Instructions are also in my Preparedness Manual
By the way I like your Quote! Lots of good stuff in that movie I especially liked this exchange:
Mack: “It’s a shame what this town has come to.”
Charley: “You could do something about it.”
Mack: “What? We’re freighters. Ralph here’s a shopkeeper.”
Charley: “You’re men ain’t you?”
Mack: “I didn’t raise my boys just to see them killed.”
Charley: “Well you may not know this, but there’s things that gnaw on a man worse than dying.”
A fast and easy water filter can be made as follows...
1. Cut the bottom off of a soda bottle.
2. Line the inside with cotton cloth like a T shirt.
3. Fill the bottle a quarter full of crushed charcoal.
4. Fill it with sand to the halfway point.
That’s it, Pour the water in and let it filter through. That will remove all the dirt and most of the bugs, though it would still be a good idea to purify it by boiling or using a chemical purifier if you can.
