Thats among the most creative primitive skills ive ever seen. Great vid!
Great info! This would suck, but this is info that could save your life. Love it, Keep it up.
That's cool I camp and do a lot of outdoor stuff and I would have never thought of that. Thank you
Thanks I needed this.
Sometimes, I get the feeling like I am watching the same facts, over and over, with all of these outdoor survival videos. Then I see a video like this that gives me a clever trick I wouldn't have thought of.
One of my instructor lived two years in the bush with absolutely no modern tools and he only came back because he wanted too. You can live as long as you want.
Wow Ive never heard of that! thanks you have helped me out.
Outstanding.
Great video like always
this is dope thank you
Wow ! What a cool way to have boiling water. Thank you for sharing and Blessings !
I'm learning a lot thnx
great idea
I can't wait to take a course.
Gotta love that clay! Can be used for so many things
Wonderful
Awesome video! Very useful information
I really liked this method Rob, thanks! Also, I would think using the same method to make the bowl, then putting an improvised rock kiln around it, could possibly be one way to fire harden the bowl.
yes that is a good idea
Awesome
I knew about using hot rocks, but I never considered the clay bowl approach. Neat!
Man, that is an awesome survival skill. It would sure work where I am...we have plenty of that good 'ol Oklahoma Red Clay like crazy around here...lol.
Wont most of the water just evaporate? is there anyway to cover that while its boiling?
I've never seen/considered doing this before. Intriguing! If I was in need of drinking water I'd put a tarp where that steam is drifting to collect it! It wouldn't have to be filtered or left to settle out!
you guys have helped me out a good bit with a couple things, so i will give a bit out advice, have you guys ever thought about using a deers stomach as a water container and dropping the rocks into it? the clay is a good idea but the water is very muddy which will make it a bit unappetizing
Could work in a salt water situation also? Make a makeshift still to catch the condensation from the boiling steam and bam you could probably collect much faster than the old method of just using the sunlight to do it.
I always wanted to try this. Sadly, the 1.1 million acre New Jersey Pine Barrens only contain river rocks. Amazing to think you can traverse all of this land and never trip over a rock. We got lots of sugar sand, though. I guess that's something.
Cool
Nice video
I wonder if you could modify a Dakota fire pit to heat up the underside of that basin you made (or a smaller one) almost like an underground stove that you cook directly on top of... ?
Yummy!
If you have the rocks heated properly the "washing" method does work with very little heat loss.
Ok cool, awesome. That's not bad at all on price.
Great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Watching gave me an idea I would like to consult with all of you. How about making a small fire in the clay basin to sort of "bake" the clay and turn it into primitive pottery bowl. Just an idea, let me know if it even makes sense to you.
zull7 gaming it would crack the clay and make the water go through it. this technique can also be done in a sip well. or hole in in the ground.
if or when i can afford it i would love to take these courses heck id fly all the way from california to attend
another outstanding vid....also if your close to a source of clay...start making pots!
Now what-we have boiling mud-so. Do I place a pan down inside of the Muddy Water? Cold you make a video on the next steps of use. I have to say that a Rocket Furnace seems to work a bit easier.
Maybe a really big rock kind of flat enough to put little rocks on in the middle of fire would work better?. That way the little rocks which give out heat faster are also charcoal free so the water looks a lot cleaner to drink? Like the big rock is on the charcoals , hopefully only big in width (thin but wide)that way it can transfer heat to the other smaller stones on top if it ? Keeping the water a little cleaner. Just a an idea I got watching your helpful videos.
Hey Robert, what does a basic survival course cost?
Clay has the consistency of silly putty. It is different from dirt because it stays tightly bonded together even when dried out. Once dried it will become breakable and turns to powder when pulverized. Clay can be formed into any shape silly putty can be formed into. Clay with about 12-18% water saturation is an amazing survival commodity. Heated, certain types of clay can be used to make dishes, cups, urinals (too cold to leave shelter ie sleeping) and bricks. A clay dutch oven is awesome.
1 question-
that water is a litle brown and with stufff in it is it safe for coocking?(boiling and stuff)
nah it aint too bad if you know how to ride in it, i used to take my fwd civic in red clay all the time when it was wet and only got stuck 1 time. forewheeler ride in it all the time its fun as heck too.
would the water still be drinkable if you waited untill it cooled and the sediment sank to the bottem?
all you need to get the water to is over 170 degrees for 10-15 minutes and the water is pasterized, which is more than enough for safe drinking water. it doesn't need to technically boil to be safe. this is common practice worldwide.
How did u find clay
What about building the fire over the clay bowel, to turn it into pottery? A permanent pot? Thanks for the vid.
Don't use or drink that! It's not hot enough to be sanitized and you will only quicken your demise in a survival situation
east to west water boils at over 200 degrees. Bacteria dies at like 150.
OK, I stand corrected.
