I'd spend for a reverse osmosis filter. Terracotta is what back country camping water filters use. It only filters out larger microorganisms so boiling it is still recommended.
Probably tricky to manage in an emergency, though, if in a city without electricity and unable to make fires... this seems like a nice set-up to have even just to have handy, just in case. The WEF has been 'predicatively' threatening to take out the world's infrastructures for quite some time now, after all.
Very interesting and do-able. Thank you. What he did not share was how often one needed to spray the inside of the terracotta with colloidal silver. Clearly impurities would build up on the inside as it filtered so one would expect regular washing and spraying??
Plastic (food grade) buckets filled with pebble, sand and charcoal also work - the only problem is that pebble and sand will be utterly contaminated with dioxins east of Ohio now...
I sometimes nomad in my van during the winter season in the SW desert. At the end of the winter visitor season, when most winter campers have left the desert areas, good, inexpensive drinking water can sometimes be hard to get. Of course, it doesn't rain very often either though. :(
Literally the lyrics to the song I was just considering covering contain the actual lyric 'terracotta pie'. Terracotta pot, pie, three letter 'p' with terracotta. Just... thought I'd mention. Celia, if you know of John Taylor Gatto, he is the American school teacher version of Wendell Berry/Bill Mollison - worth looking in to regarding educational matters for better educating children - the future of this world we will need to know how to master all of these DIY Permaculture skills - cheers! ^^
Many thanks, Celia for this video about making a water filtering device. I have wanted to buy a Berkey, but a little expensive. I'm going to be scouting out best terracotta pots can find.
Hope you got a little rest recently; you seem to be back in great form.
DIY is not something I'd do with a water filter

Definitely!
I not a huge fan of CS. It can ultimately lead to imbalanced minerals, I would think.
Colloidal silver is only really effective when used topically, as a mouthwash or gargled. It does not work when swallowed and can cause argyria.
I love love love my Berkey water filter.....
.for me, I'd half fill with charcoal):)

Thank you for posting!
Thank you Celia Farber! This could come in handy.

hmm
" water from the sky" is too toxic for this. sorry.
a DIY solar distiller might be safer.
Distilling or reverse osmosis remove things no other filters remove.
Comes very handy esp for those areas affected by the Ohio disaster - thanks Celia!
Thank you. Have family members that live on the shared water table in NE Indiana.
