*Just to Clarify! While I talk about sterilising or purifying water by boiling it will not help to remove pesticides or heavy metals, that instead should be done by filtration and purification! These things wouldn't have been an issue circa 10,000bc but today its a concern!
Important to remember that primitive water treatment and modern alternatives have come a very long way and nothing will make water as safe as say a purpose built modern purifier*

Right on man, really enjoy watching you demonstrate your skills! Thanks for sharing Paul!

Excellent video mate. I'm so glad the pot is holding up and is now a part of your kit. Hearing that stream makes me long to go back and camp again 😁

Ah, this is something l've wanted to do for a while. Another entry on the to-do list🙂

I have an idea for a couple of vlogs or videos for primitive bush craft, a hobo reel for fishing and have you ever tried to make a birchbark container for boiling water because Native Americans did it. I’ve never tried it myself but Native Americans did it and as long as you didn’t get the flames above the level of the water supposedly you could boil water in it. Just a couple of ideas. I heard of the rock boil method. It was great to see it done finally! Thanks for making this video.

I learned this technique from the novel "The Clan of the Cave Bear".. was at first a challenge because I also wanted to make a clay pot (mine is with a small nose and a handle). After try and error it worked. 😊

Hi Paul - would it be better to remove the cooling rock first from the hot water before adding the next hot rock, otherwise you can run the risk of vigorous boiling only reaching the top part of the water?
