How to get some water

Here’s a way to get some water in difficult areas and another to collect some water from natural springs.

  • Go water fishing
  • Get water through condensation

Go water fishing

Don’t let yourself die of thirst because you can’t get to that deep well, this deeply embanked river or that unreachable spring.

Se procurer de l'eau - A la pêche à la ligne

Attach your flask to a long rod with a string. You should add some weight at the neck of your flask so that it doesn’t float and fills up.

Get water through condensation

Dig a hole about 3’1/4 in diameter and 20" deep. Try to choose a loose soil. At the bottom, put a container with a small hose. Cover the lot with a large transparent plastic. Put a small stone in the center so as to get the form of a crater. Cover the sides with soil and a few stones to close tightly.

Se procurer de l'eau - Par condensation

The sun’s rays will create a greenhouse effect and the water that is contained in the soil will condensate on the inner surface of your plastic and progressively sink into your container.

Suck the water up the hose to get the water from the container, that way you won’t have to unmount your system each time you wan’t to get the water out. That way you can get a small amount of pure water since it has been distiled (it vaporated and was condensed).

- Be Careful: The water you get with this method is not for drinking. You can use it to wash the dishes vegetables or your hands or just for cooking. It can be used to do your washing up but not for mouth hygiene.
