7 ways to find water
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2009
- these are the 7 proven methods of obtaining water in the the dry season or in arid enviroments.
i demonstrate all of them so that you can walk away from this video with the confidence that you wont need for water anywhere you go.
You have to remember that the more AREA to be collected from, the more water. Next time dig a 9 ft. square area with a clear plastic bag sheet that is 10 ft. square. Also it works better if you dig the hole in an area that is more moist in direct sunlight. Make sure the sides of the plastic is sealed good with plenty of dirt like you did. Put your container in the center like you did with the sucking tube. Great video on teaching people how to get water. Water extracted like this is pure clean 99.99% clean water to drink.
I'm so glad I found your page! I used to catch your TV show whenever I could, and when I saw your name come up as I was surfing RUclips I was stoked! Instantly subscribed, and am looking forward to soaking up a bunch of that good old back woods know-how! You are a genuine modern day renaissance man!
Dude you are a friggin font of survival knowledge I love it. Keep on keeping on.
the very young tubers are edible and very good, so I am glad this made it onto the video for public discussion. thanks.
thats incredible! i have field tested the 7 ways to find water, but not like this,i mean when it really matters. i am glad that you are ok. thanks for telling me this. Jack.
Very helpful. Thank you! I love to go waaaay out in the middle of nowhere when i camp and the more of these tricks I can learn, the easier it gets. Also, you never know when you might not be planning on staying out for days or weeks at a time, so it's a good thing to know more than a few ways to get water, build shelters, start fires, etc. The more i know, the more comfortable i am about going out for longer periods. The longest I've gone out for was 2 weeks in Washington around the end of winter time. We got super lucky and found a spring about half a mile from our camp where we got our water and we also found an old dock in the grass that was there from back when the lake we were near was bigger. We used the wood from the dock to build a really nice lean-to, then we pretty much turned it into a cabin over the next couple days as we salvaged the dock wood. We were only gonna be there a few days, but we figured since we could now survive here, we'll stay till we all have to go home and back to work. We have gone back a few times since then and put in a nice little wood stove and a three burner propane stove. We also found more wood out there so we added to the place.
thanks for sharing your knowledge . People would do well to heed these methods .Imagine when the grocery stores are closed and have been raided and you can not get any food or water . Bet you would have loved to pay attention to this man .
The drinking tube is an excellent suggestion. Thanks for the video.
These are all good methods of getting water, but I would never recommend anyone drink straight out of a creek like that. If it was a spring it would be different, but you don't know what could be in that water. It could have cholera, dysentary, amoebas, parasites, e. coli poisoning, schitzomonasis, giardia. These things will take you straight out of the game. Remember you can go roughly 3 days without water so try not to panic and make mistakes that can be avoided. Find a way to make it safe.
WOW dude! I've been a student of survival for almost 30 years and I never knew the thing about the ferns! That is really cool! Thank you VERY much for sharing your knowledge! I guess thats why I say I've been a student of survival and not an expert because I'm still learning. Subbed and will be watching more of your vids. THANK YOU!
You're the smartest dude on tv.
yea , there wasnt much, about an 8 oz glassfull. if volume is what you need just use more than one solar still. the cloth on wet grass is the big producer(the most work too)
I'm sure that you've been thanked a million times for posting this info and so add mine as well as this was really fantastic to know about incase ever in that situation with no water around.
Jack don't worry about the haters they don't appreciate what you do for the YT community.
you are a great guy for uploading and sharing the knowledge you have thank you man!
Oh my goodness thank you so much for this video i owe you my life. i wathched this video before I went camping(like 3 weeks before)and then i fell and all my water was gone. i was able to make a fire and I used almost all of the methods to get water. i was lost for 5 days...thank you I would have been dead if it were not for you...by the way I am only 14 and this happened about one month ago.
the fern fiddles are great food, when young and tender, some have tannins but they can be boiled to remove it
Jack I would swear you live in the wild! The skillset you have blows me away.
