Can you make a bushcraft version of that military water filter? I saw a video a long time ago about that, but can't recall the method and the material? You have any idea? Thanks!

Hi Thanks for your interest.
The first section of the pipe work is 15mm copper pipe after that I used 15mm plastic pipe. you need to experiment with the length of pipe to get a good rate of condensation.
I think the military version of a water filter you are referring to is a Milbank bag. This basically two layers of fine cotton with activated charcoal suspended in-between. I'm not sure if you can get them anymore as the technology has moved on.

The method demonstrated works very well for purifying salt water. When doing this you are left with salt residue when all the water is boiled off. In theory you should also have the residue from 'muddy water' left after all the water has boiled off. As this has been super heated it will be safer to use than before, but not sterile as you would need to use an autoclave for this.
