Can you drink river water not far from civilisation after filtering it and using copper to kill the bacteria inside?

look on internet to see if the body of water or ground water table are contaminated with heavy metals. if not, bring it to a rolling boil and add a drop of iodine if you want to be extra careful

Heavy metals are really only dangerous during prolonged exposure though (unless the levels are insane). If its just a weekend every now and then anon will be fine.

Most people will get an upset stomach from natural bodies of water simply because their gut isn't used to it. Not necessarily because it's dangerous in general. We only ingest sterilized shit from a young age, so out gut bacteria is imbalanced for nature compared to other mammals. We should be able to drink from a puddle like a dog or cat, but instead we ingest chlorine and other shit all of our life, cucking our immune system and guts.

It just depends... in a survival situation, I'm damn sure drinking it. The most important thing to remember is to get water from a deep part. The unsafe bacteria and parasites are mostly found in the shallows where the sun heats the water up to higher temps. Most people who get brain eating amoebas and other shit get it from swimming in the shallows of lakes and such. Boating out to the middle and swimming in the deeper areas is relatively safe from shit like that. You are also far away from animal waste that would be near the shoreline.

Literally the opposite, as harmful pathogens are killed by UV light. But go ahead and keep spreading bullshit you heard on a YouTube survivalist video.

Can't you just distill it (as best as possible)? Take 3 pans: 1 is your boiler, 1 is your condenser, 1 is your collector

stop pretending to be someone else. take your L. scientist say to not swim in shallow areas of lakes in the summer due to it being unsafe. they literally warn you about that around here in the summer.

It's probably safer to drink water further away from civilization than closer.

The more you filter it the better. Try digging a gypsie well, add stones to the side and then a lid for the hole. Boil and then store with copper.

Also make sure to check up stream for gasoline spills and college swimmers.

I drink from rivers & streams in the white mountains all the time as long as it’s clear and moving fast. Ice cold all year round, never had a problem.
