Newly Discovered PRIMITIVE WATER FILTER! 100% Effective

When I show this to my friends and they ask where I learned it. I'm going to say "I heard it through the grapevine"

This is one of the most important survival videos in the last ten years. Bravo, absolute genius.

There's a surviving technique here in Brazil: we actually drink from a vine called "cipó d'água" (Doliocarpus rolandri). They literally dip water when cut. Safe water and plenty of it. Just as a curiosity, here in Brazil a lot of people, including myself, use clay filters. They were invented here by portuguese and italian immigrants in the beggining of the 20th century. It's considered one of the best filters in the world. And when you use them with the clay container as well (as tradition) the water comes out in a very pleasant temperature and with this quite distinct mineral taste. It's just awesome how simple materials and creativity people can solve such complicated problems. Excelent video, man! I enjoyed it very much.

Every time I say "I need to put my phone down" something like THIS pops up and keeps me hooked. Im afraid I'll miss something as valuable as this.

Every time I think there's still a piece of modern technology that I should bring, there's something in nature that can replace it in a pinch.

THIS IS SURVIVAL INFO...not what 95% of people post, which is just how to buy something and use it. EXCELLENT JOB SIR!!!

As a plant scientist, I have been taight the direction of travel matters very much. Similar to how our legs get blood back to our heart, there are mechanisms in place to prevent it flowing back the other direction.

Crush up and rinse clean some charcoal from your camp fire. Put it between two layers of cotton or wool, (you can use a clean sock). Secure it over the top of the jar for clean water. Now when the water that gets filtered from the cypress or grape vine drips through the charcoal filter, it will be free of viruses as well as being free of bacteria.

My grandfather taught me this, the trick it keeping the edge of the vine cut fresh, if it dries up it stops, just retrim the end and it starts going again. He lived in SW Florida, born in 1910, fisherman by trade.

I’ve worked in the water industry for over 20 years and I’m quite familiar with water testing. This was a very well put together very accurately explained video. It’s hard to find good solid information on sometimes. Well done.

I'm impressed that over a million viewers in just six days are interested in this experiment! 🔥💯😎👍

Went through 2 DOD SERE courses and neither taught this technique. It was decades ago but still.... Pretty cool.

My son and I watched this, and he wants to make a variation of this for his science fair project for next year. Very cool demonstration.

Great way to “generate” water while you’re away from camp doing other things. Knowing you’ve got clean water waiting for you when you get back is a big mood booster.

Man! This video should be shown in every school on earth. Thank you sir for sharing this knowledge with us.

Surely some of you must've seen old TV documentaries where they've shown people in remote places drinking water from plant vines and similar? For example in the UK check out early David Attenborough TV programmes that were broadcast by the BBC _ he showed indigenous people the TV crew were following getting water refreshment by cutting plants and drinking from the cut end. Obviously this isn't tap or faucet flow but when trekking it provided essential hydration. They also collected water in little vessels in a similar method. This really is just a reminder of known old methods.

HANDS DOWN - This is the most important video I have ever seen . . . There isn't even a close second. We salute you Sir!

I appreciate you stopping and chatting with my sons and I at the hardware store today. It really made their day👍

I learned at school in the early 80s about how to filter water with rocks and pebbles, also learned to make a water distiller with a pot and piping you can use on a fire. I do have an alcohol distiller and an air-still bit will need power for those. Your info gave me another easier way, thanks. I am a prepper at heart.

The resin this works is because plants already filter water to use so the fresh vine is pulling water up and trying to push it to the rest of the plant but because this segment has Ben cut off the clean water gets pumped into the other jar
