Boiling Water in a Wazoo Bag Emergency Survival Hack
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 чер 2019
- You should always have a container with you. I prefer to have one that is single-walled and metal so that I can boil water in the wild to make it safe to drink. However, sometimes we find ourselves unprepared and have to improvise.
In this video, I show my technique for boiling water in the bags that are featured in both the Everyday Essentials and Adventure Kits from Wazoo Survival Gear. These kits are designed to be emergency micro-kits that fit in the Cache Belt.

First time I have seen an actual boil demonstration in a plastic container. Thanks for the education.
I was definitely skeptical about it, but your explanation of how the water acts as a coolant made sense.
That is a great idea. I watched your video on the cache belt with the bags, but have never seen this boiling demonstrated. This channel has great information. Thanks.
Somehow you managed to add a whole lot of suspense to just boiling water. Will the bands give way, will the bag slip out or melt away... Was waiting for the a big Splash the whole time. Now I just want some tea.
It’s hard to make boiling water exciting, so I take that as a compliment
If you really were a Green Beret then thank you for your service. My cousin is a Green Beret
Yes he was. If your cousin is truly a Green Beret and you know him well, then you should know instinctively about Josh. Also, Josh has shown photos and he does not speak like a Poseur. Discernment man, discernment. Yes, there are Poseurs out there pretending to be Green Beret, SEAL, SF etc. who commit Stolen Valor due to insecurity or some retarded agenda. Josh is not one of them.
Thanks Andrew! Yes, I really was. I recognize your screen name AC, if I remember right from other comments you are a younger guy (I’m guessing teens?) just getting started down this Survival and preparedness road?
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret you handled young man gently like a true Graybeard 😉👍
Excellent demo. I would like to add two things but it no way is this critical and hope it is not taken that way. I would turn the wide side of the bag to the fire and to your clamping stick use a small piece of small diameter copper wire in place of the ranger band. We used to call it beak away wire in aviation. It’s a handy thing to have in your kit. Thank you for all your vids.
I was wondering if the increase in pressure would explode the bag, until I saw the steam escaping. very cool method.
That coat is sick.
Depending on your terrain you could use a bark container, birch bark is best, and as long as you keep the flames below the water level you can boil water and even cook in it.
Absolutely could, just not what this particular video was isolating
Brilliant. I've seen this done with other bags but these bags were made for cooking and will not release anything unhealthy.
Nice! We used to teach Scouts to boil water in a paper cup or cook bacon and eggs in a paper bag.
BTW, the salamander was awesome!
I forgot to put him at first in so I went back to editing real quick, he deserved his 7 seconds of fame
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret definitely!
Now I think I’m ready for the Adventure Kit.
French is a wonderful language, and has brought us lots of neat phrases and words: hors d'ouevres (say "or derves"), sacre bleu (sockra bluh), and the day's word: viola (wah la).
This method of water disinfection/purification is good to know. I learn so much from your channel. I thank you for what you do.
"Those really tiny pancakes?" --- Ricky Bobby
Great. now I have to go out and see if I can boil an entire turkey bag full of water over an open fire. 😆
be careful of the new turkey bags, theyved changed the manufacturing process and now split at seams when carrying water in them. its safer to tie a knot at the bottom of the bag. RAH!!!
Great video and technique to add to the kit bag. I hope when I finally take off the uniform I can put as much time and energy in my videos as you have with yours. It’s a struggle to find the balance between being a 1SG, family time, and desire to create some content but overall I’m stoked. Thanks again for dedicating time to bringing quality fieldcraft vids to the community.
On your own with the viola thing 🤣🤣
Sure John! Leave me in the trenches taking grenades!
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret never let it be said i left a man behind viola it is
do a youtube series on how many times can you boil the bag :U would be interesting to find out, the world needs to know
anyway cool vid gonna get me a bag or two
I will hang on to the bag and keep testing the same one as time permits, I can’t see dedicating time to it. I think it will hold up for several uses
It really does work , thanks for the demostration, I left a comment a couple days ago about how it would work , and you got right on it , I really appreciate that , much respect .
You could use the bag full of water, hung over the fire, to start the fire that boils the water.
That would make for an interesting video. But the same belt this bag came in has a small ferro rod and my pocket has a lighter. Less interesting but more realistic I think
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret agreed. Just one more possible use for that oven bag though.
