- In this video I will show how to build a water filter using an empty 2 Liter bottle and materials that you can source from the wild. This will work with any container, whether it be a bottle, hollow wood or whatever will hold water. The More you cycle through the filter the cleaner the water will be. I was using some VERY muddy water, try and source the best water you can find. Thanks for watching.

I remember out with my dad many many yrs ago we list our water and he made a filter a lot like this and we did quite well. I always felt safe when I was with my dad. He knew so much about living. He was not highly educated but I have to say , you would want someone with his smarts to be there with you to survive . He has been gone now many yrs and I'm now 62 yrs old . There is not a day that he doesn't pop into my head. And thankfully I have remembered much if the things he showed me. One example of some of the things he could do was " He could smell out snakes" can't tell you how many times that came in handy as we where around many poisonous snakes.
I miss my dad.
Liston to the wise ones . They won't be around forever and someone must pass it on.✌
Barbara Heed thanks for comment
God bless you, and God bless your father, Jesus Christ loves you both. much love from Kansas City USA. also, smelling out snakes is LEGENDARY .! lol ^.^ ;)
@@sheaross3124 Amen🤗✝️🙏glad to see you had a good dad that taught you stuff important to live. And yes God bless you
I *felt the SAME WAY about my DAD* WHOM WAS THE GREATEST MAN I have EVER known...
*HE taught me HOW TO BE A "PREPPER" when I was young!* WHO knew the SKILLS would actually be *needed?* Glad U & your Dad had the same kinda "friendship"!
*GOOD FOR YOU+* THIS IS A *GREAT VID+*
Yo how tf do I smell out a snake? Do they have a distinctive smell?
This guy just radiates manliness in everything but it isn't condescending or patronizing. He gives us this information for free
I’m an old lady and you make me feel like I could do this too! Thank you for the video and the great explanations of how and the why.
Please read my comment above about this plastic bladder to be used to almost completely fill your bathtub with fresh water. And it's fairly easy to remove what water you need. If I find where it's sold, I will tell you here and above. Ethel
I know it’s been 7 years, but great video man. You laid this out in a very understandable way.
Every elementary school should teach this and expand on the science of it and different techniques at a larger scale as they advance in grade. So simple and so important. Doesn’t hurt that it’s fun to learn and hands on!
I don't understand why more life skills like this are not taught in the public schools at a very young age? It could be the difference between life-and-death.
School's main function is to indoctrinate, not teach.
For sure you would think knowing if refrigerators quit working no electric that people would go crazy and manny manny people would die in the first few months of no electric like most people sadly just due to the lack of knoladge on how to prep for winter how to preserve meat how to make meals in the wild how to know the difference between good plants to eat and bad ones how to set traps 🪤 on and on these things should be thought to the nation to be prepared for let’s say a EMP or nuke in space does the same thing emp but bigger.
@@johnnycarson67 Because they are not there to teach you how to survive live long healthy life, nope just teach you how to obey Instructions , like a good little slave 😎

When using sand,.... if you heat it in the fire in a pan 1st,.... to sterilize it,..... makes it even better!
YES, heating//sterilizing the sand would be a very good idea. Not required...BUT...smart.
Kind regards, Ben
@Drew Peacock .....in crashed airplanes. Better yet, make one crash at your site
Drew Peacock always keep a cast iron pan in your edc kit, bro. Duh.
@Drew Peacock build your fire ontop of the sand your going to use. use a gourd or make some pottery out of clay for your bottle. leaves might work well too.
@Drew Peacock You probably shouldn't be out without some of the essentials like a pan, cordage and a bottle of water anyway.
I am so glad you mentioned the fact that you have to boil it.
If you have a fire, you can just distill it, and skip all the steps.
@@johnnybravo8587 Distilling requires condensing. Condensing requires tubing and such to catch and redirect the steam. Condensing also takes much longer.
@@johnnybravo8587 It's clear you've never distilled anything in your life.
Distilling does take longer upside is u have to boil it anyway, buttttt.... distilled water lacks everything, no minerals, yes it cleans your body out but it's dead water.
@@johnnybravo8587 Distilled water will also run everything out of you and put you in the hospital. Great advice there, buddy.
This city woman hopes that she never has to drink water like that, however, that was the most interesting video to watch and skill to learn! Could be a life saver. One never knows! Thanks for the demonstration! Knowledge is power!!
Imagine her disbelief when her guy come back with clean water one day when clean water is rare,, says he cleaned it and teaches her how to do it😂😎
Thanks, We did this today in our survival course here in France and and everyone was impressed how clear it came out.
I'm ex-army and I thought this was very well done, thanks for sharing this, and wish you continued success on your channel. Peace ✌🏻😎🇺🇸🇨🇦
I'm ex-dish washer and I also thought this was well done.