It's like the saying goes, You learn something new everyday. Thanks for posting brother!
extracting water vapor from the atmosphere is a common practice in any arid environment. dew forms best in the desert. but can be collected anywhere. I did say that these methods can be used in dry areas, I didn't really imply that I was in the desert, however the methods were developed there, and can be used wherever needed
I doubt that drinking water directly from a creek is very safe. It could make you very sick with the runs and dehydrate you enough to kill you if you can't get help or use a remedy.
Hi Jack great video! I love your show on TV too! I've done the solar still "tree method" too works great! Some other awesome ways to find water, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
Thanks Jack for taking the time to do these vids. Knowledge is a great thing.
You need to boil or treat any water you find, even if you're very thirsty. It may look crystal clear and safe but there could still be some pretty dangerous organisms in there. No since trading thirst for infection.
this is a great video realy like the sock on the grass maayybe some1 will save there life with the help you have shown on this vid thanks on behalf of evry1 take care ray
Thank you for making this. You're the best.
Good info you really know your stuff
and I appreciate you shareing it
being born and raised in the blue ridge mtns of nc .. I hear all the time people saying DONT DRINK WATER FROM ANY MTN STREAM.. even eugene knows better that water is 80% better for you then water out of the tap
hey man im from NC also, Winston Salem. Could you elaborate on why not to drink mountain stream water. Im pretty young and curious about finding and getting clean water for myself and others.Right now i only have access to bottled water in plastic or tap. Id really hate to drink tap water and need better choice then to drink bottled because its in plastic and is basically tap water.. what kind of water do you drink and where do you get it from. thanks. Your information will help me in the future.
m from boone nc area and if your in winston salem. you don't have a lot of options. even your area lakes and streams would be contaminated. I drink my water straight from the stream up in these blue ridge mtns no matter what egene says stream water in the applachian mtns is safe to drink but a deer etc could have pissed in it test it first for taste before you continue.
Thank you
TheWellenoughalone welcome
+Jack Burton I just hiked up a mountain in NC and everyone looked at me like I was crazy when I stopped by a stream on the way up. It's a crazy world.
thanks trapper jack! I would not have thought of half of these. Thanks! I'll try a few of these when I go out next time!
wow amazing!!! i always knew w/solar stills u could puefy water with em but i never knew u could get water using only leaves! Thats so cool!!!
Awesome! Thank you for taking the time to do this for us!!
In the early morning you can collect dew with a piece of cloth, it is on almost anything
I am curious. wouldnt you burn off more water than what you would gain with your solar still with such a deep hole to dig ?
Great video, have a good day. take care.
ive used the solar still a couple times
it works with brackish or saltwater to
1: clear plastic 4x4
2: hole 1' deep 3' diameter as big as you want but remember you need to dig the hole it wont dig itself.
3: vegetation tall grasses and leafy greens then i pour brackish into the soil around the cup.
mostly i dont need to use it im in florida and theres creeks and marsh wherever i go, im gonna keep my eyes out for leaky trees and fern bulbs, new to me thanks jack
thanks for watching
7 ways to stay alive when lost in the woods. You must have water. Water is life.
+Silver Schooner its actually 3 ways.... condensation ... tree harvesting ... river or water roots if u lucky... i wouldn't go for the water potatoes,,, or roots or trees... most trees and roots are poisonous ...bring with u the knowledge of making water from condensation and u should be good for about 25 days... until u will die of starvation/malnutrition or get to nearest civilization
I liked the sock idea the best it looked the most efficient :)
the alturnative water sources are important. i filmed this vid in the Ocala National Forest
methods as effective, such as Iodine tablets, sunlight, perk wells dug on the shore line of a lake or stream, micro-filtering, and three other ways.
i have spent 35 years in the wilderness. each day is a chance to learn a new or improved skill.
Good information TrapperJack... it was also good to see how productive or unproductive some of those methods were. In the case of the solar still, digging the hole with primitive tools (hands and stick) you would have lost more moisture than you would have gained the following day.
