>>2153599I never understood who comes up with all these trendy ways to gather a small cup of water, and fails to mention a coyote well. simply find a damp low spot such as a low point in a dryed up river bed or an area with an abnormal amount of wetland plants (nettles are often a giveaway where I live) and dig a hole a foot or three down and let the water pool up and settle. typicaly the soil is lose enough to use a stick and your hands if you must. boil or filter the water if youre nervous or drink it straight if you like (I typicaly do unless im downstream of a farm, beaver dam, or industrial area and I've never gotten sick).