Would this work with salt water and remove the salt?
Thank you for serving our country.

amen brother and
This was the most informative demonstration of how to filter filthy water, then make it safe for consumption I've seen.
Interesting video. I'm a licensed water system operator. The concept is similar to how professional filtration systems work. A properly functioning sand and activated charcoal filter will remove parasites, most sediment, but not impurities that are in solution. I.E. metal salts. To remove those, an ion exchange process or reverse osmosis is generally used.
Another thing. If you intend to store water, treat it with plain bleach. A few drops a gallon or so should work. You can buy test kits for a reasonable price and test the water.
Finally, cleanliness is critical when working with drinking water. Wash tools. Wash containers. If necessary, treat with bleach. By the way, bleach is not very effective against parasites.
As he said, boiling is also effective against parasites.
Someone asked a question about chemical contaminants. They are another can of worms. If the contaminant is a volatile organic solvent (VOC) it will generally have a lower boiling point than water. This means boiling is somewhat effective for some, but not all contaminants. Interesting video.
Good info.thanks
I’m into water too, but unfortunately, it won’t take out viruses and other toxic water bourn killers, but great for dirty water to make clean to drink.
When I was 16 for a summer job I worked for the local water company. They supply some districts in London, UK. My job was grass cutting around the filter beds. These were shallow basins, the size of a tennis court, about 2 or 3 feet deep with a drainage pipe system at the bottom and a foot and a half of sand on top. The water supply was straight out of the river Thames at Hampton.
The beds were flooded with water and the filtered product was piped into the 'chlorination building'. Once given the filtration by sand and the sterilisation with chlorine, the water entered the public water system and the next time anyone saw it, it was coming out of a tap.
Apart from the detectable, but not overpowering smell of chlorine the water was fine to drink and use for other purposes.
I appreciate that hikers probably don't carry chlorine bleach in their pack, but the product can be sterilised by boiling as mentioned in the video. So all this is to say that simple filtration through sand is good enough for the UK health authorities, and I'm alive to tell the tale.
Robert Seviour , wow! Amazing insight!
@Drew Peacock I was told that if you drew your water in London it was taken from the River Thames and had been drunk and peed twenty times before it got to you !
Robert thanks for the info 👍 👍
Brilliant thank you.
It is DANGEROUS to drink regular chlorine (Hypochlorine) The chlorine used to dissinfect municipal water is chlorine dioxide (sodium chlorite mixed with either citric or hydrochloric acid). Hope you havnt killed anyone with you dangerous advice!
as an initial action, let the dirty water stand a few hours so the sediment drops to the bottom and filter the top, very slowly so as not to disturb the sediment. My old boy scout manuals of 50 years ago suggested this.
That's actually a smart move 😂.. good advice.
also when filling the bottle, have the nozzle (opening) against the flow of water.
scouts save lives
You can speed this up. Ti a string to the top of the bottle and spin the whole thing around your body fairly slowly. It'll centrifuge it. Bring it to a rest slowly or you'll churn up the sediment. Decant and you're good to filter.
Indeed, all forms of true gravity filtering are benficial because of removing the heavy enough containments. I gravity-filter my water for 5 days before running it thru the filter. Just use enough containers so the back one takes 5 days to be used.
I was watching Thor’s world record lift, then learned how to make sauna, followed by how to drill a 20 feet well and here i am! Who knows whats next
Don't you just love youtube? At least some of the learning is worth the time that it consumed and this is part of that.
And I'm going to guess you've never had an interest in any of this stuff before, right?
Good lad 😂👏
Solar powered electric deep well. No need for any treatment.
So good to hear a WNC voice. Good information.
I remember making a filter exactly the same way, that was homework in fifth grade back in El Salvador. Good job sir!
Omar Castro really! that was awesome they taught you that in school
IMarcella Bear, Yes good memories best time of my life :)
Better than the crap they teach in schools these days.🙏🏼🙏😊

This is the same technique the Indians used. The hardest step was searching for a 2 liter bottle