It was also good to see the rain/dew collector sheet and also the dew collector rag demonstration. Those are two methods I will definitely use. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with us TrapperJack!
i knew it .. :) you're the old master of lost wisdom.
with your knowledge i feel more comfortable ...
thank you for all your efforts.
Thank you.
I think this is fantastic and everyone needs to watch more of this man and relearn how to live from the land because very soon we will have to again. Take his advice and learn from him he will save your life some day.
great video dude. the info could save someones life
@jjssccpphhdd i agree, to get enough water from a solar still you would need ten or twelve of them,
Love the show! You are a very creative guy! Best Wishes!
Me & my friend are going on a survival trip in the spring, so I'm just gathering up all the info. that I can get. Thanks, Jack, your videos are awesome, but you could turn up the quality to 480p. and it would make them EPIC!
4:20. huge issue you shouldn't shove the rock in the cup. a small pebble placed in the center would work just fine
why what did plastic do to them?
the fern potatoes has a woody aspect that makes them inedible unless they are fully dried , then roasted, the powder used as a flour stretcher. the water can have tannins in it.
i need to do a vid on sterilizing water, there are seven methods of doing it.....
well said, thanks
good idea but what are you gonna do if you do if you Dont have plastic
No, thank you! I love your informative videos!
hey buddy I have learned so much from you are you planning on making more vids Dan in ohio
yes some times they contain tannins that should be cooked out
The dew sock thing; my concern would be the fact that intestinal parasites larva , commonly just called worms, live in dew soaked grass. I live on a farm, have to 'worm' our livestock multiple times a year for this reason.
Also, as I've seen others ask, are the fern potatoes edible? I would assume so if you could drink the juice. The "fiddler head fern" can (and has been eaten by me) be eaten. Even cooked its still kinda fuzzy. Flavor is unremarkable.
Thanks for the vid man!
I think he forgot to mention you'd have to filter/sanitize each source before consumption. That would be wise.
+Devin Devore Gotta catch the fiddleheads in late spring while theyre still curled up. Saute in butter and theyre better than asparagus
If you put sea water or if you urinate in the hole of your solar still over the leaves it would give you better results with amount of condensation and all that condense water which drips in the cup will be purified and clean .
Thanks for sharing. Never thought about dew on grass.
Thanks for the info. One time I was walking through a metro park trail, and I saw what looked like (3) three trees split, one completely in half, the other two had very large branches sheared off by what looked to me like a single lightening strike that hit all three trees. It was shocking (no pun intended) to see that kind of devastation. Not many videos out there on what to do in the wild when a severe lightening storm approaches, and when you can't get to a vehicle or structure.
Eugene, sure miss your old show that they recently canceled, maybe they will put it back on.
I would say "What's up, dude? I like your videos. They're the reason I'm out here and as result, I'm doing well."
Your the best
Nice Jack! I imagine if a person employed all of these methods they could sustain themselves. I think the most important survival item might be plastic.
Great Show I hope to see it again!
I found this video informative. Thank you jack survival
thank you great video!
WOW! Great info - thank you!
this was indeed an interesting video. the bagging methods were neat. i have a couple of questions though. in the case that you dont have plastic at your disposal is there any way to create stills using natural resources. also when you drank out of the stream how can you be sure you wont get sick from that? is there a way you can purify the stream water naturally to avoid this?
although nearly all fern fiddles can be eaten there are only a couple ferns that are truly edible. the bracken fern is one of them. the root "Potatoes" are best eaten in just after the wet season they are fully hydrated then near the end of dry season the potatoes will be strong with tannins and some alkyd compounds that render them almost undesirable. they can be treated similar to Aurum Root ( arrow root , wapotato ) and eaten, again season relates to useability.
thumbs up!!
To make it easier to collect dew, run a long stick through both sleeves of a tee shirt and tie the ends of a cord on either side of the sleeve openings. Then, tie a rope to the center of the cord and drag it along behind you as you walk across the grassy field. Stop and wring out the tee shirt whenever it gets soppy wet. This will be much faster and is not stoop labor.
