Hey Haxmaniacs, check out the new "Become Ungovernable" merch here 👉www.thehaxman.com
OK I have the white filters on the bottom of my Berkey and somebody told me that it might Leach aluminum? Have you heard anything about this? also I don’t think I have to worry about fluoride and arsenic in my well water? So I might skip that and just go w RO? I need to buy two big rain catchment systems also
I got lost in a corn field when I was 13. Ended up in a big cow pasture still lost. followed the fence line for what felt like miles. I was so thirsty I drank muddy water from a hoof print. Found the cows water about 30 minutes later and drank that. Guess I was lucky I didn't get sick lol. Best water I ever drank.
Do you play that music at the beginning of the video when you've gotta poop and you're trying to find a bathroom that isn't occupied by a family member?! LOL
Why would I want to become ungovernable? Without government, there is just anarchy, rule of the strongest and technological stagnation while physically weak people perish.
When your walking down the road and you start to lose your load DIARRHEA ! When your climbing up a ladder and you feel something Splatter DIARRHEA !
Growing up, our family fished, hunted, and grew our own food to supplement our food bill. Needless to say, we spent a lot of time outside, in the forests and mountains. My dad taught me how to procure water, filter it, and, sanitize the water.
Filter was pebbles, sand, and dried grass.
To sanitize it, simply boil it. I'm in my late 60s and I have used this method all my life and never have I or anyone else gotten sick. My father taught me bushcraft at a very early age. As a kid, I always thought it was just plain fun. But looking back on it, he was preparing me for hard times.
Thanks Dad. I miss ya...
Can you do a video for us to learn this method ?
I wish my dad had taught me something like that
@@kimc2302
Poke a hole in a plastic water bottle top. Cut the bottom off of it and turn in upside down. Put a small cloth to cover the hole. Then add a layer of your finest substance, preferable ground charcoal. Then sand. Then pebbles. Add water. Get purified water. Should still boil to kill any bacteria that comes through.
It's lovely that your dad taught you how to do that, you should do a video, I for one would love to learn how to do that, and in that respect your dad lives on due to the activities of others that were fortunate enough to learn from your father's gift ❤❤
My family does a similar filtration, pebbles, sand, and charcoal.
I have something to add. When I was in Iraq there was a scientist I had befriended, he worked for KBR. We were at Camp Warrior Kurkuk. He sent off samples of plastic, and water samples. These water bottles were loaded onto pallets and exposed to the sun all day, every day, untill consumed. The labs came back stating the plastic that made up the disposable water bottles were leaching into the water. The plastic was like a 20 letter word. It proved the water we consumed either civilian contractors, military personnel were puting this plastic in our bodies. He went to the camp manager of the base. They fired him, and sent him back to the states. So drinking from disposable water bottles is not healthy what so ever! The reverse osmosis water puryification is the best, but you need 40 lbs of water pressure for it work. It goes thru either five to seven pre filters with the reverse osmosis membrane being the last filter. You forgot one free method of drinking water. When it rains from the sky, if you inspect that water with a TDS meter, total total desolved solids. You will learn it will read 0. If you test a glass of tap water depending your location and water company, you will get 350-550 ppm, parts per million. Soif you have a food grade five gallion plastic bucket with a large funnel. You can collect water from a heavy rain fall, and have clean drinking water. Also in a survival mode, your tank to your comode, you can drink and cook with this water. As long as you do not have the toilet bowel blue tablet in there!
A good reverse water filter system you can find on line at aquarium stores. They can provide 200-300 gallions every 24 hrs. For about $350-450. The filters will last about one year. One method to test your water for clarity, get a ice tray, fill with your tap water, put in freezer. Once frozen hard inspect the ice cube, it will be white. Do the same with a reverse osmosis water filter. The ice cube will be mostly clear! I love you my brother, I am the same marine that commented on your water well!
I have heard that the reverse osmosis filtration process will not remove the estrogen from birth control pills. The estrogen will be bad for children......O'My Jesus forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven especially those who have most need of thy mercy. Amen....Hail Mary full of grace the lord is with thee, Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus, Holy Mary Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
@@charlesdayon8420 not true, who ever told you this has lied to you big time!
There are apparently a few plastics that do not leach into water or food, even when they are heated.
Leaving pallets of water in the sun for days on end is pure negligence. It encourages the growth of algae and any bacteria in the water, as well is increasing any leaching problem.
Reverse osmosis will purify water, but you really should put minerals back in after the process. You should be getting minerals from water. If not when you drink that water with little to no minerals then your body will lose minerals to that water as it equalizes and then you'll pee out more minerals than you take in. It's the same reason you shouldn't drink distilled water.
@@JohnsonJLB distilled water is dead water, use that for your vehicle radiator and heating iron. Reverse osmosis water will remove the minerals, but you get minerals from fresh produce and fresh fruits. Fluoride and other chemicals in your tap water will be removed. A proper operating system will get your water down to 0 ppm. I have also noticed you no longer can smell the chlorine in your tap water after going thru reverse osmosis!
My wife, 4 kids (2 years - 16 years old) and I came down w dysentery in Cuba. I honestly thought we were going to die. Especially my little one. I took around 4 days to get better for each of us. Was the worse thing I ever felt.
