Water taking in the wild and Common sense of drinking water

In fact, I think most people don’t need to prepare a professional water purifier at all. On the one hand, we don’t really need it because we don’t have such a terrible environment. Another good water purifier is very expensive. It’s easy to make a simple filtration device yourself, so let me talk about my usual practice: a quick-drying towel is covered with a fine layer of stone, then covered with sand, a layer of charcoal, and it is repeatedly layered and layered. As many as possible, the bags are packaged and put into a wide-mouthed PC bottle with a hole at the bottom and compacted. This is a simple filtering device and it is also very effective. You can prepare a little carbon foam and sand when you go out.

Let’s talk about how to tell the quality of water. Usually, there is no reliable drinking water in the wild except rainwater. We can roughly identify water quality based on the color, taste, and the traces of water. Usually, the cleaner the water, the better the water quality; the muddier the water, the more impurities. Normally clean water is odorless, while contaminated water often has some odors. In order to identify the smell of water accurately, you can use a clean vial to put a half bottle of water and shake a few times, then smell immediately after opening. Also, you can put the bottle of water in hot water, if smell bad, the water can not drink. In addition, you can drop the water on a piece of white paper, then observe it after drying. Clean water is traceless; traces indicate that there are many impurities in the water and the water quality is poor.

Finally, talked about the water container. I personally prefer the aluminum kettle because it is the most faithful and durable product. On the other hand, it can witness your journey. and accompany you to go vicissitudes with it. But bumps are inevitable. If you find something with a pattern that matches your own style, that would be great! Bringing it with you is your perfect interpretation… Of course, plastic water tools are also very useful, because it is easier to punch, you can destroy it to make a simple water purifier at the moment of crisis. Moreover, aluminum kettle soft water bags are indispensable.

To sum up: In the wild, don’t drink the water flowing from the weeds, but the water flowing out of the rocks can be basically consumed directly. The best thing to do when traveling is to take simple water purification equipment, as well as water purification tablets. Water containers are also necessary. I think that even if you have a water bag in your bag, just in case you have to bring a water bottle, it will bring a lot of convenience to you.