In 2023 this is important knowledge to have.
We learned this in 4-H when we would go camping 30 years ago...I had forgotten about this.....Thanks for the reminder
Always handy to have a few bags of kiln dried sand that you can use.........it's super fine and great for filtering. Also, if you want the charcoal layer to be more effective, start off with larger chunks and then gradually layer up finer and finer amounts until you're dropping char dust into the bottle through your fist........the smaller your particulate, the more efficient the filtration!
If you're going to carry around sand you might as well just carry around a proper filter.
@@johnny555 can't buy a filter in the woods
@@MrGnorts I forgot you can buy kiln dried bags of sand in the woods.
I suppose you could clean sand the best you can for the first filter, then use that clean water to wash the next batches of sand, I tried to clean my own sand it it was a very hard process.
@@johnny555 I carry both a Katadyn and Sawyer with me when I'm hiking, sure. This is obviously advice aimed at folks that need to make something from scratch in a shtf situation.
But hey, I guess you just wanted to be 'that guy'...
Boiling water is necessary but it will make it taste flat. Fix that by passing it back and forth between two cups to add the air back lost during boiling.
did you pass chemisry class

I'm late to the party on this demonstration, but thanks Stephen. I learned this so many years ago, but I'd forgotten the details. We all need a refresher now and then, and this was a clear and concise explanation of how to and why to. Especially liked the sapling hoop, first class work.
@@karlwithak.😂😂😂
@@karlwithak.well that’s where you went wrong brother! Everyone knows, if your going in the woods, a plastic folding table is a MUST! Even before you pack your “on benifits survival knife”, you see how clean and polished that thing was? It’s never done a days work in it’s whole life, you must pack the folding plastic table! You’re just not cut out for this survival stuff! Lmao 😂😂
You’re gonna get caught out again and it might be serious next time. If I was you I’d get a folding plastic table tattoo, a big one, full size on your back, that way you’ll always have a decent sized one with you no matter the situation. 👍🙂🏴
Awesome!! At least someone takes the effort and interest to do such simple tests and filters the fine particle from the stream..Mankind's shall always keep the environment and water source clean..Congratulations to your simple test and result. 😅.❤
Excellent video. Love that you didn't skip any steps and walked through the entire process. Also that you emphasized the difference between filtering and purifying. Very simply taught, and easy to remember. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
One of the best step by step videos I've seen in a long time. Thank you.
john ori Thank You For Watching and Commenting!!!! I Truly enjoy doin these.
Showing nothing of use lol😂😂😂
I want to say thank you.Out of all the videos I've seen on this topic.You're the first person to ever say how long to boil the water.Thanks again.
Awesome 👍
I would love to teach this to kids in an outdoor education class! Learning on the land is the best!
thanks im a city boy an know nothing about surviving the outdoors. Thank you for making the video. And yes learning how to do these things in case covid makes people go nuts and have to retreat to nature
In these days and times, you're doing God's work. Appreciate you brother
Many thanks on the the video, S Kinney. .. great video! You mentioned if anyone had suggestions to bring them to your attention. I've got two. One: Even if you let the water run through for the first and consecutive times, you are not harming future water by catching it in one of your containers, and putting the water back through so you don't waste any of the water you might have worked hard to locate if you are wilderness hiking or lost. Two: Better safe than sorry, the reference I'm provided with over the years suggests 10 minutes with cover on high until bubbling is the safest you might get to drink. Lastly, were you aware that you can add an additional safeguard to your water by adding herbs such as thyme and rosemary that you can carry and use sparingly, and that are very easy to grow once you get to a place where you are stationary for a period of up to three weeks? There are now all sorts of emergency kits that have these herbs ready in dry-seal pouches, and if you've no finance, you could also most easily find wild onion, red clover and chives to add to the water to help boost resistance to any micro-contaminants that cannot be filtered or heated out of the water. .. kind of a back-up plan of sorts. Love the video, and you're very appreciated for taking a moment to share your gems with those of us who might find theirselves in such situations now and again. Very admirable, indeed. Good man! Peace, and may G_d bless.
This is very useful , possibly life preserving information. I already knew how to make a similar filter. I use clean river rock for the bottom to keep my carbon in and smaller rocks on top to keep larger stuff out. The sand will create nitrogenating bacteria (4 inches or more needed) that will digest bad bacteria, carbon to eliminate pollutants, bad taste , and whatever got by the sand. Rocks on bottom oxygenation and of course keep the carbon in. Not many people have any idea how to make an effective filter. Praise worthy vid, thank you.
I saw a primitive guy make one of these on a much larger scale. I want to make one out of a couple walmart buckets this weekend and try to filter our pond water. If the S hits the fan, we have water it is just muddy. Thank you so much!
stagnant water is where you are most likely to have all the bad pathogens and stuff so if you ever use it in shtf just make sure you purify as well.
As a young man I could listen 👂🏾 to older men all day, damn near exciting 😅
Good video. Very smart and easy way to help filter your water. Like Steve said, always boil your water regardless of the filtering. I always boil water before I use my Sawyer Mini. Helps to keep it cleaner and extends the life
Years ago there was a series of books called FIREFOX that had a ton of old survival and traditional skills that the early American Pioneers used. They are great books and you might find them on amazon or even in your local library. They are worth having and reading.
Great video! Thanks for the presentation.
I have the first 4 in the series. Packed full of very useful info.
Thanks for a video that is not only informative but actually very survival oriented. I’m a former marine thought many survival skills and I must say that this video is very useful. Thank you and keep the good work up.
Wow! My brother bought a fire striker and was so excited about it and I was like 😒🙄!! He got so upset and talked so badly about me saying I wouldn’t know the first thing to do if I was ever stranded lol! I quickly came to TH-cam to figure out how to use it and ended up here! SO EXCITED I DID! This was nothing less than amazing and informative! Thank you for taking your time to possibly save my life if I ever need this in the future! God Bless!
This was super helpful. We live on 10 acres of hardwoods in the wetlands of michigan, and we have everything right here to do this. Thank you. Do more survival stuff
Thank you so much! My 5yr old son got interested as soon as he saw me watching this! we were both able to learn!