Thank you for the response. I love Hillbilly Blood, and your Survival techniques videos. Loved your crossbow!!! and the gem farming.
Sometimes plastic against a rock facing a sun will also produce moisture.
you can tap birch trees for their sap around the first week or march. their sap is quite runny/watery, and kinda sweet. it contains vitamin C and other good stuff. you can collect quite a bit fairly easily, and also do it sustainably in ways that don't hurt the tree ensuring you can come back to the same tree year after year. there are vids on youtube ;)
indeed, well done man! Sawyer makes a pretty good water filter bottle for legging it round the bush. Keep it up bro!
Great videos! Thanks!
sometimes you wont always have fire. so other methods are a wise idea to learn
I've seen clear water pour out of trees like that. I collected ten gallons in four minutes. I boiled it and drank it after it cooled and it was fine. Tasted like a tree, but I couldn't believe that tree was dropping water so fast.
I watched all your videos.
This guy needs his own show, Cody and Dave's 2d season is a little bit thin for me. trapperjacksurvival needs his own show.
Hey, I saw you get a good shot of water from those "fern potatoes"... which is amazing in itself, but I have a couple of questions:
Can you eat those little potatoes?
Also, I have read that those ferns are edible when they're still curled up, before they fan out. Have you ever eaten those?
Thanx again for your videos... the knowledge you are giving people is priceless.
Peace.
i live in nevada you can find holes in the rocks carved by native Americans that hey used to crush different foods , there is usually water in them now or you can also see black markings on rocks means water ran thru it once also digging in shaded areas usually leads to water but remember that uses energy and sometimes thats not worth time or energy cool vid btw thanks for sharing.
Sorry Jack..that did NOT look like an arid environment. I live in the high desert of California.where arid is ARID.
Yep. Thanks for the info, I love your videos.
cool video now i shall look at moor of your videos
Learn something new every day.. Great vid..
Me too Eugene is genuine woodsman, survivalist, the real thing!
Barbel Man
Indeed he is !
It`s easy to see that he knows what he's talking about, and can his stuff. So I'm trying to see as of much of him as possible.
Peace.
If you can find a 1" or larger diameter vine that goes up 20-30 ft into a tree you can usually whack it off close to the ground and a good amount of water will run out of it... At least 8 - 10 oz .
Do you realize you just described poison ivy? Grape vine would work great and maybe Virginia creeper but NOT poison ivy! Know your vine before doing this, please.
You do realize Poison Ivy is typically never a 1" or larger diameter vine.
Dude got some good tricks for despirate times.
The solar still methods you mentioned are taught by the Israeli Defense Forces so you know they work. Good video. I didn't know that about ferns. Is it any kind of fern, or a specific type?
hey trapperjack, in addition to your method with the sock and the grass.
you can tie some cloth like a t shirt or smth to your legs and take a walk on a wet morning, this will collect water for you while you walk:P
cheers
Dowsing rods can also be made out of steel hangers. Make a handle for each hand shaped like an L, about 12inches long. Put the short end in each hand, extend your arms in front of you far apart enough for each rod not to touch. Hold arms steady in front and apart from each other, walk either forward or backward according to the direction the rods direct. Guaranteed to locate water.
cool stuff bro!! TY for sharing!!
thanks. food, water, fire, shelter. water is most important.
Thank you for this helpful video
great way of doing it, right on...
i filmed this in florida, but the methods can be used anywhere in the US. the ferns grow all over america too. use foliage from non toxic trees for the solar still and bagging limbs..
Thanks Eugene,I really like your show hillbilly blood.(hardscrabble life}.Good work.
i did divining rods and it works for me for water and i can find oil that way too
hey jack. thanks so much for the info! you have given me ideas i never thought of. i like the sock idea and the wrapping plants with the plastic bag. i was a boy scout when i was younger. what is your background? are u ex-military? also i guess in the desert, u can get water fm cactus? thanks again!
