I got to be good for something! Yeah he seems like a sorta militia type and I got a neighbour who might be a prepper, gonna try and scope him out.
I also recently subscribed to a prepper lootcrate kinda thing. Got some interesting stuff like a Sawyer water filter and a Water 2 Go filtering water bottle. Anyone got any experiences with that?
Who Am I?
These days, there is nowhere left in N America where open water is safe to drink. A good filter will remove larger particles, but you really have to boil it and use tablets. For any but multi day long hikes out of contact with water taps, its easier and safer just to bring along your own.
For prepping purposes, thats a problem, because I cant think of anyplace in the continental US where the ground water would clear itself of toxins in less than a couple months. A rain recovery system (maybe a large solar still if its just one person) is about the only realistic option (other than hiking to Alaska).

The filters I got say they would get rid of most pathogens so I should probably use water purification tablets with them (which I have plenty of)
Yeah, I got two water-butts in my back garden so I think that would make a good solution for getting water I can purify and hopefully drink
I used to know some guys in the Michigan Militia. Not preppers exactly, but the same sort of fella's.
Nice necro, by the way.
