Great to see you back Cody, that view of the mountain and forest is amazing !
Beautiful day there and a great back drop to boot. I was just thinking about getting one of these filters for my wife who loves filtered water. Just in time for her birthday and a prep on top of that. Thank you Cody !
We have the Royal Berkey and love it! It filters our town water beautifully. I also have two 55 gallon rain barrels that I use for back up emergency water supply and to water the garden during non-WROL situations. Love those as well. We are trying to move out of town, and once we do I will upgrade to a large tank for rain water collection for garden and keep the barrels for drinking water only. Love, love, love this type of filter system!!!
That was a great explanation of the water filter. Thank you for taking the time to tell people to get their priorities in line. We are living in uncertain times and many people are acting as if nothing is wrong. Great vid and good wisdom.
THAT VIEW.... that is gorgeous....
Great video Cody. I think that item is worth the money and the best thing is that it works without and power needed. I have to say that view of the mountain behind you in that video is amazing, just beautiful. Can't wait for more videos. thanks.
Cody, this is one of the better videos from you that I have seen in a long time!!
Love the view Cody. Regards from Australia.
Another fantastic video as always. Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to create and post your videos. When I see a new one from you, that's the first one I watch on YT. I can always count on quality & useful information/content from you. Don't ever change that!!
water (clean water) one of the biggest essentials we all need, and one of the things that so many people overlook. excellent video.
Is that Mt St Helens behind you? What an awesome view from your home.
I burn super unleaded in mine and it has worked for years.
we bought a big Berkey, it has paid for it self over the last few years on not buying bottled water....keep make good videos ,God Bless
Thanks for the video, I will have to look into one of those, where I live we can't drink the water so at home we use 5 gallon jugs of water. Spending 300 is a drop in the bucket when it comes to making sure you have good water.
weezer intro for your video? thats awesome!
Had the same problem in Australia, after some investigation I found that BP market a product called R55. Coleman fuel is basically Naphtha, so you could quiz your local fuel distributor for a Naphtha solvent that will do the same job.
Water crisis in Flint Michigan they should have listened to Wranglerstar
Great video, Cody. We have been using a Berky Light for the last year or so, and really love it. We added the fluoride filters as well. Ours did not come with the cleaning pad or gauge, the instructions say to use food coloring to test that the filters are still working. One question I have for you is how do you suggest storing spare filters? I've heard that they can absorb moisture from the air and go bad. Also, these filters are not approved for sale in California and possibly other states.
I think a more long term solution for someone in your position would be to install an elevated cistern to pump your well water up into and use gravity to bring the water into the building. We have one at a very remote site my company owns, and it fills from the gutters with rainwater, ours holds 1000 gal. We use a little 110v pump from HF with 3/4" garden hose fittings to raise the pressure but ours only sits 3' off the ground. If it sat 10-12' up on a platform you'd have plenty of head pressu
Love what you are doing Wrangerstar, keep it up!
I know it gets old where you are, if you worry about freezing with a cistern, you could build one from scratch by forming up the tank from studs and plywood and pouring the tank from concrete 4"thick. Make it larger than what you need, then purchase a smaller plastic tank to drop down inside the concrete one and insulate underneath and around the inner tank with spray foam insulation. You could even circulate the water through a homemade solar hot water system in the winter to warm it.
just a good ole "prepper community" ass whoopin'.....much needed and well said. Thanks Cody for being a voice in the wilderness.
As for the fluoride I see the Berkey one has a fluoride filter that cuts 95% of it. I don't know much about all the filters out on the market today but that reverse osmosis is the best
I find it interesting that more & more folks are starting to prepare for the inevitable. Those that were thought to be cooks, nuts, or on the fringe are now sought out to instruct folks on what's important should a calamity occur. Thanks for the info.
Another great vid, Cody. I've had a Berkey Lite for more than a year now and it has easily met my needs for drinking and cooking. I keep several bottles of filtered water in the fridge and it's a treat to drink from them. My water is from a well and tastes (and possibly is) terrible before filtering. My Berkey is a dual filtration system with the carbon filters taking out all of the really bad stuff and the ceramic filters taking out the chlorine, floride, and the like. Does AquaRain do both?
I have to get one of those. I think every household should own one. What great piece of mind it gives to know you can get water anywhere in a time of emergency. Thanks for sharing.
And one last question... as I live on city water, do you know off hand of any good fluoride removal techniques besides RO. I have been looking but it is rather pricy and Berky's system replaces fluoride with aluminum or related metals. Thanks for all your time and effort for us all. By the way I have no idea how your channel draws so many ignorant childish comments, you do a great job.
