Best and easiest water distillation method I've ever seen. Thanks very much for sharing this.
Solar distillation is a little easier but slower. It was in the old Boy Scouts manuals.
i bought a lifesaver bottle..cleans dirty water instantly...about 60 bucks...there's gonna be a war soon...every century ever do you think this is the first one we get off...nope
It takes about a gallon of water in a 24 hour cycle to keep a human male healthy. If one was lost on an island with two beer bottles and an ocean... one is fucked. It is good information to have, but futile in reality.
@@mmercier0921 Actually humans get much of our water intake from food so as long as you have a food source, two beer bottles and an ocean would be enough to keep you alive for quite some time.
But what's the point?
Good video. Just one tip though: heat the water close to boil before mating it with another bottle and any petroleum volatiles, alcohol, or other active contaminates will evaporate before the water does.
i bought a "lifesaver" bottle..cleans dirty water instantly...about 60 bucks...there's gonna be a war soon...every century ever do you think this is the first one we get off...nope
Wait, what the hell are guys talking about? 🤔
@dylans voice It's chemistry. 😊 You know how rubbing alcohol evaporates really quickly, but water can take a while? Well, that's because its boiling point is lower than water (82º C versus 100º C).
Since that's how most flammable solvents are, they'll evaporate off before the water reaches a boil.
You can then do partial destilation of that, get some kerosene, gasoline and diesel build a combustion engine, build a raft and drive off into the distance
@@MrCrispian the fuck you talking about lol, we've been at war almost the entire 21st century so far
The prospect of having other things in the water (like gassoline or oil) is why you should start with the heated bottle open to atmosphere until the water is at a good boil. Let lighter boiling materials out without capturing them in the recieving bottle. Before you connect the bottles, have some vapor condense on the outside of the cool bottle, and give it a sniff or taste to make sure it is water. Then, connect the bottles. Also, whenever you distill water, leave about 10% in the heated bottle. There can also be stuff you don't want that has a higher boiling point than water. Throw that out and start fresh.
That makes sense. I'm also wondering if the salt water bottle could be replaced entirely by a larger container, though one would have to get creative in connecting a bottle to the container.
he said that at like 6:15
I dont get it ? Why'd this get so many likes
Could be people just reading the comments before getting to that section in the vid.
This saved my life when I was on pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland
you can easily find glass bottles on the beach.....until it's a survival situation.
James P hahaha true.. Another method is cooking salty water and have a piece of plastic paper on top of that. With a bucket/bottle or anything self made to hold water to catch the condense!
i bought a lifesaver bottle..cleans dirty water instantly...about 60 bucks...there's gonna be a war soon...every century ever do you think this is the first one we get off...nope
@@MrCrispian Curious about that bottle, can it be that good for 60 bucks? Can you provide more information?
@@MrCrispian Where did you buy it mate?
Loooool yeah
I like your bird friend.
Birb
That bird is too cool :)
Best part of the video lol I love that bird
All birds are intelligent loving creatures capable of experiencing and giving love. Make the connection and go Vegan.
TheDomHussein animals taste good. I'll eat birds and stay carnivorous
Note: salt is also used as a preservation method for foods, and is a biproduct of distillation. Good thing to keep in mind if doing anything similar to this in a survival situation
I'm told it will be possibly contaminated salt after distillation
This deserves 5k likes
@@peacenow42 yeah it is not the salt like you buy for food in the store. It has other stuff in it. They do make sea salt, but not like this.
I get the logic, but the leftover slurry is more than just salt - as pointed out above. It's basically a brine full of contaminates that could make you sick. I wouldn't use it for anything food related.
@@robinblackmoor8732 what did the world do before this brilliant techno and other advances of ours!
Ah. I see that UA-cam is Preparing me for this Year
Lol
Lol
hahahahhahhaha needs more likes
Great reset coming right up
dude, this could save my life one day! So thankyou in advance.
nope, that would kill you, never drink distilated water
Dude you sit at home playing playstation all day.. How would you.. Get stranded
@@DiegoRagazzid
Not really I drank distilled water for a year. 90% & 10% regulare water. It removes lots of garbage from your body. Safest water to wash wounds & your eyes.!!!👍😎👽.