That’s pretty cool I’ve seen it done one plastic bottles but not a bag ..nice
Thank you for the clarification and thank You for your service Josh you helped our country greatly
The video that your wife “ The red braid” made on processing duck meat also taught me a lot
No matter what language you use to express something the meaning stays the same...in this case using English "There it is".
Good video...every time I learn something new it is good. Thanks!
Excellent demonstration kinda like boiling water in a plastic bottle
Bob Cooper showed us how to start the fire using water in a plastic drink bottle (750 mls- 1.5 litre coke whatever) as a magnifying lens, then boil the water in the bottle. That was in the Pilbara in northern Western Australia, but also worked in Sydney. Grandkids suitably impressed LOL.
Joshua - I really enjoy your videos. Very informative and easy to comprehend. Your kit is very light but it covers all the basics.
Joshua - My apologies I called you Jason in my original post. Really love the channel. Keep the videos coming.
this video has helped me more than you know. now I have the knowledge I needed to boil the water correctly. I will keep sending more viewers your way. thanks again for taking the time and giving the knowledge.
I’ve always wondered the best way to do this, thanks for uploading! Keep them coming!
Moving on to the Cache belt video. Thanks!
Joshua,I use an old Stanley thermos liner,,outer had rusted away,but there's a terrific S.S insert ,that I made a loop to return condensed H2o -not counting from what I get out of the liner itself,,
GreyWolf approved. ;at ease ,carry on
Thanks for that. I was skeptical of the utility of the bag, but you made a credible case for it. As you point out, it is limited in durability, but adequate for the task as a back up. Good lesson and demonstration.
Add some small fish and some wild greens and you’ve got a party
Hey Josh, another exceptional vid there, as always... though I do have two alternate ideas I’d add to the mix. The first one has to do with viola vs. voila: unless you’re a very different kinda guy than you appear to be, I’d recommend “voila” since “voi” is French for “see” (as in “I see it!”, or “Here it is!”) while “viol” means “to rape”. The other has to do with Jewelweed. For years, I’ve heard people say it gets its name from the way the light reflects or refracts off the dewdrops on its leaves, but there’s a “hidden jewel” reason that a naturalist and park ranger taught me about the plant when I was 10 or 12 and just beginning to learn about wild edibles that I think is it’s _real_ namesake. When the jewelweed pods ripen and are about to pop, if you’ll intentionally pop them into a pouch, you’ll find that they contain these little striated navette-shaped seeds, that look a bit like short, fat fat caraway seeds, if you then rub those seeds between your fingers, the thin, papery (and toxic - you’ll want to wash your hands afterwards) outer layer will peel away, revealing what looks like a perfectly polished Turquoise bead inside! And best of all, these little “jewels” are edible, and taste like an intense little walnut (but a tannin kick)! My old friend & mentor Alex Shoumatoff or his older brother Nick (I can’t remember which) showed me how to use a pinch of mashed jewelweed seeds with flour and water to make a more palatable camp bread. If you like the taste of walnuts, I’d recommend that you try it/them, but just remember that the seeds have the kind of flavor potency you’d expect from nutmeg, cinnamon or eucalyptus, so a little goes a long way!
Very compact. Cool setup too. Thanks for another great lesson.
I carry a regular oven bag in my wallet at all times. It works great for carrying water and is durable and heat resistant
I make my omelets in sandwich bags, drop the eggs in, ingredients and sit that thing down in a pot of boiling water, let it sit and cook for a few minutes then flip it over and do the same. Open the bag, dump the omelet out and there is the goodness.
Sounds pretty cool!
Another great video! I will use this skill to teach my Scouts another way to boil water. Thanks,
And I have been putting together multiple bug out bags and your review on the emergency survival 3600 cal emergency bars really helped because I was trying to decide between the SOS bars and the grizzly bars but I decided with the SOS
I always wondered if cooking bags could be used like this. Now I know. Thanks!
"Sous-vide" bags could work as well. Plenty of those amazon, haven't tried it yet myself (in the plans eventually) but they can go up to a decent temperature.
What a cool idea
Excellent demonstration. Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work!
That's awesome. I hadn't thought of that I carry oven bags but I have used them only to capture water thru transpiration in a desert environment. I carried them because they were more durable but hadn't thought about boiling in them.
Also good for relief from stinging nettle.