I have had a Berkey for years and love it. We just lived through hurricane Ian here in Florida and was so glad we had our Berkey. Charlotte county told everyone to boil their water because the city water was contaminated. We used our Berkey without boiling our water and we were just fine. Our neighbors on the other hand had to buy bottled water.
Berkey is being sued right now. They lied about what they filter out and their testing. If it's not NSF Certified don't buy it. Berkey claims they don't have the money to NSF certify, even though New Millennium Concepts (New Berkeys real name) is making huge sums of money off the people that don't research before they buy.
My dad got dysentery while in the Korean War. His unit was pinned down in a rice paddy for a couple of days while waiting for an air strike. They got so thirsty they drank the rice patty water using the purification tablets. The dysentery almost killed him.
So those '50s vintage GI purification tablets in my old boy scout kit are not reliable?🤢🤮🤢
Yeah my pop flew F-4s so your pop may have been waiting on mine for the sortie to come his way .
Wow my pop used to farm rice…so his pop may have been in my pops rice paddy whilst waiting for your pop to fly in…what a coincidence
People like you have a problem with every solution Big baby.
HEROES
This guy seems like a good time at a party and could save ur life in an emergency
Don't forget his old lady she's definitely a hoot.
Can't thank you enough for the filter referral and the DIY option. As well as, all of the information you provide in an entertaining and sincere manner.
I bought some knockoffs too but got the AquaCrest brand because they have awesome reviews on their Reverse Osmosis systems, so I figured they knew what they were doing when it comes to manufacturing good water filters. I believe those were around $80-$90 for a 4 pack.
@@THEGLASSMANSWORLDHi! This is an old comment, so sorry for replying. However, I wanted to ask if these held up long term against mold!
@@loveyourselfdearest I just set up our system only a month or two ago. I went Live on my channel showing how I set it up!
I love the inexpensive setup with two 5-gallon buckets and water filters; that looks a lot cheaper than many of the disaster water solutions I've seen. Thanks much. If I for some reason cannot get water out of both my wells, I keep lots of fairly clean water in my 1 acre farm/fish pond that I could put in the 5 gallon bucket filter setup.
That opening scene drinking from that creek gave me the shivers...
My uncle Eddie got dysntary in the Korean war but it actually saved his life . He had a bad bout of it so he was not allowed to go . So just his unit went. The next day when he got up, there was his unit hanging naked and gutted in the trees by their camp. No one not even the guards heard a thing. My uncle Eddie was sent back early. He was never the same.
Communist savages. Glad your uncle made it out at least
Its true, I was one of those dude's guts
Dude that sounds just like the movie
"Predator " weird but that sucks your dad had to see that I can understand finding your friends like that can change a man for the worse
I don't believe you. I don't think you were lied to either. I think you are lying.
Never had the idea of making a Berkey style filtration system out of buckets like that. Awesome video. Thank you!
Lifestraw as an emergency filter is good. Another TH-camr / scientist put the filtered water from a lifestraw under a microscope and couldn’t find anything, I.e it was totally clean. They’re great in emergency situations. Like you say you can collect the water in a “dirty” container (kept for this purpose) to filter when you need.
Lifestraw would be great if you collected water in another container and drank from there
My grandma used to filter the water by using clean sand, rocks and coconut fibres and put them in a ceramic container. Drill a hole on the side of the ceramic container and add a 2 inch pipe. Let it drip to bucket and use it for cooking. Note, you can build another ceramic container as the items listed and filter the water the 2nd time to get purified water.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them)…
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).

I'd love to see the results of water lab tests for each of the different options as compared to the source of water.
I second this, or get a simple $20 PSI stick and test the water afterwards on the fly.
@Dante Toshiro64 It'd make a great video.
I add Kool aid powder to my water. Makes it taste "good".
That would crash the compact water purifier industry.
Seems the Berkey leaches aluminum. So not very good
I went one step further with my home made filter. I filter it twice, the first filter is a ceramic filter to pull out sediment, then second stage is the black berkey type filter. Makes the good filters last longer. I used cheap stainless steel pots that cost about $10 each.
Those last two examples changed Everything for me
Thank you very much good sir 🙏🏾
I was hiking one day 7 months pregnant. Got turned around. Very lost for hours and hours. I was so thirsty. Was by a stream. Water was moving but not very fast but I had to drink . It tasted awful but I was so thirsty and I was hoping because it was a moving stream I'd be ok I was. Thank god
giardia at the very least anyone? folklore ain't science
GOD not God there are many
Next time don't go hiking alone, pregnant & without alife straw! If you've got a clear plastic bottle you can leave it under the hot sun for 5-6 hours & that should sterilize it in an emergency!
I'd get tested if I were you to ensure your baby's ok? Helicobacter pylori bacterium lurks in untreated water. That bacterial growth can affect your stomach long term making you prone to stomach cancer. A symptom is vomiting. A simple breath test can determine if you've been infected. 🤗💜
@@rabokarabekian409 Crypto also! (not bitcoin)
Why would anyone go hiking and don't have plenty of bottle of water.⁉️ And why would anyone go hiking 7 months ⁉️⁉️⁉️
For the last method, clear glass is FAR safer to use for the container rather than plastic. It's too difficult to tell whether it's breaking down and leeching into the water or not.
