Water Collection

[Rick]

If you don't have handy access to a source of water but there is dew on the grass then you can collect the dew by tying a towel, bandana or rag around your ankle and walk across the grass. The cloth will absorb the water and all you have to do is wring it out into a cup.

Ive done this on a morning in the summer, Do it when in tall grass is best i got about 1/2 a cup full but it was a good start to the day

[trax]

Good grief, I hope it didn't taste like your feet!

[Rick]

You just can't have a serious thread running without someone posting junk to it. You didn't collect it with your socks did you? Trax is right though, that would be nasty.

[crashdive123]

I wouldn't collect it that way while walking through a cow pasture.

[trax]

If you just left a towel laying in the grass overnight, wouldn't you get similar results? Without the yummy toejam flavoring though...that might be a downside to some...

[Rick]

(head slap) Doh!

[trax]

No problaymo Richie, that's why I'm here, help ya puzzle out the tough ones...

Just tried it, it works, but it is "YELLOW"........so it is either Mountain Dew, or poodle dew.

Well I read before in a desert survival guide that if your car breaks down, you can get a large amount of water from it by the morning dew by wiping it with a rag (depending on the size of your car)

You could always fasten sponges to yourself and roll around. I'd do it.

What? The poodle dew or the mountain dew?

[Kemperor]

BOTH!

Actually, just for general dew collection.

[Assassin Pilot]

well rolling will squeeze out all of the water

[marlin22]

Can that help in mucky water to get the crap out of it so it is drinkable??

[Arborius]

If you have a plastic bag you can put it over a branch or put leaves in it and as the sun evaporates the water from the plant it will condense in the bag.

Along with a generous helping of dirt, smashed bugs, and bird doo.

Ah, protein and fiber. It's all good.
