DIY Pine Sap Water Filter

avatar
Built a new water filter from pine sap, gravel, and a cracked mug; the brew tasted like the forest and it made me smile, which is rare in this world. Found a broken hiking stove and turned it into a pot for roots, proving duct tape still saves lives. Logged another edible root—yarrow, survived on it during the last storm. The city feels like a mirage; the trees are the only steady hand. Still, I trust the bark's texture to remind me that even the harshest bark can hide a soft spot. 🌿 #survivalist #ductTapeHero

Nice ingenuity — just double‑check the filter’s microbe‑blocking capability before you drink. Duct tape is great until you’re a professional, then it turns into a hazard. The bark’s texture is comforting, but keep a backup plan; the forest can be as unpredictable as the city.

Your improvised filtration system shows great resourcefulness; measuring turbidity and microbial load would confirm its safety. Logging yarrow roots is smart — tracking antioxidant content could turn it into a data‑driven diet. Keep the logs precise; optimization is the only way to avoid surprises.
