Each of these filters are available on Amazon

In this video I will show how to build a water filter using an empty 2 Liter bottle and materials that you can source from the wild. This will work with any container, whether it be a bottle, hollow wood or whatever will hold water. The More you cycle through the filter the cleaner the water will be. I was using some VERY muddy water, try and source the best water you can find. Thanks for watching.
This video shows how to make and use the home made Berkey type water filtration system. This one is made for less than $35 in parts and you will see that it will turn the nastiest of Oklahoma water in to clean SAFE drinking water in a reasonable amount of time. This system is NOT super fast (yet…give me time) but it will clean 5 gallons of drinking water in about 24 hours (Website says 14 per day) . I believe that I may have figured out how to speed that up to 5 gallons in an hour or so, stop back and see it I make that work. This works GREAT and is SOOO much cheaper than the store bought systems that do the same thing.
Build your own off of Amazon!!! Add Air pressure and make it 4x as fast!!!
Basic Filter –
High Flow Multi Candle Filter Module –
This bucket is perfect for doing a pressurized version!
Gamma2 Vittles Vault Airtight Bucket –
Outer Mount Metal Valve Stem –
You only need 2 lbs of air pressure to make it WAY faster, this ball pump with gauge gets it done easily and is really portable! –
The life straw is a MUST for your bug out or get home bag!!
LifeStraw Personal Water Filter –
Disclaimer. This water filter will not make the water SAFE. It will only render it clear and make it more palatable. you must boil it afterwards or use another form of proper disinfection. SODIS or Solar Disinfection would work.
In this video I go through the processes of constructing a primitive filter utilizing natural recourses such as charcoal from a fire, moss, and sand. I use a soda bottle as the filter container to show you the individual layers and to see the water seep through the layers.
No one wants to drink water that will make them sick during a trip into the backcountry, so the best thing to do to avoid drinking contaminated water is to treat or filter it first. In this video, Miranda shows you what to look for in a water source and the right way to gather that water. If you want to learn more about treating water, read our article:
