“Is there a vegan PEMMICAN?”
***
***
How do you create a vegan version of a recipe which is pretty much dried meat and animal fat, sometimes with dried berries sprinkled in [8], [11], [16], [17]? I did not have an easy time finding a recipe of this online so I decided to make my own recipe. The fat is quite easy, you just need something with lots of saturated fatty acids which is solid at room temperature (or even below room temperature, as the dish is meant for cold climates). Refined coconut oil or vegetable shortening are both readily available and tick this box. I went with coconut oil since I don’t want to eat hydrogenated oils.
…
The vegan pemmican is now ready to go on an adventure.

– MIT engineers make filters from tree branches to purify drinking water:
Prototypes tested in India show promise as a low-cost, natural filtration option.
The interiors of nonflowering trees such as pine and ginkgo contain sapwood lined with straw-like conduits known as xylem, which draw water up through a tree’s trunk and branches. Xylem conduits are interconnected via thin membranes that act as natural sieves, filtering out bubbles from water and sap.
MIT engineers have been investigating sapwood’s natural filtering ability, and have previously fabricated simple filters from peeled cross-sections of sapwood branches, demonstrating that the low-tech design effectively filters bacteria.
Now, the same team has advanced the technology and shown that it works in real-world situations. They have fabricated new xylem filters that can filter out pathogens such as E. coli and rotavirus in lab tests, and have shown that the filter can remove bacteria from contaminated spring, tap, and groundwater. They also developed simple techniques to extend the filters’ shelf-life, enabling the woody disks to purify water after being stored in a dry form for at least two years.
The researchers took their techniques to India, where they made xylem filters from native trees and tested the filters with local users. Based on their feedback, the team developed a prototype of a simple filtration system, fitted with replaceable xylem filters that purified water at a rate of one liter per hour.

This is the best and probably the only fire you can risk to make in an extreme SHTF situation (if any at all!).
It can’t be seen from a distance and it can be easily & IMMEDIATELY put out if needed.
This stealth fire can really be improved upon until you can only see it from a VERY, VERY short distance.

Recommended tool (not only for the Dakota Fire Hole) and now on sale…
Cold Steel: Spetsnaz® Shovel (With Sheath) $39.98 $25.99
(I am NOT affiliated with Cold Steel and earn NOTHING by recommending this to you.)
This ‘Spetsnaz Shovel’ can be used as a weapon and is important to built a hidden/stealth survival shelter/camp, among many other useful applications.

If done correctly (stored airtight and in a cool place) your water will be good for many, many years,…
…when adding MMS (Sodium chlorite) to it:
¼ teaspoon (around 25 drops) per gallon (3,785 liters)
1 teaspoon per 5 gallons (18,92 liters)
1 ½ teaspoons per 7 gallons (26,49 liters)
2 ½ teaspoons per 15 gallons (56,78 liters)
1 ounce (29 ml) per 55 gallons (208 liters)
******
As a side note: Store about 2 gallons per person per day (1.5 as a minimum)
******
The above described method works.
However, I would recommend to nevertheless filter (or boil) that water before consumption, just to make sure.
Have to do everything you possibly can to avoid getting sick in a SHTF situation.
All the best.

FYI…
You’ll need to have at least one knife & one fire steel on you at all times and some more in your BOB or INCH bag.
Silky saws are an important survival tool.
Silky Bigboy 2000, Silky Gomboy and Silky Pocketboy are great.
