Winter Water without Stove or Fire

Description

Do what we recommend in this video and never worry about running out of water in the snow of winter. There are conditions that make it difficult or impossible to have fire and can make a stove difficult. Lack of water or dehydration is a major factor in the onset of Hypothermia.

Video Transcription

let's perry peacock with your wilderness quick tip if you're out till way back in the in the woods snowshoeing you know you want to make sure that you got plenty of water with you at all times I've got a stove in my pack and I carry water with me but you know the case of a storm or something happens and you can't start a fire you can't buy your stove it's always good to have a supply water with you and here's here's what I do you know the Eskimos many of them used to carry water inside their jackets inside a bag made of skins and that way they always had water with them that was not frozen and they could use that for drinking or fixing the runners on their slaves or all those sorts of things and we could do the same thing as we as our muscles work and everything our body gives off heat that heat is trapped inside you're inside your clothing and if you have water inside of there then you're going to keep it on thought now here's one other thing we can do and that is we can melt water with our body heat as well and let me show you that now what I've done here is this is just a water bladder for the camelbak type deal and what I've done here is I've taken the what I've done here has taken the the tube and I've shorten it up quite a bit I've drilled a hole in the retainer here and put a wire tight through there that way it holds it right here so I want to get a drink of water right from inside my parka like you have a drink of water anytime I want now here's how you replenish the water so that you never ever run out and every time or two that you take a drink you should do this and here's what we do now i can either i could either take this thing off and do this or i can even do it with it on me alright so what you want to do is get your bottle here you're just kind of push it back like that and open it up this snow here is pretty very powdery you kind of squeeze it just a little bit so it makes little lumps that kind of go down there it's it's really powdery it's easier to do that and get that snow in there just like that's all you got to do and you know every every two or three time to take a drink just do that and you'll always have a nice supply of water to drink because your body heat will melt it that way you'll overcome the major cause of hypothermia ness dehydration so they say I've got a bunch of snow in there I just want to kind of shake that all up and make sure it's saturated water

I'll hang that back round my neck inside my coat and I'm good to go and we'll let the body melt some more snow right here alright so here I am inside my jacket I'm trapping all the warm air that's inside of their air kind of stays inside their warm air rises all that stuff is kind of trapped in around here that air is melting the slush and the slushy snow that's inside my water bottle now I've rigged up my water bottle like this so I've got my little tube here I'm a redo it I'm thinking about make up just a tiny bit longer but any time I need a drink I can just zip my jacket just a tiny bit I like that help me some fresh water you know it's not it's not ice cold or hang like that it's you know your body's pre-warmed a little bit now my body heat is going to melt that is going to melt that snow it's kind of a bicycle when you put in like this and makes it into kind of a slush so now I've got a slush in here and my body heat as I snowshoe on up the trail here it's going to melt that right down and I'll have a steady supply of water I've done this before where I can go several days or a week or even longer and always have a supply water without ever lighting a stove and without ever having a fire that's the ultimate way to ensure that you always have a good supply of water with you so anyway this is perry peacock with your hydration tip when you're out snowshoeing or your activities outside winter time have a great time and be safe stay hydrated perry peacock wilderness innovation you
