn’t care if he made sense or not his voice sounds amazing!! A total turn on ❤!
We used Polar Pure when out hiking for weeks, tiny bottle of iodine that can treat about 1000 gallons.
Got the same grayl, works amazing. Also the titanium version is multi purpose

We used to drink water right out of the Mountains Springs. We did that living in the Smoky Mountains we Drank it everyday as far as I can remember.

Thanks for the Info. What rain gear do you use?
Katadyn Filter Bottle, Sawyer Mini Filter, Lifestraw, Iodine pills. I always carry at least three. Thanks for the Video
I've always wondered how much if any is is rain water, straight from the clouds, on tap.
Any advice on the Lifesaver Jerry can? I recently ran across those and it looks like it'd be a good option for families and for overlanding/camping
My favorite filter is the katadyn squeeze. You squeeze the bag and don't have to suck on it like other bottles
UV with a filter is great as long as you can power it.
Thanks Kevin! Amazing information!
Used to think Berkey filters were the way to go come to find out they aren’t NSF certified and use some third-party lab out of NJ.
I've been saying this to everyone that mentions Berkey, they are an expensive fad brand name that isn't certified and is by far not the best option

Please check your audio system. Thank you.

Thank you!🤗♥️🇺🇸
Thanks!!! :D
Informative and beneficial video
So what about "LifeStraw"?
Good stuff!
Excellent!
@The Fieldcraft Survival ..will you be doing a video on the police response in Nashville?
Thanks
The city I'm in is about to run at a capacity to treat water. Our wastewater goes into the same river that draws our drinking water.
Serious question: How do you treat water with tritium in it?
Thanks man
If I'm in a survival situation in the desert I'm not going to give a fuck about a fire ban.
Good tips

Something so microscopic can affect us on such a big scale, look at seasonal allergies for example

Big bubbles-- no troubles
Good content
You can always tell when someone grew up on the east coast because we always boil water.
Great video! Choppy audio, though.
Does Grayl remove PFAS PFOS and other forever chemicals?
Nice.
If you have to step about 6 feet away from the river and dig a hole let it fill with water that would be safer than drinking right out of it

Where does a man find them zip up bibs? And is it waterproof?
Waders maybe?
What are your thoughts on the police response from the Nashville school shooting.
"Joebama get that straw out of the tullet."
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
T of us know about water what we don't know is how to purify it boiling is one but how do you make a water purifier;?it's possible not easy
How did the mountain men and frontier people treat their water back in the day? Didn't Civil War soldiers just fill their canteens out of rivers, brooks, and streams?
Sure they did but they often became sick of e.g. rocky-mountain spotted fever and died😢 That‘s the true part of the fairytale they do not tell.
Filter using moss and rocks , boil for 4-5 mins
Beating a dead horse at this point lol

A $200 grayl is probably a bit rich for 80% of the subscribers
24 oz. from Amazon is $100.
Yeah it's like $80. And its the only one that filters viruses and chemicals/drugs.
U are not completely right because the grayl can make 1-2 freezings without getting destroyed👍
If it's that hard, I'm bugging in. I'll just use the tap water. LOL
Until you get Palestine Ohio tap water
Zero water needs to find a way to take their technology that filters water into a smaller footprint. Their smaller products do not perform like their fullsize products.
Gonna be a "no shit Sherlock" type of comment but reminder don't drink sea/salt water and no your filter won't work on it.
Fix your audio Jesus lol
Thanks
