- When people talk about survival, they tend to focus on making fire. That’s fine, as I tend to enjoy setting things on fire almost as much as blowing things up. However, for this video, I wanted to cover purification of water. Yes, if you’re really sucking, you can drink dirty water and worry about getting sick down the road (as opposed to dying of dehydration). No one really gives this subject much thought, as we always just carried Iodine tablets everywhere we went. Well, there are lots of different options out there. Some are better than others. Some are faster than others. Some taste better than others. Which of these matters most will depend on your situation or mission. I know I talk fast in the video… so here are a few notes for you:
Boiling (Heat) Boil for 10x minutes, or Rolling Boil at least 1x minute
Does not remove Chemicals / Heavy Metals / Prions / Spores (botulism & fungal)
Chemicals (add to water, and wait 30 minutes)
Iodine/ Chlorine/ Chlorine Dioxide/ Calcium Hypochlorite
Tablets or Drops
Does not remove Chemicals / Heavy Metals / Spores
Filtration
“It’s all about the size”
viruses are .02 - 0.1 micron; bacteria are 0.5 -5 micron; parasites are usually 1-5 micron in size
Life Straw; Hand Pumped; Gravity Fed
UV light (254 nanometers for 90 seconds, in clear water)
SteriPEN (uses batteries)
Distillation (Evaporation of the dirty water; then recapture of the steam, cooled into condensed water droplets in separate clean container)
I hope you look at the options and see some techniques may be fine for survival, while other techniques may be better for hiking and camping. So, enjoy the video. I’ll cover the different chemical treatments in a separate video. Don’t forget to comment below.

Noticed a huge food shortage is coming. Your channel will get me through when everything comes falling down at once. Also to anyone. I would reccomend buying a lot of long term shelf life food. So dont spend your money on drinking and smoking. Spend your check on your survival
Very important, since you're talking about cold weather use -- the filters you're using here (definitely the Life Straw, pretty sure about the Pur also) cannot be allowed to freeze. The micro structure of the filter will crack if water freezes in it, and it will no longer remove pathogens, though water will still flow through it once it thaws, so you won't know it's not protecting you. You can keep it next to your body if you're in intermittently freezing conditions (such as an overnight frost), but in extremely cold weather you should pick a different method.
Love your channel, great info from real experts, keep it coming!
You guys deserve WAY more views & subs, i was shocked when i saw you guys didn't had a few million subs!, anyways, you guys got a new subscriber !
Thanks. We would love to have a Million Subs, but don't want to do the stupid jackassery that a lot of the "popular" channels do. Rather, we want to focus on good content. Help us spread the word. Thanks for watching. Strength & Honor, TR
Will do, keep on going ! i've learned so much from you guys.
Wonder Wijzer
Yes, It is incredible. Camera work, graphics, hosts, experience. My favorite one. I wish they had more videos about long range shooting and some tactical/hikking stuff (shoes etc.).
very niche
How isn't this channel insanely big?
Thanks Kyle, we are a relatively new channel but are doing our best to grow. Help us spread the word by sharing with anyone you think might be interested. Strength and Honor, TR
You guys should do small little give aways where you get people to like your Facebook/twitter/instagram and subscribe to get more attentions. Or something along those lines
Because bread and circus keep people from focusing on what's important.
I like the "boil water, then filter water system" myself, it just gives me more confidence about the water I'm drinking.
Best to filter, then boil.
Tactical Rifleman thanks for the information I was going to do it the other way around but I'll try it the way your saying.
Tactical Rifleman Why is it better to filter first?
I'm here because ino whats coming after Corona.. at some point the economy is going to collapse I want to learn to be more independent from the system
Eh it's not gonna collapse. Everything isnt gonna go out of control and the world isnt about to end. But good that your educating yourself on these situations just in case

PREPARE YOURSELF
@@nationsss2616 The news are purposely hiding how worldwide farms are closing and crops are being destroyed by natural disasters. Things really may be as bad as it some are making it because the yt videos I've seen show a lot of convincing evidence and the people who make it themselves are usually pretty terrified.
large opening is for ice cubes. turn your canteen upside down to prevent cap freezing shut.
best and most easiest to understand water purification video I've seen so far
Thanks for watching, TR
destilation won't get rid water of all the chemicals, just those with higher boiling point then water. Just be aware of that please
The best channel on UA-cam.