There are many of components to survival.
One resource I discovered which successfully combines these is the Micaden Survive System
(google it if you're interested) definately the most helpful survival website i've seen.
Check out the interesting free video.
keep it real
It's very nice of your husband to allow you out of the kitchen long enough to watch this. He's a great man, and you should feel quite happy that he gives you such privileges!
Hands-down the best video of this type of filter. Covered everything & did so correctly. Great job, ranger.
Thank You For Watching and Commenting, that Truly Means A LOT!!
I wish I had known this when I was living in the woods in Oregon. I had serious issues with clean drinking water. You are the bomb diggety! Thank you
I approve 100% what this man explains here. In many african villages, we collect water from wells and it's absolutely purified and has great taste.
I like how you used just what you find in nature,you kinda made it idiot proof,thank you for that!
Provided you have a plastic bottle and a knife. Even mass produced water filters use charcoal and the like.
Nothing is idiot proof. Some idiot will surely sever his femoral artery cutting the bottom off the plastic bottle.
@@yourmomsdildo3938 saw it happen during a hunters saftey class when i was a teen some idiot stabbed himself in the leg making holes ..... but we used deer hide not a 2 liter
wow - thats the first time I've seen that. Really cool man! I may wind up using this system some day! Thanks for spreading the knowledge....America needs to be more self sufficient.
I spent a long time looking for a filtration system I could make. Every video I clicked on just tried to sell me some product. This is super helpful, thank you so much!
Thanks for the education...nice to hear you covered basic water safety in the wild and possibly at home if water sources go bad. I'm an RN thanks again!
Thank you so much! I want to do a 128 mile hike, and I was concerned about carrying enough water to survive the journey. I wanted to be absolutely sure I knew what I was doing when it comes to water filtration. I knew about rocks sand and charcoal, but didn't know about putting grass in it. I saw someone else's comment about moss having iodine, and that's good to know too.
Woooo Hoooo, I absolutely Love Long Hikes. My Preferred Method is using a sawyer water filter in conjunction with a gravity system, less work with maximum benefits. Thank You For Watching And Commenting, Happy Treking!!
THAT is when you go to REI or go online and BUY a very lightweight porcelain water filter. When I went on a several mile hike I never had to bring any water with me, I took it straight out of the stream I was hiking next to. Carrying enough water? The only place that should concern you is the DESERT. Just sayin.
just get one of those straw filters or bag filters
Silver in the ground filters too , look for natural spring head , coming out of ground.. copper kills bacteria, next generation counter top in kitchen's ...
Geeze people,,,, pay attention to the video before asking questions. He explains it over and over. There is a difference in "filtering" water (to remove dirt, leaves, sticks, etc) and "purifying" water to kill the microscopic critters.
Thank YOU!!! I appreciate you Watching And Commenting, Have an AWESOME Day!
No doubt. Lol Or where do you get the charcoal from or how long do you boil?
So what's this for drinking?
@Damnit Bobby Put it over a small fire.
@Damnit Bobby Honestly though it sounds weird but I've heard it on a few other shows. I'm sure somebody on here will show us if we look it up though.
Awesome information 😮..thank you so much...in five years we all probably be living in the woods...hiding out from the Chinese and need this skill...
Great video man... I can find a coke 2 liter just about anywhere, and the other materials everywhere. That was some nasty looking water and you got it pretty damn clear fast! Appreciate ya! Stay safe
Great video. Using a millbank bag really helps get rid of the floating nasties in the water. It will catch, mud, silt, just about anything floating. Same situation, it has to be purified either by modern type filters, water purification tablets, boiling, chlorine, etc. Also, using hard woods for your charcoal works the best.
Ray getoutdoors Very True, I never leave home without a Sawyer filter, I have one in each of my vehicles (and a few other items) there are several great products on the market. A Millbank Bag has a ton of uses but in this video I wanted to show how effective naturally sourced materials can be. Thank You for Watching and Commenting
Subbed within the first 30 seconds. Simple presentation, speaks clearly, audio quality is excellent, great ideas.
and WRONG info about 3 days with no water & you're done.! ! ! This guy has never done a water only fast or dry fast... and giving this info is not only wrong but scare tactic, misleading and NOT helpful
@@heyitsrick01 What do you dry fast for? Just Curious
Me too
Rick X except he isn’t wrong. On average, 3 days and you’re fucked. Even dry fasting unless you’re ONLY eating completely dehydrated EVERYTHING, you are still getting some water in your food.
Good Enough, Cant live without water. Thank you.
This presentation and teaching was far from dry. Great job sir.
This was very informative. I'm actually going to do this just to see if I can... Nothing else to do while I'm stuck at home

