This trick can save you in an extreme situation if there is no source of clean drinking water within easy reach.
To the author of these lines, knowledge of this method would be very useful in last year's hike in the mountains of Turkey. We climbed into a completely deserted jungle and got lost a little. Stocks in bottles gradually dried up, to top it off, the sun was roasting in earnest. Imagine our disappointment when we got to the only one for many kilometers around the source and saw that it was just a puddle of muddy water!
All our attempts to filter or boil this cloudy liquid have led to nothing good. But it was quite easy to get fresh water of almost perfect quality. See how easy it is to do it.
The water in the bottom bottle is heated by the sun and gradually evaporates. The vapors are piped to the upper bottle, where condensation forms. At the exit we have fresh water, free of any foreign impurities and quite suitable for drinking. Of course, this method takes time, but in extreme conditions it is not the biggest sacrifice.
As for us, everything ended well. After a while, we met a shepherd in the mountains, from whom they took him and gave us his supplies of water.:)