The best water purification videos I've seen in a long long time if ever. Thanks for taking the time to make it, it was very
I watch your videos for the knowledge that one day if I’m stuck in some calamitous situation I might remember this and live another day. Thank you!
Thanks for watching,TR
I highly recomend against the life straws. I was 100 miles deep in Denali national park and was relying on the life straw for water. It plugged up instantly so we had to stop our travels to get some glacial water boiling. Get a good reliable pump filtration device.
Thank you!
Well presented. Good advice.
OUTSTANDING CHANNEL. Absolutely one of the best UA-cam channels I’ve found so far. I’ve been hunting for 35 years spent 23 years in law enforcement and spend a lot of my free time shooting or enjoying the out of doors.Your content is extremely informative and easy to follow.Thank you for sharing your training and experience I’ll be sure to pass you channel on to like minded individuals.
Thanks for watching. Strength & Honor, TR.
Let me give you a little warning about the steam distillation method. I’m retired now after 47 years in Refrigeration and air conditioning. Since 1990 I have worked mostly in restaurant refrigeration and have gotten some very good water filtration training for the food service industry. Before that I was in the US Navy, rode a carrier to Nam, the USS Kitty Hawk. I was in engineering, engine rooms and auxiliaries as well. A US Navy warship NEVER makes fresh water within 50 miles of land because the ships evaporators cannot remove or phase bio’s. We’d make feed water for the boilers but never fresh water. Charcoal filters are the best method by far, and boy are you right to tell people to check what the micron rating is. With some of them you might as well filter the water through your sock!! Another reasonably new method is using UV light to “clean” the water. It’s too long for me to type it all out but I am very familiar with UV having been around UV systems since the late 80”s. Stay away from these things like the damn thing will give you syphlis!! they don’t work well and for the most part people completely misunderstand UV. These things are not a good idea!!
Mike, Thanks for sharing. TR
If you get your hands on an extremely good filter, could you filter the water, then boil the water?
Always can. If you feel the need to filter + boil, you can. But you might want to make sure the thing you're boiling it in doesn't contaminate the water with what you just filtered and can't boil. You may want to: boil -> cool -> filter instead - it seems more logical, but hey, wait for the big guy to reply. :D
I see he never responded to you. He answered in another comment that you filter then boil. 👍
Who else is here because of corona
hahaha me
bryan Fort lmao me 😂😂 I swear all the nerds gonna survive this lol
Right 😂 Better to be informed BEFORE anything bad happens
Me too. I’m going to start growing my own fruit and veg, clean my water, stop relying on big corporations to run my life. I’ve had enough of the perception of modern life
Corona hoax
Thank you!! Salute big homie!!!
You should also keep combination purification/ filtration in mind. You don't have to just use one method.
I'd recommend getting some coffee filters as an initial step in sediment filtration. You can tie one to the top of a bottle or use an elastic band.
Filter your water through the coffee filter, then boil that water or put your purification tablets in, it'll make them more effective.
Also a good idea to put a coffee filter at the end of your lifestraw to catch larger sediment. It'll increase the lifespan of your filter.
Another great video from the guys at TR I’m going out in August up in northern nh and spend a week up there and I want to idk maybe bring back some memories from the service I like being scared just don’t get that a home so I want struggle haha ok I’m sorry I rambled but this video was great now I few different ideas what I wanna do for water
Very good. Thank you very much
just learnd something, thanks for the lesson, you guys are great!
Nalgene bottles are great, super durable and if you throw a splash guard in it then you are basically splash free
You may want to add using a bandanna or better yet a millbank bag to pre filter all the floating crud out of your water source. That will save you a lot of time and money. You will not need to clean your filters as often and it will give more life to ceramic, charcoal, or any other kind of filters. You also will not be ingesting silt, leaves, mosquito larvae etc.
My dad has traveled around the world for 20 years and swears by his Atlantis Water Purifier Cup. I recommend y'all check them out.
Great video. Could you put some water in a bottle or cup or a pot and then drink with the lifestraw so you don't have to stand on your head on the river bank to get a little drink? Could be a new survival hack. Someone should do a video.