Thanks for your public service offering survival tips. We never know when an emergency creates a need to know about the number one survival basic: water.
just saying that when you drink the water it is fine if some charcoal is in it because in small portions charcoal if you eat it it can help with poisoning
Tonic Xp You are correct, ingesting small amounts of charcoal will not hurt you at all. Thanks for the compliment and for watching.
Also, you can add much of the charcoal fines on top of the sand to help with filtration as well. That is, because the finer the charcoal grain the greater the relative surface area per volume of the mix and by proxy the greater the filtration efficiency. Can also do several layers of charcoal fines and sand where the sand in it self prevents the fines from seeping through with the fines getting more time to absorb more of the unwanted components of the water. Also adding a bit of cloth say from an old clean T-shirt before the final charcoal can help with further filtration water clarity.
Tonic Drawings just make sure it’s not regular coal
Its carcinogenic though,so thats not a long term option at all.
@SicSemperEvelloMortemTyrannis TyrannyEnder Yep use the charcoal from your earlier fires..easy peasy..
I could stack several of the bottles.(say 6 on top of each other) and it does 6 times the filtration. Excellent survival knowledge. Thanks
Thank you so much for this video! In these end days we need to know how to do these essential things in order to endure to the end. May God be with all who understand we are in the last days. Stay sin free and be guided by Christ. This is truly a great time to be alive! 😃
Mr. Kinney this was AMAZING! You kept my attention the entire time. I am a first time viewer and I am a new subscriber for your channel. This was very educational, it was not difficult to hear or understand you, and level of difficulty in my opinion is super simple. Thank you again!
Nice video. A buddy and I are going to to Bushcraft it for 24 hrs. The wives are back at base camp so we can't stay long, but we want to practice. So on the list is the water filtering, crayfish trapping, shelter building. It works for the summer where I'm at but you always need water. Even if it's from snow it is a good idea to filter and boil.
I never knew that you could do this! Thank you for such a great video!
This guys accent makes the video so much damn better!
I used a 2 liter bottle to filter water for a good many years, and I have a way to improve your system. When you are set up and have run a few liters through to purge the filter, it is important thereafter to introduce water into the top by drips, not filling it the way you are showing here. Reason is when the lower charcoal region is flooded, water will run between the grains and so a portion will not be filtered at all.
If you poke a hole in your second 2 liter bottle and position it above the filter so it releases water in a drip, drip, drip, fashion one drop at a time, every bit of water will be making contact with the charcoal, and the result will be clear and clean smelling. I say clear, unless the water you are using is stained with tannin. And personally I believe a little tannin may be just what the doctor ordered, as the Native people drank it all the time.
Thank you for this additional information!
Excellent information. Thanks.
excellent point
Great video, I sure hope society looks to the traditional men for wisdom in these uncertain times. Maybe the long ignored will finally be appreciated & respected again!! Kudos& be safe.
Entirely well presented material. Very obvious and plain material, using a clear bottle makes it easy for viewers to understand what is used and applied. The explanation about boiling is essential, and is make more simple by the comparison with the multiple see-through containers.
We learned this in first grade in Latin America, I wish more people knew. Thanks for sharing!
This is good info to know. I've seen someone build a water filter like that but with a 5 gallon bottle. Who knows one of these days we all may have to learn how to filter our own water
Now is the time.