I'll have to check and see how these fair to the pro-pure in reguards to filtering out flouride. Good video.
To my knowledge and research, distillation will remove/kill much of the bad stuff...but it also removes much of the good minerals. Your best bet would be to look into your local AO's pollution maps and plan accordingly. Our area, while very rural, is plagued by pollution from old industries and agriculture before all the regulations came into place. Much of our ground water has been contaminated...luckily my wife works for the city so I have some good inside info. Our city uses aeration.
You can distill your water to remove everything from minerals, chlorine and even fluoride. While i can appreciate that it costs energy to do... it would be very interesting to see a comparison of costs between distilling your water and using a filter.
Amen to your speech! That's good stuff. The Berkey filters don't seem to last very long for us. I have a set of four plus the fluoride filters. The black ones just don't seem to filter that long even with cleaning them periodically so I ordered a set of ProPur filters to try them out. Even with filtering out the rain barrel water.

Depends what you're dealing with.... Separating alcohol from water is fairly simple as there is 30 odd deg difference... The danger comes when you have something toxic which has a boiling point "close" to water, making accurate equipment more important. There aren't too many things close to water I'd have to worry about in any water around here....
If you live in a Coal Seam Gas area this might be another story.
I second that. I live in an apartment (or will live in one, in a week) and plan on building one myself so I would definitely be interested in picking up some tips.

Mr. Wranglerstar you captivate me on every video
Been watching, and Listening to your Vid's. Thank you for sharing this Video. My self and a fellow friend both own Land out in the Nevada Desert and he has the other brand of water filter that you mentioned in your vid and he advised me to invest into a water filter. So now I'm taking heed to this very seriously. Again thank you..
Thanks for the great advice! What kind of filter do you use in the field? Is there an equally good water bottle filter that will filter non-potable water?
Thanks for taking the time to show and explain this product
I would agree with you on everything about preparing for future disasters, but only if you'd preface your point with environmental factors. I wouldn't predict a major disaster, or prioritize any preparation for one where I'm currently at, but I can see this being a very necessary thing for someone living in rural areas. In those situations, essentials are all very delicate parts of an 'ecosystem', where if one fails everything else will fail (read: death). But living in city environments, you can most certainly depend on others or as a collective on survival. How that'd perform in practice I'm unsure, but theoretically it's feasible.
Now, as for this being a long term solution in case of total collapse of society, I have to mention that filters are not reusable and will stop functioning. In a indefinite survival situation, you want an infinite resource, never finite.
I think prioritizing family safety and survival is great, but being too fatalistic about these things isn't very helpful. Spending all your savings on a water filter, even in a bad economy, shouldn't be high on everyones priority list if they're not dependent on everything working in their little 'ecostystem'. As I said, your priorities depend on environmental factors.
Read a few reviews on Amazon and for the price you only get a 1 year warranty. Primary complaint was the bottom unit was splitting.
nice ... there is solar destiller ... can be home made with wood , glass and a few other nick nacks ...pvc ...
Hello sir,
The question is, do you still use/recommend this filter, or have you gone to another filter? Your time would be greatly appreciated. Roger
i for one realy like your video's and your attitude about life & whats important for survival--keep it going, thanks
Think this is a must have for any household. Thanks 👍
i Think I Know The Answer To this, But I'll ask Anyway ---- this Does not Remove Floride ??
From What i Understand,The Only Way To Remove It is A reverse osmosis filter ?? !!
Good vid !!
Great video. Btw, awesome view from your backyard!!!
You, sir, are awesome! :)
Actually, you probably could build the outer shell from wood with tongue and groove joinery and steel hoops like a barrel. Probably not much cheaper though with the cost of lumber. But if you can mill your own might be a lot cheaper.
Cody is right!! Gas will burn through those stoves without any problem.
I have been researching the Berkey, Aqua Rain, Katadyn, Pro Pure, and a host of other systems. What was it that lead you to this brand, and have you had any issue with leaks where the filters connect? I have heard a lot of complaints on the Berkys about filters breaking from the base but none from the Aqua Pure; I have a feeling that's probably user error. What method do you use to protect against viruses if any, "you might not have that issue in your location"
I understand what your saying, but unless concrete is a lot more where you live than where I live ($95y3) than it should not cost that much if you do it yourself. The tank walls are only about 4" thick on the one at work, and it's about 6' in diameter and 8-10' tall. I'll have to calculate the amount of concrete involved but can't be more than 4-5 yards max. I bet this could be built for about half what you think including the filter system and the inner tank. I don't have an inner tank cause
FYI...Neither the AquaRain nor the Berkey will filer out fluoride without the additional fluoride filters.