You can also use a water tight stump with a hole in it. Cleaner than clay.
this is a good idea if you have clay soil but here in michigan its not clay so you couldnt really make one could you?
VERY NICE TRICK. EVERY TIME YOU WANT FROM NOTHING SAFE WATER TO DRINK
i spose red clay would work we got a ton of that around here this is pretty awesome if you have nothing you could at least survive.
as yes we did boil the water, it boiled for quite some time.
couldn't you have also use the clay to make a bowl? just heat treat it? or is that a different kind of clay?
Thats what I was thinking. And yes, that clay could have been made into a simple pottery bowl, and of course the water would have been clean after it was boiled.
This channel has some great ideas on it, this was not one of them.
I have read that it is benificial to consume small quantities of clay, like detoxifying properties and such, so cooking like this may not be such a bad idea. I was wondering though, why didn't you just build the fire in the hole? Wouldn't that create a hard clay shell that won't muddy up the water? Just a thought.
Did you just boil the water in the wet clay, or did the clay set and dry first?
David St.Clair either way it will get wet, so it doesn't matter. you can just dig a hole next to a creek and do the same thing. either way the water will be dirty. but you can let it settle in a container and pour the clean water off if the dirt bothers you. But honestly a lil clay is good for your system.
You don't want hot muddy water, you want crystal clear piping hot spring water but thats at the Hilton in Atlanta!
2 important questions?
#1: Is that water safe to drink straight out the ground when it's boiling?
#2: Could you hold a small cup in the steam and let the steam turn into water and drink that like a make shift solar still?
No and no.
OR you could make a clay vessel and boil your water in that and avoid getting all that nasty mud in there.
its perfectly safe to drink bacteria wise, tis been killed though you might want to weave a mesh of sorts to filter out the clay and dirt.
i didnt know bamboo water collection vessels grew in appalachia
Hey sigma how much are your hats ?? I'd like to have one.
it is SAD that today's technology takes over natural instinct. I am trying to get back to the basics; I served in the Military, but forgot most of my "basic survival" tips..(I am soaking in all i can, and reading my old manuals to keep on my toes, and to survive if we were to be "abandoned by society". Thanks for the tips! (about the boiling, I would use a t-shirt for the "draining" of the sediment" not the best, but just as good as cheesecloth! You guys rock!
I would drink it out of the hole as is. if you have a weak stomach then filter the sediment
Good idea in a last resort .. But before I do this I'll be hollowing out a log with fire and coals and using hot rocks to boil the water .. That and I would rather drinks some chard taisting water over mud water.. The rocks if you don't make the clay thick enough can puncture the clay walls, I have found ( with the right clay) if you build a fire in the "clay dish" that it will harden the clay making it stronger .. Just a suggestion to anyone that needs to do this .. But be carful to much heat I'll crack the clay .. You will be better off just using the wet clay in a lot of cases
could creek water be poured over hot rocks, and the runoff boiled water be collected in some container , such as a bamboo, and then safely drank? Would seem easier than doing the ground thing.
Wouldn't you want a smaller, secondary pit to quickly dunk the rocks in before you throw them in your drinking pit to remove unwanted dirt, ash and charcoal?
If you fire hardened the clay first the muddy water wouldn't be a problem. Most people have an aversion to cloudy looking water for cooking, and drinking.
I didnt even think of that. I was thinking chip a stone cup.
Great !!! Difficult something new and useful ... But you got !!! Congratulations !!! Boiled water, if possible, two or three times, then passed through a tissue, or leaving land solid and taking precious water from the surface ... Decantation... Is what is safer ... The very bamboo could be used to ferever puddle of water, cool and boil again, then go through a woven bamboo ... If you can not be on a large sheet or a piece of wood carved ... Its basic idea is to best I've seen ... Boil ... Thy followers, pupils are well prepared ... !!!
Huh, now im wondering is that the same stream and rocks from your how to shit in the woods video? You know, the one you just took a dump at and the same rock you wiped your ass with and then washed off in the stream. So how much extra boiling time does it take to purify toilet water to cook in and drink? Or do you only shit in it after you've taken out what u want to use?
+Terri W huh, now im wondering how stupid someone can be
no not really. but if your worried about it you can dunk them once in the creek or another container first to clean the rocks off
deer stomachs aren't exactly in high supply and only good for a short amount of time
Why not fire harden the bowl?
Better still would have been to have made your bowl and if there was plenty of time, wood and water, and/or if you planned to use the bowl a number of times, make a fire in the bowl to "fire" the clay, which then becomes glazed and that would prevent all that much forming (after clearing out the ashes and dust, of course.
Might be a good idea to work some grass or leaves into the clay to bond it, maybe make a pot that way that can sit on the ashes and/or have the hot rocks added. I must try it some time.
You're generally correct about not taking rocks from the streams, but I've found that igneous rocks are less likely to send out dangerous shrapnel than sedimentary rocks,. Some igneous rocks taken from a stream a e less likely to explode than some sedimentary rocks taken off the ground.