@@rexluminus9867 what the fuck how are you still alive? Its not safe at all to drink distilated water
@@dreamybullx1Still drinking distilled water.I had much more rich mineral sources than tap water.Now filtered & different types of spring water + distilled one💦.✅😎☝️
It’s amazing how a few simple items can mean the difference between life and death. Great bit of information.
and the knowledge!
I think to survive like this a person would be working the bottles all day
Who will survive with only distilled water?
@@acmelka about an hour of distillation for 1 or 2 full bottles, plenty of time for other things
Great educational video; you never know when you’ll need this in life or death situations.
This video is valuable- especially for use in a survival situation. Thank you for posting!
I really appreciate you demonstrating this process. I was once at the mercy of the Mariana Trench when I was stationed in Guam while in the Navy. Me and a buddy got drunk on my 18 foot boat and decided to anchor off the reef. When we woke up I was in the shipping channel. I fired a Flare gun at Japanese Airliner and they radioed my position to the Authorities whom picked us up. We were drinking the melted ice from the beer cooler. This would have been a useful Hack for us. We had plenty of empty beer bottles. Thanks again Sailor Steve out.
The hell? They never thought you guys how to purify your water?
My cousin is in the army and they were thought well how to survive in the forest and the beaches
In the naaaavy~ I honestly would like to know what kind of punishment awaited you for that.
@@fynflorentine2512 taught is very different from thought...
@@TheCvlt none at all... he was on his own boat and accidently drifted out to sea then was rescued. There isn't any punishment for getting lost.. even in the Navy. Maybe if he was using a Navy owned vessel and was drinking and sailing while on duty. Then there would be trouble. But no, not for getting lost at sea on your own boat..
@@TheCvlt I got sent to a Captains Mast. Instead of charging me they made me take a Boating Safety class. Actually that was very funny as the humiliation of making a sailor take such a basic course. When I anchored off before sleeping the low tide shredded the line thats how we were adrift. But thanks for asking. Sailor Steve out!
You have the perfect voice to be a professional narrator-commentator on film,TV, radio or youtube...!😉
also, he's ted cruz
I heard his voice in Google assistance
AGREED!
Yesss your voice is perfect!
I m stranded on a desert island. So grateful there is youtube
Just remember to pour the highly concentrated saltwater into a container to allow further evaporation to the crystaline salt you will need for survival and food preservation! Great video... subscribed already!
I was not expecting your bird. Adorable. Keeping him safe next to you with the little harness. too cute!
At 8:29 that bird is legit trying to liberate it self lol
What a simpleton....
What type of bird is that? Conure?
Is that a Lori?

Preparing for Zombie Apocalypse, this was very helpful.
alien invader ?
Gahahaga 💝 ♥️ LMFAO 😂 😂 good one😎😂😋😋
SAMEEEE THATS LITERALLY WHY I LOOKED THIS VIDEO UP
Unless during apocalypse you turn out to be a zombie.
make sure you know how to filter the water as well then there are impurities that can make you sick even kill you if you are unlucky in unfiltered water
Had to learn this in the boyscouts 20 plus years ago and it is a life saver! Done it many times!
Excellent presentation and thank you for taking the time to make this video , it’s very informative and could be greatly be useful in a dire situation
You are a Damn good teacher ! I understood everything clear as a bell.
I've always seen bells as quite opaque.
Rhubarb Kendleberk underrated comment
well good but this setup is never gonna be of use
Sostrimgthumper s yeah but why did he have to lynch the bird at the end.
I agree. Very well explained. Clear and to the point.
I've been looking for something like this simple, cheap method to distill water for years. THANK YOU!
For years???? You would be dead by now.
Cool and well done! Once every 10-15 years or so I face a situation where this kind of knowledge might be useful. Thanks!
