ULTIMATE Water Survival Hack & It's FREE!

Yes Steve. The sun also kills any residue of bacteria left behind on clothes when you line dry them out doors. I did a video on that last week. God provides everything...❤❤

Sunlight can also be used to heal from infection because it penetrates the skin. My uncle had TB. The hospital laid him outdoors in the sun and gave him orange juice to drink. That was 100 years ago

Update. Best to use glass. Plastic will leach into your water.

I remember my aunt like 35 yrs ago making sun tea was the best tea. The sun is amazing

Good job. One other tip. In a body of water. Look for life. If nothing is living in the water. I would pass it by.

Steve, as a suggestion, lying the bottles on the shiny side of a sheet of aluminum foil will increase the amount of UV penetrating the bottles. UV does reflect off of foil. This might increase the efficiency -- and thereby reduce the time -- by 10-20%. And every little bit helps in a survival scenario.

People would be amazed at how much rain falls off one household roof.

I would not store water in plastic soda bottles... tiny particles of plastic will be start breaking down with time. Glass is the way to go... So happy you started this channel!

if you have tree's with broad leaves you can wrap the tips of those with plastic bags , and the sun will hit them and before you know it the tree will have a few cups of good water for you to drink . specially good are longleaf pine or white pines and they will add the good turpines from the needles for extra vitamin C and anti bacterial goodies.

In a serious water shortage…5 gallons is a luxury. We’ve been working on ways to save water for in case..like building a mobile outhouse over the septic tank. Inside can use used dish water to flush. I order these huge boxes of Huggies wipes..cucumber and green tea….from Sams…(on sale right now) a person can take a bath with those. We have the 250 gallon water tanks and catch rain water. I have all kinds of purification and filter stuff. Our property has a creek on 3 sides. We live in the woods…so can always boil water. And still…water is the one thing I worry the most about. I like the mason jar sun idea.

That's why you don't lock people down when there is a pandemic.

many years ago I read in a military survival book "The U.S. Armed Forces Survival Manual", (great read btw), that when you actually do find water and purify it in whatever way, drink as much of it as you can if you're in a hot climate because your body can store water. most people might not know this.

If you are staying in one location, but you are out of water, you can easily PRODUCE pure drinking water (distilled actually) with minimal supplies, if the sun is shining. Dig a shallow pit. In the center, place a bowl or jar. Cover pit with plastic (clear, black, any color). Heap dirt around the edge to hold it in place. Place a small rock above jar. All the plastic slopes towards the jar. As the sun warms the soil below, condensation will form on the inner surface of the plastic, and drip into the jar. Distilled water! Many pits - gallons of water. This can also work at night if the air temperature dips a significant amount below the soil temperature.

Target, Walmart and amazon are like.. Why is everyone all of a sudden buying glass mason jars, glass sun tea containers and clear glass 5 gallon carboys : ) sun-charged water is more hydrating. “We conclude that 40-day exposure of water to specific solar spectrum changes chemical and physical properties and influences on biological activity” -NIH

I appreciate that you were careful to say "human refuse" instead of "poop".

My 18 year old son and I were just talking about this yesterday. He had no idea about purifying water by the sun. To my delight, he is onboard and has complete awereness of our current time in history. I will say with all the ways to purify water this one is new to me and my family. I have plenty of mason jars and sun 🌞

Dry Fasting is the most amazing thing your body can do. And the reason you can live that long without water is 2 reasons. Number 1, eating food takes massive amounts of water to process. Number 2, and the most remarkable, your body was created so complex, it can physically make H²O out of the oxygen you breathe and the Hydrogen stored in your fat cells. It's incredible and a testament to how wonderfully made we are. Our bodies can do miraculous things. Like heal itself and create water. And dry fasting has amazing effects of healing, cleaning your liver & kidneys and even reversing disease. But the key is, if you don't have water nor any way to make water, don't eat anything at all and your body goes in to emergency mode and makes conditions and chemical reactions to keep you alive longer.

Steve that backdrop is beautiful brother,and it’s my opinion that you are a good guy and mean well with your content

Wow! I’ve had lots of survival training but this is such a perfect idea with using the sun to purify water. I have used Sawyer for years and they are great

This was very useful info and easy to do

Thank you! ... keeping you in our hearts and prayers in Jesus name...

This was a great place to start with your new channel. Great update. Thank you.

LOVE this side of you Steve ❤ more please..

Great advice, passing it along. Thank you Steve!🎉😊

This reminds me of how popular 'sun tea' was in SoCal during the 1970s. Of course everybody had access to indoor appliances to heat their water for tea, so I'm not sure what all the hubbub was about. But after the process you talked about and the water is clean, you could make some of that. People would need to do a search for how long the water needs to stay in the sun once the bag(s) are in. 🤗🇲🇽

GOD BLESS YOU ALL. THAT'S AWESOME ,GREAT KNOWLEDGE ,WE ALL WE CAN GET. SEE YOU NEXT TIME. EAST TENNESSEE.

I really like this new format you’re doing. This is the information I need more than what’s in the stores and what isn’t. Thanks so much for doing this!

As always Steve ~ GREAT Information we All can use !!!.. I will start saving my large pickle jars... & my 2Lt honey jars for this very purpose. That way my canning jars Stay canning jars. ❤ a Canadian fan

Steve, i try teaching my kids and now grand kids things like this. Thanks for this video

Hi from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 😊. Once you have done the sunlight purification I would put a silver coin or bar in it .

Thank you Steve!

Great video Steve.

