There’s water everywhere there. Boil it.

“Sheesh. There’s water everywhere there. Boil it.”

No electricity, no fuel. But I get your point: they could strain pond water through cloth and add 1/4 tsp bleach per gallon. It won’t be delicious and it sure ain’t perrier, but it’s better than dying of thirst.

Can't boil this stuff; it's not just bacteria but crap like gasoline is mixed in it.

The Kenyan must go.

I'll ask you what I asked another FReeper.

Are you presuming that this is CLEAN water???

You do realize, don't you, that there's more to making water potable than simply boiling it?

Did you account for the salt, sand, mud, debris, oil, diesel, gasoline, dead bodies, and sewage?

And with what are they to boil it? Gasoline they can't get? Or natural gas that's been turned off? Or electricity that is off due to downed power lines?

Stores of bottles water in one's home is CRITICAL to survival for just these reasons.