Simple, practical and easy. It takes a genius mind for such innovations.
Thanks for sharing
And you get free salt to season your lunch.
Hao Liu Sure why not add salt to saltwater fish, brilliant!
@@firepower7017 lmao you don't season your salmon with salt and pepper? Saltwater fish doesn't mean they are full of salt. I can't believe somebody is this stupid.
Hao Liu Again saltwater salmon already have salt. I tend to not add not much salt or else it ruin the fish entirely. Also how I eat salmon is add a little bit of salt, rub mayo across the salmon and powder it with paprika, next I add lemons and bake it.
@@firepower7017 so you do add salt, and no offense, I don't care how you eat your fish.
Hao Liu But paprika has salt in it and I generally skip adding it.
Edit: I generally skip just adding salt. I have a low sodium diet, I mean in my culture we eat crickets so I can see why you called me a dummy but that can be just coincidental
In the end of the video, what the bird did was very intelligent. He played with your hair, then waited on a response from you. When you laughed, the bird then laughed too. That was the best part. Very entertaining. Ha ha ha :))
I second that 😃😃
@@coldlessons the bird is the emergency supply
Thank you for your time, effort and energy on all your videos brother...
I can't believe it's taken me until my 30s to research how to purify water. I definitely wasn't taught this at school.
Definitely something that needs to be taught in school. Give it a few decades. The way the world is going, we'll probably be there before long. Either that, or google takes over the world. #apocalypsehumor 🤷♂️
They didn't really teach many useful things in school. I think school is more about training people to be good worker drones or ready for prison. I think that if they taught useful things vs stuff most won't ever need / won't remember, people might pay attention and could learn how to be self sufficient.
@@planseed yeah but the government doesn't like people being self sufficient. less money for them
coming from a 27 yr old, I wasn't taught that either but movies and TV taught me a lot more than school honestly 😅 And I don't think school is where you learn it anyway. maybe boyscotts and bootcamp
@@AlyxAesthetics You mean Republicans don't like Americans being self-sufficient with how much they've contributed to wealth inequality and state oppression. You want an educated populace, you vote blue.
Imagine after the entire video, he says "Now let's taste it." Then he spits out the water and just stares at the camera saying "Well I was wrong. That didn't work."
Lmao 😂
Instructions unclear, accidentally made moonshine.
Oh. Oh - that's actually poison.
... Huh.
**collapses and dies**
Good one sir I needed a good laugh thank you👍
Well, you still don't know. He's could be a very good actor...
Good job , Greetings from Kuwait where our fresh water comes from the sea for since 1952.
On industrial scale, you mean.
The last bit about the residue test was so neat. I was just thinking how someone could show on camera that one water has salt and the other doesn’t
"The wider the bottle the better."
Me: "That's why I have to drink two quarts of corona after work tonight honey, I'm making water, it's science.."
Your eyebrows make you look sincere
That's exactly what he wants you to think. 🙃
Higor Guedes 😂
Higor Guedes they look like caterpillars
tphrr5120 lol 😂😂
Higor Guedes aww they do
That's actually the coolest thing I've seen all week.
Awesome video..I send these to both of my kids all the time
Simply Brilliant Dude...
And I was trained by Marines since the age of 7, in survival.. and have lived of the grid for 30years, minus the cellphone, lol
But I'm very impressed 👍
watching this..coz you will never know...one day
Pretty soon looking at the state of my country, if I browse Tinder I find nothing but degenerated brainwashed zombie girls who dyed their hair pink or blue and are COMPLETELY INSANE, we are gonna collapse *soon* .
@@skuppydup hahahaha true tinder in my country to 😂
filled with sand as you put 0.5% of sand in tray
lol that what i was thinking
It may happen sooner than later. Best be prepared.
It is also possible to use just a bottle and one of those trays. Bottle will have same purpose as in this video, metal tray will be the cold surface for condensation (placed over neck of the bottle upside down at angle with one corner being the lowest point). Water will condensate in the tray and trickle down. All you have to do is use third vessel which can be anything including a large leaf to catch it (the third vessel can be literally anything water tight with depression including you)
That last line killed me 😂
I really appreciate your craftsmanship. Keep it up!