When my mom stored milk out of a container, she swore by glass. Mom always knows.
I agree. I make wine and fermenting in plastic is a sketchy practice because it is porous and you can't guarantee that your product wont be contaminated no matter how much you clean it. Always glass!
Even if you have environmentally stable plastic, that does not denature in the presence of nominal levels of temperature and light, microorganisms do break down plastic.
If you truly think that this is negligible, well, I can't help you fix your judgement, priorities, or recklessness. But, you can't say I am wrong when I point out that no microorganism can break down glass.
I'm so glad that a lot of people know this, I'm seeing other comments like this. Plastic still leaches into water out of the sun, just at a slower rate. But leaving it in the sun will definitely speed up the plastic leaching into your water.
Sorry to burst your bubble but glass wouldn't work well for last method and if you're in a situation were need to do this the leeched microplastics are least of your worries.
Not all UV is created equally. UV-B and UV-C are what you need for sterilization. The atomsphere blocks virtually all the more effective UV-C and only lets about 5% of B through. Glass even clear optical glass just happens to block almost all UV-B as well. This is why you won't get a sunburn if nap next to a window on a sunny day
I have watched a LOT of prepper videos over the year and yours are by far the most helpful of all. Thank you so much!!!
The information that he gives at the end is super important. Knowing where to get water and cleaning it might be the best chance you got if shtf.
Years ago I did the food coloring test on a Berkey system, it failed. I switched to Aquacera with CeraMetix filters and it passed the food coloring test with ease. I kept the Berkey pots and just used them with the Aquacera filters.
Yea Berky is a scam. They aren't NSF certified and they are being sued now over their claims. What they sell is $2 extruded carbon sticks and claim it filters out everything and sell it to people for 100s of dollars. I have a bunch of the CeraMetix and it is good, but I preferred the Ceracarb. It basically just added carbon impregnated on the ceramic.
when I was a kid I used to drink out of random creeks and streams and a couple different lakes. I'm not sure why I never got sick but I wouldn't dare do that now.
Same with me. I even use to drink out of a Ditch that 2 miles upstream was coming from a GOLF Course, and we KNOW how contaminated that had to be with all of the Chemicals they use. Never have had any issues. I still drink right out of "most" rivers that I fish in. Still, NO ISSUES to this day. :~)
@@codybanks9944 a guy did a video of some people in hazmat suits putting poison in a creek.He just happened to be walking thru there. There were dead fish all around them and when he asked Why they said they had to get rid of the small mouth bass but it was killing all fish. So yeah we may need some heavy duty water filters if our own government is poisoning creeks that run into lakes. And I'd be very careful. I don't know What state it was.
Me too. In the early 60s as a youngster I would drink out of creeks, lakes, etc in upstate New york. Don't remember any problems. I may of acclimated my system through the years as even today I'm known to have an iron gut. Or should say a resistance to what most cannot handle. My wife would get frustrated as I rarely would get ill whenever one else is sick as a dog. Gotta love it. PS. Never kept my kids from getting "dirty" or similiar, as today they have a great immune system too
@@gregakrey4986 Yes, all of this "Safety" nonsense has weakened most people. Physically and Mentally. Ugh...Grr..
As a teen, my friends and I would barge Yosemite. We were up there ALL the time. One trip, I drank out of Bridal Veil Falls…and got giardia. I thought I was going to die. I was so sick. Water purification is key to your health and most importantly your survival. Get tis product.
Thank you so much for your multiples videos....Really APPRECIATE your help in so many ways to get the info needed to live the best that we can and use your multiple suggestions/ways to better so many critical issues in everyday challenges. PLEASE keep up the good work AND THANK YOU for your PRECIOUS help
Fun fact: Pressure cook wood (or just you know put wood in a pot solo and heat) you find fallen from your trees in your back yard till black, then crush it into a powder and squirt the blackened remains with a little lemon juice, vinegar or bleach, and reheat it at a high temp...and you wind up with the same stuff those filters are made of. Don't -ever- pay money for something as easily acquired and valuable as activated charcoal. Stuffs good for dealing with poisoning and for making toothpaste too.
And if you need water filtration, on the cheap, and by cheap I mean essentially free? Get a barrel, load it with your fancy schmancy activated charcoal at the bottom, then spread play sand on top of it, then small pebbles above that, then small rocks over that, then larger rocks atop that...THEN...drill a hole in the bottom, that drips into, you guessed it, another barrel filled with the same stuff...you then wind up with a filtration system that does the same darned thing. Chemistry and filtration 101...better living through science.
Don't ever pay people money for stuff that, quite frankly requires machined parts to spec....makes you dependent on that company for the replacement of filters...which in 'end of times' situations, won't exactly be machining you new parts. Much less shipping them to your location. Best way to survive, is to know how to do the chemistry yourself...especially if you expect there to be no society left, to help you. Or...you know in generalized emergency situations.
how do you keep the charcoal from leaking out of the hole in the bottom? and how do you put on barrel on top of the other?
yes, Im a real blonde .. hope this doesnt sound too stooooo-pid..
I truly do want to know?