It's a good idea to experiment with different rocks as long as you aren't to near the fire.when till it cools down a bit.
You need to bake clay at extreme heat for a long time to make it hard. The types of products you see as common household items(even cheap ones) need a long time to cure and an even heat otherwise they fall apart at first use.
Not if you set it up under a busy branch. lol
Yes, let it cool before drinking. Some of the sediment will settle. A dew rag over your cup will filter a bit more, but there is pretty much no way to get rid of it all with this method. Water boils at 212º F.
Hot Water Causes Third Degree Burns…
…in 1 second at 156º
…in 2 seconds at 149º
…in 5 seconds at 140º
…in 15 seconds at 133º.
Few people bathe at a water temperature over 110º F, just as a reference.
Semper Fi
well you get the idea. this would be fine for cooking, just dunk food off in clean water after cooking. I would try to filter the water of sediment after boiling it.
Sigma 3 Survival School Why not just cook it in the fire? I hope you gave your students their money back after this class.
you could rig up a way to catch the steam and have some clean water .
stream water is not inherently always safe to drink. while your better of drinking flowing water than still water(sutch as a lake) you can still get very sick if you dont purify.
KynigosTheWolf Tom said steam not stream.
Tom Ellsworth solar stills are an easy way to do that and you can make that with a clear plastic bag and a container for your water. A bowl would be nice too so that you don’t have to drink from a plastic bag.
Doesn't the ash coating the rocks make the water dangerous to drink? Like lye?
Bamboo grows where?
I love y'all's videos... so don't listen to these people whom don't understand survival!
I know from working with clay it should be sealed due to leads in the clay for food purposes
If you let the water sit in a container for a while then most of the clay should go to the bottom and the water will be pretty clear on top.
Thank-you for your reply. However I was asking about the average Joe out there not an expert instructor. The question was "realistically" which means a nonprofessional.
Sigma?
*Sigmaballs*
Why not just use a small backpacker's water purification filter? I don't know about you guys, but I always have some sort of water bottle with me when I'm out in the middle of nowhere.
this is more for aboriginal or primitive skills.
where I live that would work well nothing but clay
clay pottery takes a long time to make. this is really fast
Not telling you that you can in your locale necessarily, just here at ours. Not sure how I would describe clay to someone who has never seen it...
If you throw the bamboo container on the fire, it wont burn until after the water has reached boiling point.
i would of thought the clay baked even for an hour would make a bowl longer baking means harder pottery im not 100% sure
nah i meant only stuck 1 time in my car, ive been stuck in trucks and atvs countless times haha. but i got a winch and snatch block on my atv that will get me out of anything if i have a long enough strap.
The steam could be condensed and used also
+Joseph Anderson my thought exactly, distilled clean water, plastic or screens would probably work. tripod over the bowl, with plastic over it with some small round rocks outside forming depressions for the water to drip from with the corners and edges higher.
or a leaning few layers of screen over the bowl with one corner down for the water to drip from, kinda like a fog screen.
Every thought of using the clay to coat the bamboo, then place the bamboo between hot coals to bake and boil the water? This way the clay can prevent the bamboo from burning from direct heat.
in Javanese language bamboo tubes are called lodong
no it would crack to pieces and not hold water.
You should pick up steam with something to get clean water
Not sure I'd use the water for cooking.
Hei, in front sorry for my English, not from the US.
If you have bark from birch as we in Norway have a lot of or bamboo like you had. You can cook in that. Or in paper bags, plastic bags and so on
Wont the water be all dirty with all the mud and dirt you roll in with the rocks?
+angers karin
Natural dirt is not poisonous. Unless you happen to settle beside some heavy industry.
+Chris K Dude is that why Berkey makes filters from dirt instead of ceramic. Make yourself a mud hole, boil some water in it and post a video of you drinking a nasty glass of that brew.
Brumfield Some peoples like the taste of mudin their water lol there better ways to boil water
I usually dont answer to comments this old but really... do you now what ceramics is??? Pause to lett you think it over... Ceramics is CLAY I really dont know what more to say then that I Believe the point of the video was to show that you can boil water in a whole in the ground -hence the name - it is safe to drink after boiling but most likely - as with most survival food IMO - not palatable.
u already built a wood fire... why build a steam one after it? :) its good to know though...
If you haven't got a pot or kettle to cook your water in, this'll be handy
The water still didn't look too clean... do you then filter it through a shirt or clothing?
GREAT!!! the next time i want to drink boiling mud i'll try this... seriously WTF??? just use the bamboo since you had it, i'd rather boil water in my boot... that was pointless...
better than drinking mud lol
PRODIGAL SUN You let the muddy water cool down & the mud goes to the bottom & you get clear water. Plus alittle 'mud' has stuff your body can use.
