Here’s a video on how to make an emergency water filter backup from common household items. This DIY water filter is conveniently small so having a couple for backup is still quite easy to bring along.
Always follow traditional safety standards when handling or drinking water that might contain harmful bacteria or other pathogens.
And if you are cooking, don’t you boil?
Oh. Cotton rots after not being dried. Again, worthless.
So replace with clean cotton- DUH

“It is a small lightweight BACKUP in case your primary source fails. The cotton balls filter out the small to larger sediment and the tablets purify it. By the way, love the comments on it was a good thing there wasn’t a test at the end of the video. I am going to add this to my emergency pack but with a couple of changes. A larger quantity of purification tablets and a sandwich baggy or two stuffed with cotton balls. By the way, I too am curious about the second bottle cap unless it was the one that should go into the bottom of the bottle when not in use to help keep things clean and dry?”

But won’t filter toxic contamination from fracking,mercury dumping dioxins.

I agree. Some people are so stupid they shouldn’t be allowed alone in the woods. HEY all you morons…he said plainly more than once that the water needs to be sterilized with chlorine tabs before drinking.
If you have no chlorine tabs all you have to do is boil the water for about ten minutes to sterilize it…!!!
