How To Find Water In the Wildernes EVERY Time

 

Finding water can be a challenge, but in virtually every case it is possible. Here are some tips for finding and accessing water if none is readily available.

Use your senses to find water. Obviously listening for nearby streams or rivers will be at the forefront of your mind if you need water. Further, looking around and following animal tracks can also be an option to finding water sources. Lush green vegetation is also a sign that water is nearby. Typically, animals stay close to water sources. If you can find a track and follow it, chances are it can lead to water. Further, swarming insects can also signal water sources are nearby. Bird flight paths in the morning or evening can point you in the right direction.

Moisture is in the air. Heavy dew can provide one with an ample source of water. Dew will settle on foliage such as grasses and tree limbs at night. If you have a plastic bag (sandwich bag, trash bag, grocery bag, mylar blanket) in your pack, you can cover the limbs of trees and add a rock to provide weight. Secure the bag to collect moisture from the air. Over the course of the day the plant will transpire and produce moisture that will collect at the low point. Poke a hole in the bottom of the bag and collect the water. Collecting water from the grasses should be done before the sun rises. Tie absorbent cloth around your shins and take a walk through high grass.

Solar stills are simple way of distilling water. This process distills water using the heat of the Sun to drive evaporation from humid soil, and ambient air to cool a condenser film.”

Finding water is key to surviving a survival situation. Without water, dehydration, sickness and eventually death are all but inevitable. With a bit of creative thinking, however, locating and accessing water is not only possible, it is easy to do.