@@BEAUTYnIQ I know this comment is a year old, but you can use cloth, cotton pads/balls, or probably the very best option, a few coffee filters. That'll prevent your charcoal or other filter substances from draining out with the water.
@@iamnotafraid wow.
how terrific you responded after so long.. thanQ!
I recommend a coffee pour over filter (for 1 cup coffee type with paper filter). ... to be used as a cheap prefilter for water before put thru main water purification system. That way main system lasts longer and not junked up by larger stuff in water.
If you have one, I agree. If not, a tshirt or towel can filter lots of particles out.
Both great ideas filters, and t shirts preferably new, and washed?
Your editing is remarkable. I too have one of the Berkeys and I have mine on the counter so the grand kids can have all the fresh water they want. Thanks for the heads up on the knock-off filters👍🏾I'm going to try this DIY Berkey filter system
I love the Berkey I bought after reading my city quality of tap water report. There is a red and white residue on my dish rack tray that I don't want to be drinking. Berkley also has fluoride filters if you want to cut down on the amount you are ingesting everyday.
A good thing about burnt wood aka charcoal.. It naturally cleans the water from micro organisms. Just line the bottom of your container with it. And filter it through to a smaller container with more charcoal. As you transfer the water back to the big tank it cleans it twice.. My grandfather had an old well. That was a way that his father showed him how to clean water here..
We have a 55 gallon plastic barrel. I plan to site barrel up on blocks or logs and drill a hole or two in the bottom & then cut enough wood to burn and make enough charcoal to fill the barrel ⅓ to ½ with small to medium sized charcoal. The finer inches of charcoal dust should settle & collect at the bottom of the barrel...and then put a fine garden mesh over the charcoal and almost fill the barrel to within 4-6" with fine, well rinsed sand from the creek. We plan to filter & drink this creek water that runs pretty fast most of the time. Another layer of the garden mesh on top would help shield against bugs & flies, leaf litter, pollen & other foreign matter.... If anyone has thoughts of this not working well or working better with additional back woods technologies. Our family would certainly appreciate any comments you good folks would care to share with us! Thank You!

@@jeanniek1498 yes another just like you
I did the same thing but used 3 filters, they filter very slowly. Much better filters than most . Buckets can sometimes be obtained from a fast food chain, especially if you make friends with the manager, and they are food grade. Filters from amazon. I got the spigot from a sun tea jar from goodwill. Super cheap:)
@@HAXMAN I have a Berkey and tried off brand filters. They drained much slower and didn't last as long.
Found your channel today and been on a binge of your videos and can honestly say as a brit your videos are incredible thank you for all the time you take to make these videos 👌
Always respect Terry. You don't want to die from dissin' Terry.
Use the filter bag. Wait the suggested time. Release the solids. Then open the carbon spout and release the water through a clean, tight-knit cloth or t-shirt into a container, then drink.
Done & done! 😁 💧
Edit: Wouldn't hurt to boul it over a fire first, if time allows.

Or use some sort of pre-filter before putting the water in the bag. Both probably.
In 1975 two microbiologists from University of Michigan came up with a sewage treatment system. They named it after their eldest kids. Kelmik. It was a combination of an alkalizer and a flocculant like that pack you used. It removed everything including virii. The resulting solids were sterile and useful as fertilizer. If I were to get that bag system I would first add a very small bit of lye, mix it up, an then add the packet.
Both naming their kid Kelmik had to be awkward AF.
Could you tell the reason for the lye?
@@Ja2808R It'll kill the bacteria, but I'm pretty sure it would turn into soap. Soap can give you diareah, but idk if a tiny amount just doesn't matter er what.

Thank you for this channel. I live in hurricane country and have been prepping for years. Hurricane Ian gave me the opportunity to use all I have to keep myself, family and friends safe during a scary time. Never stop being prepared...it can save lives. 😊
You’re doing Gods work my friend . Keep it up because I’m sure all your survival videos will come in handy especially this winter for many . God bless you and thanks . P.S you’ll soon be getting many subs .
Love the work you do on your video's. Something for you. Filters take the chunks out. Purifiers sterilize. Two different things though they are combined in several products. Read the fine print, it may save your life. Life Straw says it's a filter only in the fine print. Be well
Im really glad ive found your channel. Things are extremely bad here in South Africa now and its getting worse by the day.
Thank you for your awesome upload and for helping💚

Stay safe everyone in S-A! Greetings from a Dutch in Hungary
I have a LifeStraw and I use it when our local water company gives boil notices. WHO does a lot of clean water projects around the world. The sun works for 'most' pathogens. As someone who has lived many years in a developing nation this is not considered a safe option. I am also not into letting water bake in one of those bottles, warnings not to let them bake in your car. I now use glass and just refill from the tap. Absolutely great idea on the alternate Burkey, I'm going to try that. Also noticed there are used ones online. The US and many other places are getting weather changes that create situations where flood water or snow are the sources of water. Sometimes there is very little sunlight or even electricity for days. I used cat litter buckets to gather snow to melt and then boil but there are times when boiling is not an option, so I am planning a larger filter system. The thing I like about your DIY is that when not in use one bucket could be tucked inside the other. If you do another video with water test results or maybe there is a lab that would do them for you that would be cool to see.
