Episode 060: Finding Water in the Desert

Water is one of our most basic survival needs. Without water, you only have about three days until you’re in major trouble. In a survival situation, as soon as you have your air and shelter figured out, you need to start working on finding water. In this episode, we build a solar still, which literally pulls water out of the air, even in the driest desert environments. I’ll walk you through everything you need to know to build your own solar still. Additionally, we have a very realistic discussion about a variety of survival skills, how difficult they actually are, and how effective or ineffective they may be in various circumstances. Listen to the episode, then get out there, learn, and practice some real survival skills.