Of course, but you're contaminating the cup.
purify water with a moonshine still
Can't get better instruction anywhere!
NASA is predicting a drought of epic proportions. Surviving 101 brought me here.
Pre filter will save your mechanical life. Also keep near your body so it does not freeze in cold weather.
Very true
amazing stuff bro
Thanks for watching, TR
For me it’s the best solution using a quality water filter like Lifestraw, because all the other methods need time, and you probably don't have any spare time to waste. But there are also more quality water filters and you can also boil the water. Boiling the water and cool it needs time, but it is still better than chemical purification, which remain an aftertaste, but you still need to wait.
Lifestraw only gets down to 0.1 Micron. THe Survivor Filter (similar size) gets down to 0.02 Micron. THanks for watching, TR
Welcome to Texas.
Made an O-face at that nalgene canteen cup. Mind blown 🤯
I love my Metal cups. They're great for boiling water to fill up the bottles.
JW TV lead me to this channel good intel.
can you also melt the snow
So the audio was muffled and the music was so loud I couldn't hear you. Can you do the video over? Thanks
This is always a pain in the ass problem of all army since ancient times. Sand purification or hoping to find a clean river or well is not realistic. You will need 15 gallons to fill up bottles of a 30 men platoon per day, just for drinking, no cooking. Boiling becomes more danger nowadays when the enemies also capable of night vision and infrared.
Therefore, chemical treatment and osmosis pressure filtering were the only 2 choices you have. Uv is just an option. And surprisingly, no factory makes a osmosis filter with a build in uv lights portable? Only Japanese did, but that one was a size of a diesel generator design for disaster situation, such as earthquake rescue. Event you have all these gucci equipment, if there is no reliable water supplies, it is still a pile of dead weight!
Intriguing.
How isn't this a TV show yet?!?
We ask that question as well
Be great, as long as you get full say in what's on the show & the producers/directors, don't remove/ban all the actual good content, and leave it as just another vanilla cooking channel the networks push!
Ty for the video.
Thanks for watching, TR
Great video's. Keep it up. However you are disinfecting the water not purifying it..These methods are awesome and are what I use however you can not get rid of chemicals or heavy metals from the water. You are only killing viruses, protozoa. also rolling boil for two minutes. Rolling boil is used as a visionary Q that everything is at temp and dead. everything is really dead at about 150 degrees but who carries a thermometer with them.. keep up the good work.
How would one clean water of chems and metals in a survival situation?
Perfect
Thanks for watching, and don’t forget to check out part 2 and the other survival videos in our video archive. TR
Thanks for the video............................................................. & THUMBS UP : )
I just found you channel with the car gear video. Nice job. ?? How do you account for mineral and salt loss when in a survival situation? I ask because I overheated my body working outside & kept drinking plain ice cold water. As the day went on I felt worse and ended up totaling my car from a few seconds of blackout. The paramedics said in theory I did what one would think was correct but it was all wrong. I should have had some sort of sports drink and been drinking at room temp. Most don't carry this when hiking. Thanks
Actually, the military has WHO rehydration salts, that are like unflavored Gatorade packets. We never used them, as we preferred actual Gatorade packets. You need salt and Potassium to keep the muscles from cramping. Magnesium and other electrolytes are also important. Basically, a normal diet provides all of these except during periods of extreme exercise and sweating. Normal hikes in the woods, again, you should get plenty of electrolytes from your food. That said, I like to carry the little Emergen-C packets, and the single litter Gatorade packets
Just go to kfc or McDonald's, pick up couple bags of sugar and salt when you buy your burger and save it. Your mre also have some prepacked. never been a problem since long time ago.
@@TacticalRifleman Thank you. I never new about the packest or Emergen C.
I just love free minded people
Bruh we won’t have all those cups in case the world goes to shit
The thing about melting the snow, isn’t it just using the same energy to melt it that you would get by drinking it?
No, because that heat was being given off anyways inside your jacket. Eating the snow also chills the core of the body. Either way, ensure you are using clean snow.