Loved the DIY berky hack. Definitely been looking for something like this. I live in Fl where water is everywhere, but unsafe to drink without treatment. One thing that's never discussed is how to tell if the water is safe other than just looking clear. Are there test strips or some other reliable methods for checking the saftey of the water after filtration?
Haxman,
This is, if not the best, definitely in the top five, incredibly educational and entertaining. I will be sharing it with family and friends. Thanks for your time putting this together...Abe
Love your energy and sense of humor. This is the first video of yours that I've watched and I really like your delivery. Especially showing how the puri bag was doing while talking about the promo. Thank you for this content!!!! I'll be buying some of this. Right now I'm in Florida during hurricane Ian but I was in Puerto Rico during Irma and María and a lot of people got sick drinking dirty water. I'm definitely sending some of this to my family members who are still living in the island and at this time recovering from hurricane Fiona.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them)…
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).

I love those red pumps. They had them at the campgrounds when I was a kid and we went camping. Your show is good. You're funny. Your wife is, too. Great teamwork. Refreshing.
Thank you. This is the best review that I have seen of water purification systems.
I suffered from bouts of amoebic dysentery for four months until we realized the ice maker was drawing water straight from the city water line. All the rest of the water we used was processed through a dozen water purifiers. As a Southerner, I used lots of ice. That was the cause of my illness. 🧐
That was in 1994, Sofia, Bulgaria. I truly hope things are better now for them.
Oh my gosh this might be what is my problem. I need to change the filter!!! Thx
Also a good reason not to use ice in foreign countries.
You can drink the water from most mains taps in Bulgaria these days. Most treated with chlorine. But as I don't like the chlorine smell I usually filter it with a Berkley before drinking
!
Most ice machines in everyplace is nasty. If you saw, you would never use ice again.
@@mikelawton1920 I'm glad to hear that. If you never experienced living there during communism, you could never understand. Technically, communism didn't exist in Bulgaria in 1994. But, you would have to be a total fool to believe that. Too much to try to type to explain....
I save my old Berkey filters, which provided 10 years of service. Use old filters with two 5-gallon buckets as a primary filter, if you have to use surface water or murky well water.
Then the clear, but not necessarily clean water can be transferred to a Berkey or Berkey like unit for final filtration. This will save your most effective filters and cistern from needing constant cleaning. Make sure to rinse the primary filter reservoirs after use, so as not to have particulate build up.
Everyone should look into personal/portable water filtration equipment before drinking from an unknown water source! Great informative video!
I use my Berkey daily. My homestead has a well, but it is a hard water well. The difference between the general filter and the Berkey water is night and day. The replacement cartridges are not that expensive when you consider the costs of bottled water and 6 thousand gallons of water (two filters)... and if you use the generic filters and you REALLY save a lot of money.
I cannot tell the difference between generic and original Berkey filters. I can honestly say that the five years I have been using my stainless steel "Big Berkey" has never let me down.
I would still boil it for 15 min
😂😢 ?(-+'!' h,vn ,n. , , ,Muv

Man I can't believe I just recently found you. Good information, lots of options given and a hilarious delivery! Thank you.
You’re smart with your sponsor cause u put the results of the puribag next to it so we can’t skip over it
Just so you know, Waterdrop makes a filter like Berkey for waaaaay less cost. They will even use Berkey filters if you like. I've had mine for months and I love it! Great water!
I love how you have the ad and water purifying at the same time. It kept me from skipping the ad. Smart.
Always entertaining and great content. I have always been around men who knew how to do this kind of building/creating from an idea. I've been a widow for a while now and my dad passed, so I have learned to do a lot on my own, but I appreciate the clear instructions. Now to make the time to knock out some projects like this.
We have lifestraw water bottles with refill filters for each one and each filter is good for about 264 gallons. So each person in our family has a water bottle which will allow for 264 days of clean water for each member, since one person needs about 1 gallon of water per day for hygiene, food and hydration needs. I highly recommend them we have tested one out and it works great. They also stop the intake of water once they have gone bad. Lightweight, saves space, and could save your life. If you ever have to leave your home in a disaster can clip to your waist or bug out bags. You could do a review id love to see that.
Oh man this guy is great. His face when he said, IF YOU CANT TRUST THE WHO, WHO CAN U TRUST, 👍 ! Great videos!!!
Great information. I'm fortunate enough to have a deep well on 9 acres in South Carolina, a wood burning fireplace/stove, great neighbors and a 50cal. And my grandpa has a still.
Lucky Dog!!
I'm surprised you didn't venture into making activated carbon! Side note, about the lifestraw. They make those but like a water bottle. They're fantastic on long kayaking, hiking, fishing trips. You don't have to lug around drinks. Just the one bottle.
Thank you for just being honest nd straight forward in your thoughts and ideas
I'm going to try the little mini water bucket method to see how that works.
My son is going to build a rack that holds 3-55 gallon barrels but until then I'll keep trying different things from your videos. They're so informative and entertaining. Thank you.
If the column is higher, the pressure would be higher too, so water would flow faster.
