paulkirtley.co.uk Winter Bushcraft and Survival from professional instructor Paul Kirtley.
Even in the cold of winter, obtaining water is still high up your list of priorities. In fact, in the freeze-dried air of severely cold environments, you need to consume more water than in milder temperatures.
When obvious water sources such as streams, rivers and lakes are all frozen over. Bodies of water can be sealed with several feet of inpenetrable ice. How do we, then, access water? How do we obtain water in the frozen north?
Well, the answer is fire. As long as you can light a fire, you can produce the water you need by melting snow. Melting snow for water is very easy if you have a metal container (and is part of the mainstay of every winter camper and hot-tenter.
But even if you find yourself without any metal containers, producing water by melting snow is still relatively easy.
In this video I share two key winter water-producing techniques which do not require any metal utensils. Both of these techniques should form part of your winter bushcraft and survival skill set.

Hi there mate, glad you liked this one. Winter skills are a particular favourite of mine (as you might be able to tell from my videos) but if you aren't able to join me in person, then at least I hope you get a lot out of my videos. There are a few more winter topics on the cards. Watch this space! Keep safe too my friend. ATB, Paul.

Thanks for taking the time to make and share this Paul. Really good stuff to know and yet so simple, the Swedish marsh mallow in particular. Just a thought, was there any particular reason you chose that fire lay ?
@PaulKirtley
@PaulKirtley 10 лет назад
Thanks Andrew. I used that fire lay to create an effect similar to an electric bar fire or grill. It's basically a mini long-log fire. Cheers, Paul

Thanks Paul. Very well shown! Question: What anorak are you wearing?
@PaulKirtley
@PaulKirtley 10 лет назад
Thanks Wintertrekker. The jacket is a Norrona Arktis Anojakke. I think they now call it the Svalbard jacket.

As i watched the finnish marshmellow why not just pile it into the cup and melt it that way? Since the cup is already by the fire.

How come you didn't boil the snow water before you drank?
@JHypers

I have to correct a slight inaccuracy on the analysis of Boreal Forest snow. While I agree in most cases it will start out as powder, over time as subjected to extreme cold it will begin to facet. This is especially the case for the earliest snow nearest the ground, where temperature gradients tend to promote faceting. As a result, you end up with more of a sugary, granule consistency, likely with any number of thin crusts, especially later in the season. Local weather dictates all of these variables, and while wooded areas may have less wind effect, nearby lakes can definitely offer wind slabs not unlike what you might find in the alpine.
@PaulKirtley
@PaulKirtley 10 лет назад
I think you are splitting hairs here. I'm not disagreeing with you - particularly about sugar snow - but this still needs to be put in a bag. And while it's possible to find wind-transformed snow in the middle of a large lake, are you realistically going to walk out specifically to obtain this slab when there are depths of snow in the forest (where the fuel is)? As I say in the video, snow "in the forest" is not windslab. This is about practical efficiency not academic point scoring.

It amazes me everytime how energy consuming it is to stay out in cold temperatures, you really need a good condition.
