    I hope this is the right place, and I couldn't find the answer elsewhere. So here goes; I'm incorporating TVP into my long term preparedness. I know with beans and grains it's best to run through a 30 day freezer cycle before storing in mylar. Am I right in assuming that I should also do the...

    Good morning all, I'm wondering what you all think of using this Sun Kettle for post blackout power, or on hunting/camping/hiking trips. It looks super neat but I don't if this would be a good idea, assuming possibly just boiling water over a fire and putting it into a cup is better. What...

    I'm looking for the best water purification. I have come across two, which I think are the most natural, economical and thorough. Reverse osmosis Distillation Pro: Both occur in nature, both are very efficient (distillation appears to be the better) This is because it requires less...

    Does anyone know of a hand pump that can function at 500'? I need to install an emergency water system and would prefer a manual pump over a gravity fed tank, but I can't find a pump that will work at that depth. If not, any advice on a water storage tank and setup that would go on a hillside...

    Let's say you follow ans river or creek upstream to the source and the source is a spring pushing only a little bit of safe clean pure drinking water out.

    This guy uses clay pots to filter water. Is this a legit water filter? I know clay has been used but this seems weird. Also is there a substitute for the bung he uses? I’ve also heard old timers put a silver coin in them to keep bacteria from growing in the pots. Anyway, I thought this was...
