do you use that water for drinking? or do you buy drinking water? are you connected via pipes or is that your only source of water?

This video was shot at the camp, not at my house. The water is drinkable, but we bring bottled water with us when we go to the camp.

so u just store that water in case of an emergency? how good do u think a homemade water tower would work to catch the rain water?

I made a video about water at the fall back position and it shows a 750 gallon water tank it in. If you have not been to the website yet, drop by there. You will get information at the website then you will get here.

I must say, I think your videos are very well articulated and laden with relevant content. You definitely need to have your own show! You demonstrate a good understanding of fundamental survival skills, a knack for gardening, and a joy for teaching others. Thank you so kindly for your interesting series of posts.

P.s. I would hate to be a tomato worm on your pepper plant. You don't mess around and I like your style...

do what now?

Good video. Can you review the Katadyn Survivor? Makes fresh water from ocean or brackish or chemically tainted water. How does it work? Is there a DIY alternative?

Fresh water source isn't an option sometimes near the ocean (or source that can't be simply filtered). A distiller needs takes too long. The Katadyn Survivor pump can produce 35 gallons of fresh water a day. Also removes dissolved chemicals, nerve agents, viruses, bacteria etc.

so do you water with this or drink it?

i think he uses it for irrigation not potable water

One thing you might want to try is to put the pump in a 5 gallon bucket dig a hole deep enough to allow water to flow over the top yet keeping sand out you could get the pump deeper into the water and reduce the pumping sound as well.
