How to purify water in wildness



Many of us like hiking and sometime we go out to enjoy the beauty of nature. There are a lot of stories that many hikers lost their way to back and got stuck there for days.
It becomes so hard to survive if you get lost somewhere and you don’t have enough water to drink.
Normally a man can survive 5 to 6 days without food but not more than 3 days without water. If your luck don’t favor you finding a source of good water, what will you do?

Here is some tips for you how to purify water in wildness:

  • Boiling: If you are carrying a tin pot and a lighter with you, then boiling is the best option to purify water. Just gather some wood or dry leaf. Bring the water in your pot and set fire on the wood and put the pot on fire. Let the water boil for 10 to 15 minutes.


  • Purifying tablets: Keep some water purifying tablets with you whenever you get out for travel or hiking. Use these as directed.


  • Create an evaporation trap to the ground: If you have enough time to wait for water try this method. Make a hole on the ground put a container or a pot in it. Then cover the hole with a plastic. Put a weight like a small stone in the middle of the plastic so that the water may gather in the center and drop into the container. This will work mostly at the night because at that time there is fog.


  • Bleach: you can c use Bleach to purify water in the wildness. Many of us bring a gallon of Bleach with us whereas looking, that could be a smart apply if you happen to get blood on a white shirt or combine of pants. This is often most likely the longest of the water purification strategies, however can add a pinch. Merely add one tablespoon of Bleach to each gallon of water in your store. Shake the mixture smartly, then permit it to sit down for 12-24 hours. Afterward, you'll be able to pour the highest of the water into another jug, going very cheap in. around to be drop out.


  • Make a water filter: For this method you will need two containers and a piece of soft cloth. Keep the two containers side by side. Put water in a container and keep it little higher than the other one. Then put one end of the cloth in water and the other end into the other container. After some time you will see pure water gathering in the empty container and the dust staying in the other.



The most important and easy method is to carry enough water while going out to hiking in wildness.