Being a woman, I have never learned things like this, unfortunately, but this video was suggested, and what a gem to find in 2022, since we all know what's coming our way....
Spent 20 years in the Scouts with my boys (back before they started abusing the kids). Packed about a thousand miles in the Sierras and Cascades with the boys. Used a lot of fancy contraptions that DID filter the water, as well as iodine and chlorine kits. Problem with those was that, no matter how much you paid, and no matter how good they were, eventually you would run out of the filtering material, which would be a real problem when the country goes to H__L, as it's now goin'. So this is real good instruction for what's comin'. Thanks.
Make a filter “ladder” using multiple of these bottle filters. Get your bottles cut up then take a length of paracord starting from bottom bottle and working your way to the top, lace them up like a shoe ending with a square knot for a hanging loops fill and suspend your filter so that every bottle is resting on the top layer of rock in the bottle underneath.
Also if you want, add a couple of empty bottles in the bottom to catch and store your filter water in. Also when your priming this filter, don’t just dump out the first run water, run it through the filter again. He was wasting a lot of water priming his filter when he could have just been double filtering the same water
That's what I thought when seeing that to much water is being wasted. Thanks for your comment on it and for "filter ladder" that's pretty awesome 👍
Agreed
Good idea thanks!

Karl, best to check the river water for the many possible insecticides, herbacides, and other poisons. Here, the creeks are .Lifeless., except for a few frogs.
@@senatorjosephmccarthy2720 Hence filtering and boiling it.
A lot of pesticides can't be filtered out this way. It's useful to know some local indicator species of water conditions, so you can tell what water is best for filtering based on the local flora and fauna.
If your water is clear like from a river or lake you dont need to do this just boil it
@@bmllz then run a makeshift still/evaporation device
Thank you. I I absolutely love this stuff. I wish they taught survival techniques in the public school system. This stuff is important. A man may never need to use these skills but the one who does will not survive without them. We've become way to dependent upon technology rather than the simple blessings that God has given to us. God will provide for us what we need, but too often His blessings are waisted.
Thank you so much for your thorough teaching.
I loved your whole set up including how you hung up the filter. Awesome tutorial. thank you.
One thumbs up doesn`t really express my feelings about the presentation. Very helpful, easy to follow, great video. Thanks a lot for sharing!
We learned to make a "solar still" in survival training with visqueen, a small rock, your canteen cup and grass.
You dig a hole, put your grass in and cup in the middle. Then cover it with your plastic sheet and hold the edges with big rocks. Place the rock in the middle over your cup forming a cone.
At the end of the day there will be water in your cup ready to heat.
You can also pour some of any "dirty water" around in the grass. If you can't find any vegetation use rocks with the water.
I was just telling my daughter this morning how to do this! Funny how I came across this video! Thank you, Sir!
thanks for the video. My 13 year old son is homeschooled and studying wilderness and urban survival and I was looking for a video that actually didnt use any type of cloth. I watched several youtube vids and this was my favorite. I also enjoyed the comments. People have great ideas.

Comes in handy right now. I have no power or water at my house. But i do have a creek right beside the house
Thanks for the refresher Mr. Stephen Kinney, you da man!
Russ Wilson Most Welcome My Friend!! Hope y’all are well sir
Outstanding. Information like this can and will save lives. THANK YOU
Just caught your video and I like it. I use filters for house water AND now I understand filters better. I'm glad you explained that filtered water is not purified water.
I like the way you demonstrated all components as you explained the use. As one commenter said, "I learned a lot in 8 minutes", I agree. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.🤩
👸🤠
This is so clinic!!! Absolute brilliance in simplicity and in instructing in filtration and purification!!!!

Not do much of a comment but more of a thank you so much for this video! It is truly appreciated! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Yes that works in an emergency, I carry a Sawyer mini and it gets rid of cryptosporidium and giardia , but in bad water I still boil my water .the Sawyer mini is made right here in Safety harbor Florida, they are only 1995 and filters 100,000 gallons of water , not everyone has one and the method you showed does work great job.
Thank you very much. This could be a life saver one day.
This was fantastic thank you!
Great advice! Thank you for sharing!!