Thanks for the video! The sleeve you created is brilliant. Love Wazoo!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Outstanding video and outstanding product, to be able to have an emergency container at all that is so compact and always on you is great, to be able to disinfect and safely drink that water is a lifesaver. Never thought I’d be so impressed watching a video of a guy waiting for water to boil, haha
Correct I’ve been going along this survival road by myself for a long time now but I finally found a great channel to kind of guide me into place thank you for all of your Great content I actually just started your UA-cam channel a couple days ago And I fell in love
This was an epic video Thanks! Enjoy your weekend
Outstanding video. Great to see a different take on how to set up thermal disinfection.
Very sympathetic bearded man.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
We don't have mountain water here, but delta water needs to be boiled even more.
I would have never thought to use a couple rounded off sticks to use as a "brace" for holding the bag on the crane.
The ole “Bushcraft Chip Clip” haha
Fascinating, interesting information not found elsewhere
Good show! Thanks for sharing!
Great demo on boiling water in a bag . Thanks
I didn’t know that this was possible. Thanks for sharing. I will get an oven safe bag and put it in my water kit. 😊
I know I’ve never seen one before until your video it was a really good focal point and a really good transition into the next part of the video love the editing
Some really cool outside the box thinking, here. I admit I was confused by the toggles folded in the oven bag for a minute. Good stuff!
Thanks
Thanks for the demonstration! That's a handy tip to know.
Awesome tip! thank you for sharing!
Used this technique for cooking squirrel and other meats. Never thought about water, in a bag??? Nice video Josh!!!!
Yes, sir! I use a similar technique for cooking meat as well. That’s where I got this idea. You never know what skill will transfer and be a solution for another skill. More skill will always be better than less skill I always say.
I don't know why I hadn't already subscribed man, I've watched a few of your vids now and I really like your approach to explaining and testing things. I'd heard of this technique but brushed it off as an urban legend. Now I see it works. Not ideal like you say, but nice to know!
Welcome to the channel officially, then!
Thanks Josh. Smart adjunct to good kit.
Thanks, Andrew! Hope to show the skills that go with the kits, I’ve always thought the gear was never enough without the knowledge on how to best use it
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret Amen!
Another awesome video! So so informative. I will definitely put that bag back into my belt. I’ve said it before and I will say it again. Your videos are the best, hands down!! Can’t wait to see more. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the other supplies. Also, can you please show your belt put together on video. Thank you for all the awesome content that you put online.
Outstanding!
Great video brother, got a wazoo belt on order
Thanks, brother! I think you will like it!
Solid video. Great advice for the community
i am glad you show us all these tips and tricks that are so practical. It seems to me that after showing how to do it, it may seem simple and obvious but it is not. the essence of true improvization. great technique.. and yes va-oil-a.. Whale-oil-beef-act (think pirate) what a cool way to boil water and what a simple and very light emergency container... gonna try that.. thanks J
McGuyver of 2019 award goes to this guy. Does that work with a MRE beverage bag?
Never tried it with an MRE beverage bag before
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret was wondering just because well you can make coffee in them with hot water and maybe it was just me but I was shorta hoping that me saving the beverage pouches would actual not make me look like an idiot one day. Thanks for the response back and when I get a chance in a few days I will let you know if it actually worked.
That bag looks good for the sodis method too. Just add some foil or mylar.
Ewwwwww I like where your head is at. I haven’t done a SODIS vid yet. Thanks for the idea. I can tie this in with the regular bottles
I’ve never seen this actually done before..I’m really enjoying your videos!
very cool thanks for the demo
I liked the solusion of making a water bag holder! Great! Thanks.
Hi Josh! This was impressive. I knew it works in a plastic bottle. But in a bag? WOW! ATB André
Watching this particular water boil was Interesting, Awesome !!
👍🏻🇺🇸
Mighty cool variations on a theme there, Josh! Although I’ve never (yet) tried any of Wazoo’s products, you’ve just inspired me to, as the back up boil-in-bag thing is really appealing, as is your rounded stick lip/split stick suspension concept.
In the past, I’ve used the large size, heavy zipper bags from Craisins as water collectors, since they hold about 2 liters each and have a waterproof zipper for ease of transport, but I’m not as sure about their heat worthiness as these jobbies. Can’t wait to try these out, this summer!
Appreciate it Douglas!