A very useful video! This needs to be common knowledge! God bless you!!!
3 Dirty Water -> 1 Purified Water
U Wot M8 don't forget, if you have a surgical tube and a lot of dirty water, you can mass purify it at a cooking station or campfire.
Nein1ron another settelment needs you to build a water purifier and some beds
stonie Alerthsun I'll mark it on your map
Tbh, dirty water is rarer than purified water at some point, lmao
and how to make a blood pack?
I'm surrounded by saltwater, I appreciate your teaching. Thanks my friend.
I love solar water desalinators and they also deserve a video of their own.
Great video! The info is solid and the production is super tight🔥❤
And yes you. Can distille urine like a Marine!
Great video, I'm really impressed with your wonderfully simple yet non insulating way of teaching. Everyone can learn something from you & your science.
I like it's simplicity. That helps more people overall.
Hi, N.
This video is really useful for today's world. Thanks.
Excellent--great demonstration and explanation!
Very useful in a survival situation
P.s i love your assistant😂
Sure is
Useless while waiting for my flight. I can't start a survival fire here to distill water without getting significant and unwanted attention.
CRAZY DAYZ
He was filming.
Notice how once he got in the shot, they had to turn it to selfie mode
Jesse Frederick I guess Abood's joke went over your head. He was implying that the bird was filming the demonstration.
Still taste salty....😧
Excellent vid....this knowledge cud be a blessing for someone in need someday and love your little cute colorful birdie...such a sweetheart
Great video! I knew about this process, but was always told you need a three containers, (one for salt water, one for coolant and one for destiled water) stationed verticaly. This is way easier solution! (eventhough I was first sceptical about the aircooling, before I realised you use the second sand bed for cooling)
Thank you!
Hopefully I will never need this video :-)
Very interesting, perfectly explained. thank you very much for your time and knowledge.
THIS was the best,fastest, most easy way to distill water I have ever watched. thank you.
OMG!!! We love your method of distilling and we are just crazy over your beautiful companion .
Thank you for posting. This will be useful for all of us sometime during our lifetime
So simple method discovered by you. Thank you.
You can easily make multiple of those with just one fire to maximise distilation rates.
DastiRDTV In a very long survival period you could even make a hotter fire and manipulate bottles so that you could upgrade the frequency of refilling.
I was thinking an angled connector to increase quantity storage in both bottles
Angle distillary bottle upwards to trap steam that would otherwise be stuck by the lip when it’s flat. About 5 degree tilt should do, and you can add more water as well.
If you were to do this, I'd suggest refilling the bottle in series. You'd have to let the warm bottles cool off before refilling it with cold water to reduce thermal shock. So you could do something where two bottles are distilling while the third one is off cooling. Then when the next bottle is done, refill the now cool bottle and place it back in and remove the empty one from the cycle to cool off, and repeat.
VideoGameGang A
The biggest potential problem is that if your source water is contaminated with something that has a lower boiling point than water then this specific technique will need to be modified. What you will have to do is wait until after the water has started boiling before you set up the second bottle to receive the steam from the first.
You could just add a coiled tube of copper and close it up at both ends. Nothing's getting in there then.
salt can accomodate harmful organism
@@Drjarsoheat will kill the bacteria and other things.
Brilliant and best video I've seen yet...great and helpful comments below as well...Love your channel!
Neat video, thanks! (Also cute bird at the end, the little harness made me smile so much)
Thank you for this information, and making it so easy to understand! Living in a Coastal area like I do (SW FL), you really just never know. Especially when storms are so unpredictable around here! The only thing that makes me nervous would be being able to find the bottles to use. But better to know how to do this and pray that you can, than not knowing how to do this at all! Thanks again, XOXO
AWESOME! LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY 👍
Dude. Great video. Thank you for that. I have always wondered how to distill ocean water when in a dyer situation. Thumbs up.
