INTRODUCTION

Im dying of thirst .

How many times have you used this expression?

Maybe when jogging, after an endless shift at work, or on a stifling hot summer day.

Yet, in several countries around the world, dying of thirst is by no means just a saying.

I can confirm this from first-hand experience on missions in some of the toughest terrains you can imagine.

Just think that on our planet, almost a billion people do not have access to drinking water.

And most people living in the Western world cant even begin to comprehend what its like to lose your life because of thirst.

Mind you, its not surprising. Being unable to relate to a remote scenario doesnt make you a selfish person.

And as long as unlimited drinking water flows from our taps, its really hard to imagine a situation where you wake up in the morning and theres absolutely no water available anywhere.

But what is it like to die from thirst?

Technically, death occurs when the percentage of water in the body drops below a certain threshold.

Fatigue, drowsiness, numbness, cognitive difficulty, dizziness, and palpitations all are red flags warning us that we are in danger.

Now, lets take a step back.

If you are a prepper (or a would-be prepper), you are more aware than 99% of people living in the Western world, and you know that in a major crisis, having enough water can make the difference between life and death.

But how long can you survive without water?

Unsurprisingly, in the Rule of Three that every Prepper is familiar with (3 minutes without air, 3 hours without shelter in a harsh environment, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food), hydration is in third place.

If we cant drink, our body starts showing the first signs of dehydration in less than 24 hours. And the process can be much faster if being under the sun is part of the equation.

Have you ever experienced a very intense workout at the gym, a run in the blazing sun, or an unusually challenging hike in the mountains?

In many such cases, you end up with a feeling like your very bones are aching, coupled with a severe headache.

This happens because your body has entered a water deficit due to a mild onset of dehydration.

And this can also entail the other symptoms I was telling you about, such as a dry mouth, dizziness, tachycardia, shortness of breath, and a general feeling of poor lucidity.

You see, urination and even breathing cause us to lose about 2 liters of water daily. And it is imperative that this loss be compensated.

There is no proven method to establish how quickly you can die of dehydration.

For sure, our bodies need water, and we can only live a few days without drinking and in no case longer than a week.

In fact, our body uses water to produce sweat, which reduces body temperature through evaporation.

Without water, our body temperature rises and the fluids in our body, including blood, end up under pressure.

As a result, a decrease in blood volume can cause a severe drop in blood pressure, which can cause a person to pass out or even die.

Dehydration occurs very rapidly. Initially, it causes extreme thirst; then it causes exhaustion; next, it generates systemic failure; and finally, it results in death. This all happens within 3-4 days, depending on the individuals degree of resilience.

Lets go back to the importance of water from the perspective of surviving a major crisis, one that might hit us at any moment...

... any decent prepper or would-be prepper is well aware that in the event of a natural disaster, the water network might be damaged and no longer be able to supply drinking water adequately.

Need a few examples?

A major earthquake could damage the aqueducts; a flood could pollute the aquifers; not to mention chemical contamination following a radioactive disaster or a military attack.

And without bringing major disasters into the picture, knowing how to source and purify water is vital even just for a bushcraft enthusiast who strays into the woods.

As you can see, whether its about Bugging In or Bugging Out, or even if you are just waiting for rescuers, drinking water is an indispensable commodity for your survival.

Of course, water supplies are designed to last for a limited time, and this is exactly why self-reliance in storing and generating drinking water in an emergency can prove crucial for your own and your familys safety.

That is why any preppers worth their salt are perfectly aware that being self-sufficient waterwise is the single most important factor in surviving, whether Bugging In or Bugging Out.

And that is why regardless of whether we live in an apartment building in the city or a remote house it is our duty as preppers to master the most effective techniques for locating, purifying, and storing potable water in complete self-sufficiency and without being dependent on outside help, even just in the event of serious damage to the water mains.

Right.
