Every survivalist knows that drinking enough water will keep them from getting dehydrated and really sick. However, when you are living off the land, the water you come across will probably not be clean and safe to drink.

This video from Caveman Cody will show you how to make a working water filter using basic materials you may have around you. This is one tool that you'll be glad you have!

This process is incredible. This guy starts by using a soda bottle and pokes two holes in the cap. Then he uses a knife to cut off the bottom of the bottle. He uses some moss, plenty of charcoal, and some sand and adds these ingredients into the bottle layering with moss, charcoal and then sand. He layers these ingredients until they reach the top.

After that, he takes dirty water and it is amazing how it goes through each layer and filters out some of the nasty water. After a while, this filter makes the water clean enough. Though don't forget to boil it before you drink it to get rid of the bacteria! You'll definitely want to make this filter when you need safe water to drink!
