00:08:18,498 --> 00:08:20,132
A really nice spot.

183
00:08:20,133 --> 00:08:22,468
It's much better without flies.

184
00:08:22,469 --> 00:08:26,605
And basically,
it's like a flat shelf.

185
00:08:26,606 --> 00:08:29,508
And I have a really,

186
00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:32,411
really nice view
down to the river.

187
00:08:32,412 --> 00:08:35,547
So basically,
I could set my fish lines

188
00:08:35,548 --> 00:08:39,384
and just observe them while
I'm doing other stuff up here.

189
00:08:39,385 --> 00:08:43,187
Another thing is it's a
really nice shooting range.

190
00:08:43,188 --> 00:08:45,491
Will be sufficient
for a couple of days.

191
00:08:45,492 --> 00:08:49,762
And later on, I will look
for more permanent shelter.

192
00:08:49,763 --> 00:08:53,198
And now, guys,
I'm super thirsty.

193
00:08:53,199 --> 00:08:58,203
It's time to start preparing
water that I will drink.

194
00:08:58,204 --> 00:08:59,872
We are here in lowland.

195
00:08:59,873 --> 00:09:02,674
<i>And water,
it has a lot of different</i>

196
00:09:02,675 --> 00:09:04,476
<i>parasites and bacteria.</i>

197
00:09:04,477 --> 00:09:07,079
<i>So treating water
is really important.</i>

198
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,949
<i>But I don't have a ferro rod
to make fire easily.</i>

199
00:09:10,950 --> 00:09:14,019
These rubber boots are
luckily waterproof,

200
00:09:14,020 --> 00:09:17,222
so I will just fill one
completely with water.

201
00:09:17,223 --> 00:09:20,159
<i>Luckily, I have
a very cool technique</i>

202
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,261
<i>to get drinkable water.</i>

203
00:09:22,262 --> 00:09:24,396
<i>And this can give me advantage</i>

204
00:09:24,397 --> 00:09:27,433
<i>because I can go without fire
for a very long time.</i>

205
00:09:27,434 --> 00:09:28,967
Okay.

206
00:09:28,968 --> 00:09:30,670
I will use my shemagh.

207
00:09:30,770 --> 00:09:34,139
Actually, I could use
also T-shirt or whatever.

208
00:09:34,140 --> 00:09:38,243
So the idea is,
if you put it like here

209
00:09:38,244 --> 00:09:42,114
and you leave it like this,
you realize that at some point,

210
00:09:42,115 --> 00:09:45,250
water will get up
to higher point.

211
00:09:45,251 --> 00:09:49,154
So I let it get over here

212
00:09:49,155 --> 00:09:51,256
and into the pot.

213
00:09:51,257 --> 00:09:53,525
<i>When water travels
through this shemagh</i>

<i>or any piece of cloth,</i>

215
00:09:55,161 --> 00:09:58,997
<i>this is actually
the principle of capillarity.</i>

216
00:09:58,998 --> 00:10:03,001
And you can see it's getting
wet and it's spreading.

217
00:10:03,002 --> 00:10:07,039
<i>And the point is that water
and very, very small particles</i>

218
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,143
<i>can travel easier
than bigger particles.</i>

219
00:10:10,243 --> 00:10:13,212
<i>So it's filtering.</i>

220
00:10:13,213 --> 00:10:18,017

to make it double.