Very good start on basic water , treatment . Great idea not complicating the process too much, Well done. First I was a Certified Water/Waste Water Treatment Operator for over 30 years so I have pretty good idea of how it’s done in a Municipal Treatment Plant. If a person has access to regular household bleach that would solve a big problem with disinfecting the water and killing the little Micro organisms that causes GIiardia which is the diarrhea or dysentery. Prefiltering with tee shirt material, coffee filter or a simple made sand filter, gets the TSS Total Suspended Solids out which can actually recontaminate your water . You can make gallons of Chlorine by picking up Chlorine used in swimming pools for disinfecting the water, it will store indefinitely. Great video, should really get people to thinking about how simple water treatment is with the bare essentials and right supplies.
Not too much though or you end up with diarrhea or death.
Like 2 drops per gallon
@The....
Food Grade Hydrogen peroxide-can get @35% strength-much healthier-need to dilute it WAY down-will last long long time-100's of good uses for it!
Whitest whites!
Good for nouth rinse-plants put 1-2 drops in juice-Read Ed McAbe Books on Oxygen & H202 Ozone purification
Excellent information
Premix to household chlorine then just a couple tablespoons of that. Also make sure the pool chlorine doesnt have any bromine or other nasty addities. Great fpr pool shock terrible fpr the body internally.
Please help tell me what may be: ALL my white plastics/other items with water exposure collect a brownish pinkish color! Kitchen water sprayer, dish strainer, kids urinal & more, toilet, drained in sinks… I even noticed this on other plastic water playground items turning colors as well. It began in Feb 2021- I’ve lived here for 7 years & this is the 1st issue I’ve had with the city water. It cleared up after about 3 months, then it came back 2x as hard in May 2022 & has not left this time. Is it the “regime” in that water treatment facility, or something worse, if possible?
I’ve been buying water since I seen that happen. When I wipe it off to clean & disinfect & it actually rubs off as some kind of dirty substance I’ve never seen when cleaning! It’s very odd & disturbing.
Thanks! Mebane, NC :)
Adding this to the to-do list. Thank you! This was a lot of work to put together. I really appreciate it.
Thanks Chris!
Thanks for the video. It takes time and guts to post videos . I appreciate your work. BTW here are a couple ideas for water pretreatment before filtering Alum and/or diatomaceous earth. Firtst 18:00 Pretreat the raw water in a sediment bag or bucket. Second remove the water from top down and the sediment from the bottom. Stage two add your sterilizing agent and wait a couple hours then filter the water . I boil all my water before drinking … yes even filtered water . Liver flukes and pinworms are not jokes.
How do you prime the charcoal cartridges without a sink? I'd add some clear tubing and a bottle to your kit to add pressure behind the water to clean/prime them for initial use.
Great video
Amazing video brother! Production quality, personality, and information presented could not be better. I see all of the hard work you put in to this video and all of your other videos. I would still watch even if you weren’t investing so much time into these. Appreciate you very much and god bless!

Salam (Peace) -
*I realize the subtext of this video is **_"Water purification that doesn't require electricity."_*
*However, assuming you have access to electricity - and, as a good prepper, why wouldn't you have a solar cell array - consider a water distiller. They can be found on Amazon for as low as $75; though I'd recommend spending a bit more (around $125) to get one that is UL listed and with a digital timer to shut off after a set time.*
*I have well water that is super heavy; not just with calcium, but iron, too. The water is visibly orange and absolutely disgusting to drink; probably not safe to drink long-term, either. I fill my water distiller, plug it in, set the timer, and 4 hours later I have 3 liters of distilled H20. Due to the water being boiled to produce steam which is then condensed back into liquid, it's sterilized; there are no bacteria or viruses. The condensate also passes through a carbon filter to remove VOCs (assuming there were any to begin with). At the end I'm left with nothing but pure, drinkable H20.*
*For those concerned about the lack of minerals, simply buy yourself a small bag of Himalayan Sea Salt. Adding 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of distilled water restores whatever mineral losses you may be concerned about without negatively impacting the flavor (i.e. you can't taste the salt).*
*Lastly, as the distiller pumps out a considerable amount of heat (after all, it **_IS_** boiling water for 4 hours), it can double as a space heater in the Winter for a small cabin. Win-win. If you got creative, you could probably even rig some kind of stand above the exhaust fan - while still allowing sufficient air flow - to heat (HEAT, not cook) food.*
*So, like I said in the opening, if you've got electricity, I think a water distiller is your best bet for the purest, safest possible drinking water.*
I love your videos. Not only are they informative but actually very funny. You are doing great work and I applaud your method.
I have the stuff to put together that berky knock off as well, bought about 3 years ago along with an 18 gallon still. I also have a counter top electric distiller that works wonderful. This winter I lost power for a total of a week and had to melt snow to make drinking water as well as bathroom flush water. Working on a back up set up for my furnace next. It's only a waste of time and money if you never need it. But when SHTF, having a back up plan can save your life.
There has been a lot of research using seeds from the Moringa tree to clean dirty / contaminated water .
The life straw and the P&G packets are nice for a week-long camping trip.
But if you want to be surviving for years without any other human contact, dig a well. The ground filters water and slowly introducing that water into your supply will get your body accustomed to it.
I know this because I lived in cities/suburbs up until I was about 26, and then I moved into a place I could afford out in the country, where they had only well water. The first day there drinking the tap water (which came straight from the well) I was sick as hell with the runs. So I decided to get bottled water to last me a week, and for every cup of bottled water I'd add a teaspoon of the well water. After only a month of doing that, I tried straight drinking the well water and was fine from then on.
