Addition 2 to the survival series! If you are lost in the wild, I am going to go on the presumtion that you have some survival knowledge, as you are reading this Instrucible, but anyways, if you were lost, and you had already built a shelter(see Survival Series: Shelter) and built a fire(see Survival Series: Fire and have found a water source, your not going to just start drinking it, your going to want to boil the water first, to eliminate bacteria and microbes that occur naturally in nature. No cup? Well, it must seem you are out of luck, my friend! But do not be discouraged, there are ways to hold your water! How you ask? Well, Let's find out!

What is it?

The answer, my friend, has many answer but the best one, if you are in that situation, you will need some thing to boil your water!

Bamboo(grass) is naturally sigmented with a usual thick outer shell, perfect for holding water.
