George write's......Water, I favour a top notch water purifcation system like the Nature pure, this means that in a pinch even dirty ditch water can be made safe, clear and tasty, thus requires a decent electric pump but as its such an infrequent use solar power no probs. or revert to hand or foot pump...
Ive been looking into water purifacation...starting to anyway..I have a small unit I used to use for back packing..Pump the water out of a creek,goes through the filter..into a canteen type of thing..Allways works well for 1 person..Payed around 50 bucks for it...Used to make a solar water collector..dig hole,put plastic over hole,w/small rock in middle on the top...put container in hole under the tarp,the rock forms a small V shape over the container..condensation forms under the tarp at night..runs down to the V..& drops in the container...At best a pint a night was all we could get..in the desert only a cup..or less..helpfull but not a enough..So any first hand experience w/water purifacation, different products,method's etc. out there?...used water purifacation tablets alot..taste is lowsy, but maybe the easyest fix..or boiled water...used alot of fuel though...Doing mostly mountain survival..water is plentifull..But now in the desert...different story..Maybe it comes down to...how much water you can carry...& how much can be made pure,to extend survival time..