Me: “scrolling UA-cam”
UA-cam: you wanna see Hipster Ted Cruz distill some water?
I scrolled down to see if anyone else saw Ted Cruz.
Lol
Hahaha
He looks like Pedro Pascal to me
I just saw him as Pedro Pascal without a Hispanic accent.
Love the bird....you get a hearty thumbs up because the awesome bird was a deal breaker! And the de-salination looked practical and do-able in a survival situation. Brilliant...thanks!
This is something I learned and forgot a long time ago... Came here to settle an argument with my nephew... I couldn't remember how quickly it worked. Great setup, great knowledge. Keep up the good work. Tomorrow, we're going to try this for a Boy Scout badge he's working on.
Brother I loved the video!!! ❣️💪🏻👊🏻 Such an amazing video way to make use of the abundant water in our oceans as drinking water.
Double salute
I wouldve died of thirst by the time that sip of water gets distilled.
I know who is going to die first in a survival situation.
@Just As I Thought. Trash. His blood will dry out before I get that chance.
🤣
that bird at the end xD
Doug. It is a happy birb.
Thank you very much for sharing, this may save my life one day.
Got to try this one! Great work
Have to try this! Prepping is a way of life. Paying rent is oppression. Btw Your eyebrows will get you through the casting process of Days of our lives in the blink of an eye! Great upload! Thx man!
Prepping is great. I own a house, but paying rent isn't oppression. It's a choice to pay rent. It's convenience. And too many people rely entirely on convenient things. Like fast food for example. What if you never had fast food? Half of the people my age can't even make grilled cheese.

I thought Bill Nye said it
Thank you for the great information, your a good teacher.
This is amazing content - saves life's in extreme environments
I've been watching loads of survival documentarys lately where they run out of water etc.. This is something good to know.
Yes, and also if you run out of alcohol :-)
Great tip!!! I will do this when my daughter is curious about distillation. Thank you so much.
That's cute
Really cool video! I will have o remember that for sure if I needed water. Heads up: If you are to drink distilled water for the purposes of survival, it is highly recommended to add a tiny bit of the salt biproduct back into the result. This is to ensure you are getting a proper PH level in your rehydration and the effects will overall improve your body functions.
I love your bird. So beautiful and thanks for the survival info.
Used this for my science project! Thanks so much
A very clever method - thanks for this idea - i will try it out this summer
All the best from Switzerland
THIS WAS A GOOD PRESENTATION AND WELL EXPLAINED. THANKS
Amazing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
End of the world????? No problem. Nighthawks got your back 👍🏻
Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge! It will help me sleep easier at night! 😊
this is really really a good video, thank YOU!
Thanks for this demonstration boss now I know how to do distillation of salt water
Oh gosh how adorable are you and your bird! Good video! Informative, no wasted time, useful info..... Subscribed!
great video
really enjoyed it
learnt so much
great clear info. Appreciate it!
Fascinating.... brilliantly simple
Thx ... cheers
thank you so much for your video. you gave me the answer that I was waiting for so long: what if lonely without money, stranded outside....
You look like you already got the lonely thing checked off the list.
Now you just need to train the bird to bring sticks for the rocket stove and you have 10 million views 👍
thank you for taking your time to teach us :)
This is a genius piece of knowledge to put in your back pocket.
Thanks a lot I never thought of such a technique, that can really save life's latter this century when fresh water becomes increasingly difficult to obtain
Now if only I could find some gypsum to make glass bottles up here on this mountaintop I'm trapped on -_-;
Once in while I actually get video suggestion that I'm glad I watched 👍👍
This is amazing and I'm going to do this. Thank you very much.
Thanks for sharing. The simplest system I have seen is to fill a pot about 1/3 full, put a bowl in the middle, with a domed lid inverted on top. The water boils, condensates on the lid, and drips into the bowl. Simple to remove the distilled water and simple to refill the pot.
Made my day when you said you live in Michigan
