If I don’t have any water available to start out I normally put snow in pot and put close to fire but not on the fire. This allows for snow to melt to give the water barrier to prevent scorching my pot. Good video.

Thanks James, instructional and clear as always

Currently in Oklahoma our water is off but luckily there's more snow than you could drink or cook with outside. Just a few months ago we lost power for 2 weeks due to a freak early frost.

The point is I'm so glad I got into camping/outdoor cooking/survival last year as it's made times when our utilities were lost much, much easier and make the small creature comforts possible. I'm boiling a pot of snow on my woodgas stove to make coffee right now.

haven't had to do that for 50 years, not enough snow in Ga. anyway... turbidity is a good reason to millbank that snow water.

Hi James! What is that jacket you're wearing? Looks like a good cold weather setup. 👍

i never tried it but to me it would be better to actually start like you did with putting in water but instead of putting the snow on the cold water.. bring the first bit of water to a boil then start adding the snow slowly and you will make water at least twice as fast.
