okay this will show you a "dirt" cheap method of
generating your own water for survival purposes.

clean water sources are scarce and we must learn
these methods of survival for katrina-like
emergency situations.

Step 1: Dig a Hole

dig a hole about the size of a steering wheel
and about 10 inches deep

Step 2: Pee in It

fill the hole with anything that has moisture.
for example:
-topsoil
-urine(pee)
-weeds, cactus, plants(even poisonous plants)

Step 3: Get a Bag

use an old grocery bag to form a bowl/cup shape
in the center of your hole. shape with dirt as necessary.

note:
here in los angeles an emergency would leave me unable
to drive anywhere but grocery bags would be falling from the
sky literally.
[pause-walks outside]
i walked outside just this second and found one right away on the sidewalk.

Step 4: Cover It

remember the bag in step 3?
open it and flatten it out to cover
your new pee hole.

THEN - use dirt to hold the perimeter edges of the bag / cover
THEN-- put some dirt or a small rock in the middle of the cover to weigh it down

like a shallow cone

Step 5: Drink

condensation will build up overnight or throughout the day.
the water droplets build up on your cone-shaped cover
until they get heavy enough to drip into the cup below

this will allow you to survive another day in the wild or the ghetto or the desert...

if you have ample amount of dirty or salt water i suggest the "LifeStraw"

and remember...
pets need clean water in emergencies too!
