Proof The Bible Is True

It is rare to find water in the wild which is safe to drink. Naturally occurring water will either be muddy, contain floating debris (including small debris), or have microscopic pathogens in it. Long gone is the day when we could safely drink water from a clear running stream or spring.

 

In a survival situation, we have to assume that any water we find is unsafe to drink, no matter how clean and clear it might look (assuming you can actually find clear water). Even water that tastes good might not be safe to drink.

 

That’s why its best to carry some sort of water filter with you, whenever you are in the wild. Most people use a straw-type water filter, such as the Lifestraw for day trips, survival kits and bug out bags.

 

For a longer period of time, such as a camping trip, you’ll need something that will handle a larger amount of water, such as one of the bag-type filter systems, which take water from one bag, through a filter and into another bag. Lifestraw makes an excellent one of these and so does Sawyer.

 

But what if you find yourself in the wild, without any of those water filters? You have to make sure that your water is safe to drink, otherwise there’s a chance of getting dysentery, which can kill.
