There are many ways on finding, obtaining, purifying, filtering and storing water; making it safe for us to drink.
Many different methods have been covered at previous Zombie Survival Weekenders. Some of these have included:
- Desalination of sea water.
- Moisture pits / Below ground still.
- Purifying found water (various methods, solar, chemical, filter etc.)
- Homemade water filter (using available foraged materials, charcoal, sand etc.)
And there are many yet to be explored…
One thing I’ve noticed participants have started carrying is water filters/drinking apparatus.
Here are some pictures of some participants using the Japanese solider water pump. AKA ceramic water filter pump:
I’ve also seen other participants using a ‘Lifestraw’, a big ‘straw’ that you can put directly into found/dirty water and drink from it direct as the filter is inside it, though the drawback of this is you can’t see what you’re drinking so you’ll have to trust your apparatus.
There are a vast range of different water filters on the market from of expensive silver water pump filters to the most basic ceramic filter straws… As I see more filters used at ZSW I’ll post them here for review.
