Using my stainless steel backpacker's cook set to distill water

[soggybottomboy]

Hey Guys,

I bought this cook set awhile back. I actually keep it in my car along with my emergency kit. With spending an additional $2-$3 at Home Depot, I can now use it to distill water. The set is lite weight and the pots have a copper bottom to distribute heat evenly.

I did a review video on my YouTube channel back in mid June. Here it is and I hope you enjoy.

Here is the product link to Amazon.com

Sweet. Nice set up and video. I did something similar with one of my stainless steel water bottles. Destroyed two bottles in the process before I got it right.

Great video! I'm gonna buy one of those sets asap!

Great last resort option if you are laying wounded by a creek with your pots in your pack. It would take a month to make a gallon without using a pan with a sealed, locking lid to build pressure because you will lose an enormous amount of steam around the edges of the lid. A charcoal filter works instantly for about the same space in a pack.

Looks like a great kit and a purty fine idea. Definitely worth having the kit. Ordering mine today. I have 2 of these:

For my primary Bug out needs and this kit:

with extra candle style ceramic filters for home. Also keep a reserve of water stored and a few cases of bottles both at home and in the cars. aside from that I have Polar Pure iodine crystals and Coleman water tablets. Personally, I don't think you can ever have enough methods of preparing safe drinking water.

How does the plastic tubing hold up with all that steam passing through it?

The tubing held up well.

The tubing will degrade over time. Distilling is a nice option to have.

Thanks for taking the time and effort to do the video and post the info.
