Oh

its mission in survival today we're going to work on our primitive water generator the finished snowball okay so we're going to do a Finnish snowball and the snow is very icy and powdery very grainy stop going to make a snowball for you you can still do it all you have to do is break chunks out of the snow and harvest it in chunks there we go ok so this being our primitive water generator is very simple don't really need any tools now using my knife or anything like that it's just a stick this is very crumbly snow so I need to be very careful tried to not break this in half we'll see my break in half I'm have to go get another piece it happens

not slowly through all right it's on we're good to go let's hang it over the fire well the vibrations are putting it in the ground ended up breaking in half so now we have small pieces that's all right is what it is so I've got it on there again I'm gonna just ever so carefully I'll take this often it push into the ground close to how I want it I should work

all right we're in business all right so that's what I have I'm going to just build up my fire so i can start transferring some heat to the snow it's going to drip down i'm going to put a container underneath it and go with a wooden bowl all right there we go start a drip

run in trouble good solid drip now you can see it's just running straight down alright this is a very effective primitive method to make a water generator it originates in Finland which is why it's called finished snowball dump the boil it it's absolutely delicious it's fast submission a survival appreciate view sconce a sport see the next one take care doesn't get better than that