Your home is beautiful. Wow.
I'm wondering if three holes were plugged and just one filter was used. Fill it before bed and done in the morning? 2+ gallons? If it was for only one or two people, this could add to longer clean water supply.
I appreciate all the information you're sharing.....thank you
Good vid, I like the last bit. Thanks
Great review and some good points. Thanks.
"lower boiling point than water and so cannot be distilled away"
If they have a lower boiling point then, by definition they boil off before the water. Just gotta not start collecting until you've reached the temp of your target. i.e. 100C for water
Yes, I understand that distillation removes good minerals, but does it also remove VOCs? I can always add minerals back in w/ supplements my main concern would be that I not poison my family w/ chemical VOCs. Will distillation remove them or, since they ARE Volitile, do they merely evaporate and re-condense along with the water?
ceramic filters will not remove EVERYTHING but it does remove quite a bit. VOC's are one things that cannot be removed with simple filters...but they are also not going to kill you over night.
I like your take on it, Brother. - Mike
Thanks again cody. I know its not ideal but i live in an apartment. I was wondering if you could provide some insight to alternative heating solutions for small apartment style homes?
You can run the same water system on two filters just as good, right? You can save the other two filters as back up too.
Good info. Just ordered one today
I have a similar personal filter from REI.This cost more than the one you have, and its only hand held.
I remember Sootch00 did a review on one of these filters a while back. I am going to get one within a few months.
I agree with all of what you have to say, you're one smart guy.
ceramic = clay (unless some high-tech concoction), same concept. There is no "small hole" but the whole substance if porous and water slowly makes it way through leaving behind things larger than the "holes". Can make your own outta a terracotta pot or something.
I didn't think these filters would remove flouride. Is that correct?
I've been researching these systems as well. I was going to purchase a Berkey and then came across a thread discussing filters falling apart and failing to pass the red food coloring test. I'm still looking for a solid system.
I pay 60GBP a month for drinking water in UK. 300USD even if you have to change it every year would still be cheaper!
I am going to order me one of those.. Good video..
I wonder if this would work for my water. The water that comes from our point well makes us sick, kills cats, may of made our dog so sick we had to put him down. I had a bad allergic reaction too, my eyes glazed over and I was blind in one until I got allergy eye drops. We had one of those brita filters thought it was working then we switched to spring water within a week we felt so much better. No more eye drops and the cats are healthy. Right now we get our water from the filter machine at the store for $0.45 a gallon because the free spring dried up. I'd say it's about $200 per year total, so a year or two this would pay for itself.
how long Ceramic water filters last?
Whoops! Thanks Cody, We just ordered the Berky travel model because you made me realize how dumb it is not being prepared.
Thanks Mr.Wranglerstar
Can't you clean the filters instead of buying new ones?
I'd buy a MSR Guardian before I'd buy one of these. Of course the Guardian wasn't out when he made this video. It uses a similar style filter, but it's in a small portable housing with a pump on it. It filters everything including viruses. And it only cost $350, I've seen it online under $300.
how do you know when the filter is no longer effective ?
Thank you. I agree with you. Our priorities are out of order in this nation.
do you still have/use this?
nice chemtrail in the background
You cant use that to filter salt water right?
WE use a Berkey and have 5 yrs of extra filters, Berkey was requested by Her Royal Highness to clean water, even from the Filthy River Thames!! Berkey is what the missiionaries take to the Jungles and swamps!! I use it daily and Berkey is the oldest and most tested..
Don't forget the fluoride filters if you are on city water.
Great tube thanks!
Great advice!
Two thumbs up, spot on.
;-)
So nothing gets rid of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)? How about distillation?
that was awsome and so correct your a smart guy
great idea, Just paypal me the $3000 for concrete and i'll get a start on it.
No, that isn't a lot of money for clean drinking water.. It's a damn good investment..
..... When SHTF, there will be no getting replacement parts.. Consider how many people will be using th system and but back-up parts accordingly..
Thanks Cody, we
10:50 - 11:50 should be required viewing for every male over the age of 22.
Man Ill bet meteor showers are amazing when viewed from your property!!
i like it THANKS !!!
what about virus they are too small to filter
yeah i got the berkey a few months ago
well said sir!
What are you getting ready for?
He's not getting ready for anything, he lives on a homestead and has spring water which sometimes needs to be filtered for drinking. He merely stated it would be good for someone who had lost electricity and needed to gather water or just had a bad well.