Hey Steve, they make plastic lids for canning jars, I use them after I open a jar of canned jam or pickles so I don't have to mess with the metal lid and bands

Hi Steve, great video today! I actually purchased used golf umbrellas from the play it again sports store for collecting the rain water after watching Dave's tutorial. Good stuff!

You can buy plastic lids for your canning jars this would stop the calcium chloride from damaging it because it would be a plastic

If chubby people can last more days ...I feel like an oasis 😊

Steve, thankyou so much. I knew you all had a better plan up your sleeves than what we use. Thanks for sharing.

research borax, silver, shungid, copper, clay pottery (no glazing) as water purifier (washing, drinking) But most of all praying to YAHavah YAHashua HaMashiah Immanuel and Father in Heaven before you drink anything, eat anything. all that has breath shout halleluYAH

Learned a trick last year. When canning if I don’t have enough food filled jars to fill the canner we put water in extra jars to fill the canner and can with the rest. Sterile water should last for a long time sealed in glass.

Bakeries get frosting in 3 to 5 gallon white plastic food safe buckets and some grocery stores just throw them out so you can ask for them and if they’re going to chuck them, you can get them for free.

Thanks Steve for the useful info. Keep it coming and God bless

Perfect video for your new channel, Steve! Water is the essence of life itself, and the very first thing a person should master in being a prepared person! As a "Desert Dweller" water is number one. A lot of people store 275 gallon water in IBC food grade totes here in the desert. If you want to get "fancy", Home Depot also sells larger water tanks in varying sizes. Water bobs (a plastic bladder you place in your bathtub) are also good to use in an emergency, this is the very FIRST thing you do in an emergency, fill that water bob in your bathtub! Good luck with this new channel, Steve!

At this point I have trouble sitting still.You are easy to listen to.Thank you Steve ✌️🇺🇸

I’ve been doing the same thing with those 2 liter bottles for months. I wash the bottles out with hot water and soap. Then fill the bottle up halfway then add a TSP of unscented bleach. I add the cap and shake the water around for 15 sec. Then if you’re doing multiple bottles, just pour the bleach water into another bottle and do the sane thing and sanitize it. Then empty and rinse out the bottle and you’re set. Now fill the 2 litter bottle with water and set it in a cool place where no direct sunlight with hit them. Store them for 6 months to over a year. But if you decide to leave it longer. You can filter the water with a Berkey filters system. RU-vid: DIY Berkey Filter . That’s what I made and have. P.S. if you can get those 2 liters plastic soda holders will help in stacking. Check your local beer distributor. Stay safe

To sanitize water with sunlight the water has to be clear also and you can filter water clear with charcoal, sand and fabric. I'd rather boil the water with hot rocks from fire if no pans available

Thanks Steve, added the solar instructions to the pages in my survival binder that have water disinfection methods. Also have the straws, sawyer squeeze on hand. Now we will get some additional filters cause we all know 1 is none, 2 is one, etc. Lots of sunny days here.

I read that you can put the water bottle or jar on a black background in the sun and works well.

THIS is the kind of vids you should put out. WIth your unique background too, its valuable info! I've prepped 14 yrs and did not have this much info about sun purification. Some dems do preps you know, and the bangbang so shed the other vids that totally are have a biased view of them. I would like to see more info! as like I said its unique - I never backpacked 2000 miles and see how people do things directly (in other parts of the world) and I assume many others havent too.

another great video on this new channel. very practical way to make good drinking water. looking forward to the upcoming interview with pinball and future content

Thanks for the tips today Steve, I appreciate it. Love the new channel. God bless and stay safe.

Thanks everybody for all the good tips!❤

Silver is also a good mention.

I knew you could sterlize water with the sun but wasnt quite sure of the process !!!! Thank you!!!

It's nice to see you outside! Thanks for bringing more education to us.

I had NO idea! Thanks!

Rock solid information. Thank you, Steve.

Great video! I know this will be controversial but... Hubby worked for a company that used a lot of hydrologic oil in five gallon buckets. He brought a lot home so we opened as many up as would fit under the edge of our carport. We did it right before a rain. The rain would clean the buckets for us. We just left them until no oil remained. We don't plant anything there so we don't mind if the oil gets onto the ground in that spot. We don't spray anything like herbicides so we figured it would keep the weeds down and wouldn't be any worse than spraying. Nope. The weeds still grow there. The buckets themselves are food grade. I use the water after the oil is gone to water plants. I've also planted in the cleaned out buckets. We have to use what we have and that's what we have. I kinda figure that we don't use pesticides or herbicides so it's probably not any worse than the food at the grocery store. Anyway, I thought I would share that. Because if someone has access to whatever kind of buckets they want to use, a carport sheds a lot of water. It can fill a lot of containers in a little rain shower.

Good Information, I had a hard time finding this channel, but now that I have, im going to be watching some more of your older videos. Thanks, Steve.

Hey Steve, your a pioneer in multitasking. Nice new channel man.

Great video! Very informative.

Thank you, Steve, for sharing potentially life saving tips.

Thank you for all the tips Steve ❤

I’m going to share this information with some of my low income friends in Jamaica they really need it for when the water isn’t in the pipe or down for some reason and they they shouldn’t be buying water that often

Thanks Steve.....love your channel!

Thank you so much for all your information. Much appreciated. ❤️

Thank you Steve!!! Good info

Thanks Steve!

Really like this new channel, Steve. Thanks so much for the good info! I use plastic leak proof lids on canning jars to store the calcium hypochlorite. Then have it inside a cardboard box to be sure it never gets near metal. Keep it dry and cool.

Consume all that water. Good info, keep it up, brother!

Thanks Steve 😊 your the best

Thanks so much Steve
