My Water Procurement Kit by Mike VonSteuben

As I mentioned in my article on how to pack a ruck, water is one of the 4 basic needs for survival in the field. However, water is heavy, and if you are going to be in the field for several days it is not desirable to carry all of the water that you will drink. Don’t get me wrong, it’s certainly possible, but if you’re carrying 50 pounds of water in addition to 40 or so pounds of your other gear, you will get fatigued very quickly. For this reason it is important to have the tools and skills necessary to disinfect water in the field. There are many ways to do this, and this video is an excellent primer on a few of these methods. Today, I will show you what I have in my water procurement kit and how I use it in the field.

    Those Sawyer water bags in 32oz and 64oz are on sale at Midwayusa at the moment… I just ordered a three pack of the 32oz for $7 something. I know there’s better quality ones out there as well, just found this link for info on other bags.(https://thewildguides.com/sawyer-squeeze-bag-alternatives/)
