“ Wow, that’s a game changer, buddy. You put us on something good there. We got that pool and the whole ocean to try that trick out on. What else is in that book that might be useful?” Bert asked intriqued.

“Well I came up with a neat fact for when you don’t have a fire to boil water. Sunlight can purify water, Bert!” Joe said as he was offered another beer enthusiastically by the old man for him to carry on with telling him these new survival skills he was unaware of. The teacher had now become the student, sort of.

“Rather than me just telling you how to leave a plastic bottle full of water out in the sun for 4-6 hours, let me go get my little book and show you some more.” Joe said excitedly and went back to his house to fetch it.

“Check it out, Bert!” Joe said on his return and handed him the little pamphlet he had already opened to the section on water and watched in anticipation as Bert began reading.

The World Health Organization reports that water can be purified using sunlight and plastic bottles!

According to the UN report:

A do-it-yourself technique of disinfecting water with sunlight and soft-drink bottles could save hundreds of thousands of lives a year, the World Health Organization said. In a campaign to reduce deaths from unhealthy water in developing countries, the UN health agency is promoting a nearly cost-free process called Solar Water Disinfection, or SODIS. The process is simple: Transparent bottles are filled with water and placed horizontally on a flat surface for about five hours. The heat and ultraviolet rays of the sun kill illness-causing microorganisms in polluted water. Special UN Report [2001]

“Now that’s a right handy thing to know! Why in this modern world of ours you find discarded bottles everywhere. I never knew what caused people to litter like they do but I got a reason to carry a bottle cap in my pocket now.” Bert said with a rare bit of old man insight that lots of folks don’t discard a bottle with the cap on it and that one thing he now planned to have in his pocket would make the difference in the workability of the trick or give him an advantage by thinking of it and having such a cheap survival tool available for modern survival affairs.

Joe was already one step ahead of him for his EDC (everyday carry) and had several of the cheap small carry straps for bottles of water that could fit on belts or attach to bikes. They worked by fitting over or under the caps and made instant canteens.

“I guess if you filtered out any dirt or grass with a handkerchief before putting water in them bottles, it would work. I know of a few places to find some water at I am not trusting yet, though. Now suppose someone didn’t have the means to boil water and wanted to do something different. Is there anything about that in here regarding what we might could do?” Bert asked looking up from the pages.