Tactical Rifleman Oh ok
Seems like a good idea would be to filter the water THEN boil it
~~ I'm here prepping for a zombie apocalypse :P
But in a scenario in which you have no tools, no items (no pots pans bottles or buckets), just your bare hands... How do you purify?
That would be a different video. You can make a filter, but expedient ones do not work well. Boiling would be your best bet. Even trash bottles and cans, found on the side of the road can be boiled in. I have seen water boiled in a bent up hood of a old car. Not great, but better than drinking contaminated water. The key is that you never quit. Thanks for watching, TR
@@TacticalRifleman Thanks for the reply! I saw a guy boil water in a tree stump lol. Whatever works!
can you please share a link of the products you used?
Am i hearing it correctly snow is clean and you can drink it?? Are you sure???
DEJA VU yes. Snow is fine to drink without going through all this trouble.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease tell me what the song in the background is
Doesnt even show a charcoal sand combination filter widdleded out of a log? Or bamboo if lucky enough....
Johnny, I do mention filters as a viable method. No, I didn't mention homemade filters, but I also didn't mention homemade Chlorine dioxide. There's just too many other sub-types to cover in one short video. So, don't bash. Thanks for watching. Strength & Honor, TR.
What about miox pen
Honestly, I don't have enough experience with it to give you an honest opinion. I'm not one of those guys that just regurgitates what he heard on the internet. Sorry. Thanks for watching, TR
Snow is not clean water
No, but SOOO much better than drinking mountain runoff
he sounds like hulk
Distilled water can kill you! Read more on the minerals needed for drinking it!!!
Peter, while drinking specifically JUST distilled water can cut you deadly short on certain minerals, I disagree with your statement, as you are scaring people from using a potentially great source of clean water. Out in a survival situation, drinking distilled water is MUCH safer than drinking potentially contaminated water or salt water. Thanks for watching. TR
Well...yes and no....if you drink distilled water for a couple of days while sweating away essential minerals and urinating more (because of the lack of minerals) things can go wrong.....pretty fast. Perhaps you can do a special on how to use this great option safely. Myself i use an old big cooking pan with clamps to shut the lid solid and copper piping running through a cold water source. I replace the minerals with simple supplements from the pharmacy.... If you dont prep for a heart-attack you are not a prepper, the biggest threat to your body comes from within. If you do a threat-analysis on factors that can hurt or kill you, like I did, its not the nuclear war that gets you....
I don’t know about that man at one point in my life I literally only drank Pepsi everyday for about 5 years did my health go downhill sure it did but I’m alive to talk about it and that was five years working a tough job doing foodservice delivery. You telling me drinking distilled water could be worse than that.
Yes it can, if you dont refill on minerals. The problem once again is not drinking distilled water, it's the lack of the minerals wich can make things worse. You can drink distilled water untill you're 120 years old if you compensate for the lack of minerals/salts/metals. I have a mini-still in my bug-out-trailer with the minerals to compensate. I am just warning people that if you drink distilled water.... do it safely or it can kill you! Read up on he subject on the internet. Regarding the cola, it's a better fluid to have in a pinch than water...it has sugars (good and bad) wich help you think clearly, minerals etc. The only "bad" things in cola are acidity and caffeine. the acidity dissolves the minerals (calcium/magnesium) in your teeth and bones wich makes them more likely to break and the cafeine can make a diarrhea worse. But if you look at pounds you have to carry related to calories, old-fashioned cola is a better choice than water. When the cola runs out you can use the empty plastic bottles in great ways for survival (cleaning water etc).
Just do a google search on "magnesium in drinking water related to heart disease" and you will see that it makes a difference in even normal drinking water under normal conditions. If you wanna prep prep for the biggest risks in your life....it's great to have 50.000 rounds of ammo for when North-Korea (lol) invades but if you are in the hospital with heart-disease because you didn't take in enough vitamins and minerals or you use your gear wrong I consider those rounds a gift to my family when shtf. How big is the chance of north-korea invading vs how big is the chance of getting a heart-attack. Spend your money and energy where it matters and in the right order. We are all smart people or else we wouldnt be on this channel, do the research.
can i get the names of the devices used in the video please?
Which devices?
I had to use the pen in the stan. Good stuff.
Anyone know how to remove fluoride and chlorine from water without having to buy filters?