Survival isn't about "getting the best products to help you", it's about acclimation and adaptation.
Tap water in 3rd world countries tend to pass the WHO standard of 250 ppm(AFAIK) , but give you kidney stones. Just because it doesn't make you sick immediately anymore doesn't mean its good.
This is excellent advice - thank you!
Or boil it to prevent biological contamination. Honestly, if you have a well, a filtration system is important. Even if it's a simple sand/charcoal barrel (if in a survival situation)
Never heard of having to adjust to well water
@@stevewinwood3674 TBH that sounds more like adjusting to contaminated well water.
I have an Alexapure and love it. Berkey or a knockoff is great for a family but the Alexapure is great for 1 or 2 people. 1 Filter lasts 5,000 gallons for $100. I also have well water to start with.
a little bit of alum also does a great job as a flocking agent. when I heard about that in grade 3 when we were talking about water sanitation for some reason.... I had to try since i had some for wound treatment on hand tried it out and worked great. It would leave a little bit of salty taste, very little, but worked.
Thank you for just being straight forward and honest about things and not trying to feed us with fear!
Good point, he does a great job at being fair, objective.
He literally improperly used the 1st product to "sell" you on his narrative. Adding in handfuls of sediment/mud and debris was flatly against the instructions and he did so to reach the conclusion he wanted to. It's shameful and misleading. Don't thank him for it please.
@@SM-McKraken and he didn't want to drink from the bag either. Very lame review on both products.
@@SM-McKraken tell this old grey mare what the most affordable (homemade) filtration system is.. Iv read a few posts where they got food grade 5 gal buckets and sand/charcoal.. some said coffee filters..?? isnt there anything or anway to just dig deep and get naturally purified water?
please do tell..
Very cool! I wonder why you did not show distilling water as an option. One could filter the water bottle with a hankerchief (to remove solids, then boil it with a loop of copper to another pot. It would be 99.99% safe and renewable in an emergency situation (eg Hurricanes). Keep up the great content!
Thanks! I’m going to do at least one more video showing more methods.
You can also make distilled water without the hassel of copper wirering.. just using two pots in eachother and a lid with ice to help the process go faster.. you can also use sea water to create drinking water this way..
@@heatherpoirier6351 if you have access to ice……. Do you really need to worry about drinking swamp water?
@@MrSheckstr nope lol but you can use the swamp water to make ur ice.. its purpose is solely to help make the condensation process faster for pure water. But ice is not needed. And its something one could use snow instead of ice. Rain water and snow still need to be filtered. Heavy metals are still in those.
@@HAXMAN The side benefit is that if you have the materials to make bread you just add more water, wait a few days then run that through the still. Then you have the makings.. of.. uh.. Hand Sanitizer, yeah cleaning your hands that's what you do with that magical fluid.
LOVED your program!
Thanks!
Entertaining and very informative!
Great to know. Most survival food kits require mixing with water, so in order to eat you have to have water and for drinking as well. I like your Berkey knock off plan. Thanks for the tips.
That's why purchasing expensive long-term food is only necessary if you're planning for years in the future. Otherwise canned goods have everything you need. And go far beyond the expiration date if storage dry and cool.
Long-term food should only be used after everything else has been exhausted.
If bugging out with freeze dried food you not only have to find water to rehydrate but you're going to have to heat it as well. And if in the forest doing so, you'll be surrounded by 10 million scared, hungry, desperate individuals, or Worse groups doing the same.
And the weekend hiker who thinks he can live off the land? LOL
Likely the only wild animals found after a couple days will be humans.
Thanks for sharing! The LifeStraw (waterbottle version) would be best for me when I go camping or hiking. I loved the split screen w/ ad and filter progress. Very creative!
55 Gallon drum, 1 spigot, 10 gallons of river rock, 10 gallons of sand, 10 gallons finely ground lump charcoal (not pellets or briquettes). You can look up the details of how to build, use, and maintain the system.
One can use a dehumidifier as well. If you can run a line attached to a solar panel, as long as there is sun, you can run that thing and store the water in a safe container. Be sure to clean it regularly to keep away mold
Well going to find out how good my water prep is over the next few days. Live about 3 miles inland of Clearwater beach and for now, ground zero for Hurricane Ian. for my prep, I have a 100 gallon water bladder for my tub, 10, 5-gallon water cooler bottles that I cleaned out and sanitized via a capful of bleach and sitting out in the sun all day yesterday. I have a hand-pump that fits those bottles. I found this approach to be easier than trying to fight for 50 20-oz bottles of water.
Also remember if you have electric water heaters, that is a freshwater source too. I have 2, 50 gallon heaters so that means I have another 100 gallons of water ready to go.
I have several lifestraws as a plan C if things get "really different" here.
Don't forget rainwater collection, you can start off with a much cleaner source which will help keep the filters clean.
I got some small backwashable Sawyer filters for my kids, and a larger one for myself. They seem to work great, lightweight, and compact too.
