  If you have a listenced portable distillery to take with you camping then power to you.

    A pot, a sheet of plastic, a cup, a rock, some sticks and rope and you can distill water.

      And a massive amount of fuel.

      Have you ever tried to evaporate a liter of water? It takes a lot of energy to do so. Fun for a science project, but if you need enough to stay alive/be comfortable, it’s a lot easier to bring water.

        If you’re in the woods, you have access to a virtually unlimited amount of fuel. If you’re in a desert, the fuel source is nuclear. This is a technique taught in survival courses/manuals and military field guides all over the world.

  Not a good idea to drink distilled water.

    distilled water is fine the issue is if you drink mostly or only distilled water, it doesn’t have the minerals you’ll find in tap water and long-term missing those isn’t healthy. even so you can get those minerals from other sources like food or supplements most of the time.

      Unless you’re starving to death, you absolutely get those from food. The amount of minerals in even hard water is miniscule compared to what’s in food. Drinking distilled or RO water, even regularly is not going to hurt you.

      Drinking giardia on the other hand…