Thank Josh , just bought some of these was wondering how to make best use of them. Hi from the UK
Very useful knowledge. Nice to see you incorporating some humour in your videos. Even if your wife says you’re not funny, trust me you are. Viola LOL. Let’s make a deal you teach me survival skills I’ll teach you English LOL. In all seriousness keep up the great work. Thank you
It's actually french "Voila!" as in "There!"
Great demonstration!
That was a really cool looking lizard
Red Spotted Newt, really cool
I've read of trappers back in the day making bowls from tree bark. So long as the flames don't reach above the water level the bark also doesn't catch fire and burn. Never seen anyone do it but bushcrafting a bark bowl would make a pretty awesome project.
If you move the crane 90 degrees to the current position the ranger band would be less likely to melt, the wider side of the bag would be presented to the fire and, I believe, the seams of the bag would be less likely to melt. You could still move the bag in and out relative to the fire, somewhat. Turning the bag inside out as you mentioned in the prep section would protect the seams, also. That's me "Monday morning quarterbacking", though. Thanks for this demo. I would have made a mess trying to use the bag without your instruction and, by the way, I bought the belt and several kits for it based on your earlier video review, so thanks there as well.
Nice, Thank you for sharing.
Very interesting as always my friend! I have a course this weekend and always enjoy sharing what I learn here w/others
Very good idea I would never though of that.Thank you.
What kind of sweater is that forest wizard Joshua, it looks comfy and warm.
WeatherWool Al’s Anorak. It goes wherever I go. Heirloom quality wool that my kids will have to fight over some day. In my opinion, I’m the future these will be as sought after by woodsmen as the Hudson Bay Blankets are today.
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret most definitely i want to get one myself, reminds me of my baja sweater. Ive had it for years and i have another baja sweater made with wool my grandmother in mexico sewn together for me when i was a teenager.
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret the
Selvedge Poncho looks promising too just expensive.
That Baja sweater made with wool from your Abuela is already an heirloom! Very cool
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret absolutely it is, i also have another sweater my other grandmother sewn for me from norway i also cherish and humbled that i have two grandmothers from two cultures i appreciate
It's my understanding that the sunlight alone will purify the water, if that's correct, why risk damage to the bag from fire?
While it’s true that SODIS does work, it requires the sun to be out, which is a rare thing in many places. It’s important to be able to do both, and this bag can
You can also use strong sunlight to kill off protozia and disinfect the water, using a bag or a clear plastic bottle. "Sodis" technique.
Learn something new everyday thanks
Joshua, thanks for sharing, great information, atb brother !
Heck you just made me realise that I don’t drink enough water.
Many of us don’t, myself included. It’s one of the reasons I teach that water may be a priority sooner than you think. Many are already operating at a lower hydration level all the time. A well hydrated person may have 2-3 days before dying of dehydration, but that’s not most of us
Very good idea. Have to try that with IKEA zip bags. You have great, down to earth videos with good information.
WAH-LAH!!! Thanks for doing this demo! I've been looking forward to it ever since you said you were going to demo individual pieces of the kit. I was wondering what the best way to do this would be, so it's kind of like boiling water in a paper bag, except you don't have the bag directly over the flame. I really appreciate the video! Thank you again!
Wallah? Thats Arabic! It's 'Vwah-lah!'
Great information thanks for the share
Slick.
I don’t recommend trying it for drinking, because single plastics release toxins, but you can boil water in a disposable plastic water bottle. Perfect for washing before turning in for for the night.
And just like that... VWALA!!
voila = used when showing to other people something that you have just made or got and are pleased with , is a french word :)))
I thought you were gonna eat the orange lizard 😀 Thanks for your cool videos. Nantasket Beach. 🇺🇸
Red Spotted Newt, brightly colored lets you know it’s skin is toxic. Wouldn’t be one you want to ingest. Only “mildly toxic” to humans, but still
That's cool! I'm gonna have to get me some of those bags.
I saw Led Stroud boil water in a plastic bottle one time, but very few of those are actually food grade and leach carcinogens into the water.
I have used plastic bottles before. These are definitely better options. In an emergency anything goes, though. You’ll die from dehydration way quicker than dying from cancer
AWESOME demo, brother! I'm even more impressed with the Wazoo Adventure Kit. They definitely should link your videos to their website. I honestly think it would help sell it with the hefty price tag. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Now I must go attempt to replicate. Keep up the excellent work! 👊