Our rain water has been contaminated with silver iodine. We screwed in the long run
it collects debris washing over roofs and gutters and can support algea growth, molds, and other icky things. If you leave it open you can get all manner of contaminates like bird and animal feces and mosquito breeding... so gross. Many really bad viruses in that
God bless You 🙏🏼🧿🤲💝 thank you so much for sharing

greetings from Germany, keep up doing the good work ✌and thx again
I made a 3 gallon still. It is pretty small. That should take care of my wife and I for what we need to drink every day. My boil pot can be opened and cleaned out. I laid on extra tubing in case it gets clogged. I have tested it and the water comes out clean. I made a brick rocket stove to heat the water and with some junk angle iron, made a stand to go over the rocket stove to hold my boiling pot.
Unglazed porcelain pottery has been used for water filtration. It has a porosity that let's water through but not contaminants. Some even come with a silver colloid coating to further enhance its efficacy against pathogens.
In old colonial , Spanish times, they used a stone to filter water. Nowadays people used them for decoration.. The stone would filter the water into a tin underneath.
It's nice for bacteria, large particles and the likes, but it doesn't even remotely come close to the purification performance of a real water filter.
... we also have inexpensive charcoal filter systems that can be made for pennies... just stack from the bottom to the top, fabric, charcoal, sand, grass and gravel on top of each other then pour dirty water in the container and wait for it to drain through.
@@jackasshomey grass? Not soil?
@@lorirode-off763 yea grass, just look up basic DIY charcoal filters you can make one in a water bottle easily just as a proof of concept.
Just wanted to check in with y’all and make sure you were ok and safe! That was one hell of a storm! Sending Blessings!!
Thank you. It skirted by us thankfully. Just some wind and rain.
Not sure how I went down this rabbit hole but it really makes me appreciate it having access to safe drinking water straight from the tap or at the very least it being safe enough. These solutions are very pricy. I do use a water filter because their are known contaiments in my tap from things like agricultural run off but its cheaper there some of these solutions by a country mile
I just discovered your channel yesterday and am loving it! I haven’t binge watched anything in a really long time, but I have to say I am learning a lot from your videos. I live in a big city in Southern California and I’m planning on doing some camping after I retire. These videos are helping me to find smart, affordable solutions. Thank you for what you were doing.
Thank you so much!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I especially liked when you cut open the filters. I happen to be just as curious about things. I wonder what the shelf life is on those knock off filters.
I'm going to try to make the bucket purifier, for sure! Thanks for sharing all of these ideas, Adam!
Awesome!
I boil my water first, helps kill germs and helps remove most of the mineral content in the water, then strain it thru a coffee filter to strain the grains of minerals that settle on the bottom
If I recall correctly, ultraviolet light is blocked by glass. If so, you will have to use plastic for the sun exposure. But as the water gets warm or hot in the sun, plasticizers will leach into the water. In an emergency situation, that may be acceptable.
I am not sure if sunlight will kill all bacterial and viral cysts/spores - some can even survive autoclave temperatures and pressures.
If you've ever played the Oregon Trail you know how deadly dysentery can be. 😉
Or 7 Days to Die where my 1st few deaths were from dysentery and not zombies.
Jailbreak Overlander did a video on how to make a Berky waterfilter last forever🍷
For me it was always crossing a river.
And what a pain in the ass it is when the wagon wheel breaks!!!! 🤣
As someone who has not one but TWO older cousins named Terrance, I know how easy it is to die by dysentery
You classy dog! I was NOT ready for a water filter hack. I anticipated another, more expensive filter as we travelled towards the "You'll-never-afford-this Wonderland" like most other vids eventually arrive at in the end.
Ty, for showing the diy water filter! I’m going to make one!
i came here because i was genuinely curious about the puri bag in particular but now im staying because you guys are funny heehee
I'm a Criminal Judge over in Tampa. Grew up here and spent/spend a lot of free time out in areas just like the ones in this vid. You must not be too far away. Love the content you provide.
You sure are a criminal
Thank you so much!
@@SHEEPSUK Got the criminal part right. Probably throwing the book at people riding bikes on walking trails or something as petty.
If you're looking for something that won't cost much simply gather your water in a larger bucket and let it rest so the solids sink to the bottom. Scoop the water out trying not to unsettle what's at the bottom then boil the water for 30 minutes and filter it through a shirt.
Boiling the water is 100% safe against pathogens etc but it wont remove chemicals heavy metals etc. It would be interesting to find the right materials like activated charcoal and fibers to make a simple but much more efficient filter. Something similar to the ones we use in fish tanks.
If I recall correctly, boiling does not kill all pathogenic bacteria. Nor does it destroy the toxins that some bacteria produce.
Just boiling, no. Filter and boil does a good job, and distilling into a clean container gets you pure water which has issues its self.
What issues would pure distilled water have?
@@johnramseur8371 they say it leaches minerals out of your body, it was the only water i was drinking for months, im now treading in new waters lol, with spring water, but yeah i realised it was causing my low energy and sensitive teeth i have been experiencing, apparently for short term use distilled is okay but for long term it is not, saying that i never added minerals or tried to restructure and bring life back to the dead water
I just got 8 life straws, so i want to thank 😊 you for cutting one up to showcase on how this product works!!!😮😊
Such good information. I appreciate you posting this video. My wheels are around turning on building my own filtration system 😊😊 thank you..
