How to Make a Primitive Water Filter from Natural Resources (episode s2.03)

Clean water is crucial for survival. Drinking wild water without filtration and heat treatment can be risky and even deadly. I have regularly consumed wild water from streams and springs and often even without any treatment. Fortunately I have not become sick from this practice. To prevent illness I recommend that clean water first be boiled. To make the water clean I made a clay vessel to hold charcoal, sand and gravel to filter out debris, organic matter, dirt and bugs as the water flows through by gravitational force. This water filter can conveniently be hung inside my hut and a pot placed underneath to capture the filtered water.

Enjoy the ASMR sounds and beautiful cinematic imagery of this video as I put my hands to work to make a water filter from the earth. Thanks for watching!

Chad's immune system is at this point on another level.

Just wanted to say, out of all the survivalists I've watched on YouTube, you are on a higher level than all the rest because you start with NOTHING! The others say buy this and buy that....but you teach us how to do it with what the creator gave us! Thank you!

If you are reading this, I want to tell you that everything will be fine. You are incredible, you are unique, you can face anything in your life, you have the strength within yourself to overcome any obstacle, loss or situation. You are not alone, you are loved, you have the right to feel bad and good, you have the right to feel. Be blessed by these positive vibes and live your life to the fullest. I am sending my love to the universe so that I can reach you.❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you Chad for doing what you're doing and showing us how to do it too! For everybody who is watching and wishes they could do something similar - you can! Sure you won't be able to fire pottery in your local park, but you can weave baskets, weave rope, learn the basics of starting a fire using fire sticks and so forth. I have personally done those things either in the park or on my balcony in the middle of the big city. This is a way to fight stress like no other.

you are such a nice and interesting man, and you've completely changed my life from being a loner and depressed person to a happy and wonderful person, thank you so much for your content.

Chad, legend! this makes me feel humble, just like the Henry David Thoreau quote in the beginning of this episode. as a kid, i made hand-woven doilies and baskets of grass/reeds and a jug with clay.
by watching your videos is slowly start to remember my love for these natural basics and manual labor.

Fires in that landscape make me nervous. Great basketry. just beautiful work.

Shows how civilization began from the gecko. Only a few shows like yours exist Fir example the man from southeast found orange clay and eventually made tools from the iron he extracted from clay.

You might consider making a few water storage amphorae, that you can fill up with purified water for the dry summer months. Might save you from having to head to the river when the spring dries up. Can fill them while the spring is full, purify them and then when a couple are empty in the summer, maybe haul them to fill them from the river with a shoulder yoke.

Very informative, and well documented too. Right down to showing all the bugs floating in the water. You're the man!

[gladtidingsall]

I would also drink charcoal water it’s good to clean your stomach of parasites or bacteria

[TOGthatoneguy]

oh this is a good one. everyone needs water and everyone can use this info.

[peterdoring]

Chad, apart from the charcoal (the best filter) you can crash clay and small stones which filter different ingredients and are used as protection at disposal sites. If you repeat the filtration the water quality will be surprisingly high.

صباح الخير تشاد جيد أن أشاهد الفيديو في هذا الصباح انت رجل شجاع تعيش في البرية وتعتمد على الاشياء الموجودة وصبور

[chirho]

I can see why some want to return to nature and leave this complicated world of technology behind, I like the simpler life and nature too. Can you make clay tablets and show us how to write on them?

[glennwilck]

You made a really cool pour over for making coffee!

[josephsanangelo]

Amazing talent you''ve got )) and the quote from Thoreau is a gem to contemplate. When troubles come those who use their own hands will have the advantage. Blessings always Chad ))

Hello Chad I just watched one of the previous videos you uploaded about prickly pears you may not believe me but I live in a remote village in Northern Greece my house is in 700 Meters elevation and I found one single prickly pear cactus in the forest and still had fruit on, I cleaned and ate them they way you showed and there were delicious I still don't know how it survived up here😅.

[wdboss]

Great filter. And yes, boiling is the safest way.
Thanks for sharing.
