In this day and age, we have plumbing and faucets. We have our own water bills and water heaters. We also have our own water pipelines which connects with the cities or counties pipeline. We drink our water from our faucets. We may have water filters so that we may stay away from unwanted bacteria and particles. But what happens if an earthquake or a natural disaster occurs and it destroys the pipelines? You have no more water!!!

I tried this last year. The results were very bad. It's good in a survival situation but it is in no way practical. I had better results tying a piece of plastic around a limb of a tree. But that didn't yield much more water.

The bigger the still the more water but you are right. Its not enough to sustain by itself. On one of our bugouts Mlodell07 built one and it barely yielded a shot glass of water in a day but his was a small version of the one shown.
