Pine tree water filter SHTF water filtration method

[link to www.boston.com]

This really needs attention and a pin. Just a small bit of wood can filter water with 99% of nasty stuff removed. Skeptics say this isn't a good enough filter. Still, in an emergency this is the way to go. In an emergency, you need a way to filter water. It is good to know it can be done with very little supplies really. Just a knife or way to cut the branch and a bit of tubing. Do you even need the clamp? There is a clamp in the picture, but I don't think you'd really need it. The resulting water may taste a bit piney but you can at least drink it. There are pictures and more information in the article.

I had once read an article about filtering water through an unglazed teracotta pot, but this sounds a lot easier.


I'd especially like someone on this forum to film themselves making this system and update on how much water can be filtered this way. How fast? How does it taste?

It is good to know this, it might save a life. Pine trees are very easy to locate. Perhaps other trees would be useful. Pine trees are very plentiful here.
