This sounds tasty. How do you filter the water, or do you filter at all? I've heard a lot of references to Berkey, but they do seem to take up a bit od space and the price seems high, accounting for filter replacements.
How do you filter the water, or do you filter at all?
My drinking water is potable from municipal sources (35gal freshwater tank) and only goes through a Brita for flavor.
Harvested watger I use for cooking/washing/coffee gets crudely filtered through cloth to remove big stuff like bugs, leaves, etc. It's not filtered in the microbial sense as it will either be boiled (cooking) or not ingested (washing). And the spigot is elevated off the bottom of the container so finer sediment tends to settle out.
I discuss it a bit in this blog post. I've harvested rainwater off tarps to augment cooking water; example in this post.
None of it is pretty but it works. :-)

We're not homeless, we're houseless! By choice or by circumstance we are living in our vehicles. Don't worry about us -- it can be a very good life.
Anything that affects us as vehicle-dwellers is probably on topic.
