Berkey Sport vs Stainless Steel Bottle

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.




Dear Fernando,
I am from Singapore. Not
sure you know about my
small little country which
is far away from yours.
I’m new to this survivalist
stuff as my country is very safe and does
not have natural disasters. It’s
politically and economically stable, but I
guess nothing last forever
and I cannot take it for granted.
I have seen your videos on
youtube and read about your blog. I´m really
impressed and I´m interested
in learning more from you.
I have seen your top 10 EDC
items in your EDC bag videos.
I have a question. Which
water bottle you think is a better choice, the Berkey Sport water bottle or the
stainless steel water bottle you recommended?
Hope to hear from you soon.
thank you, regards

Hi!
I’ve done some research on
Singapore when looking into the best countries to relocate to for my new book.
(a couple more weeks people!) It scores high on several surveys and it has been
mentioned in various publications.
Its an interesting question
and this is the logic I’ve used so far.
Water is a key item often overlooked.
People will carry knives, flashlights, guns, but often enough few think water
is important enough to bother with.
Its heavy, bulky, and its
found everywhere with easy. A bottle of mineral water is just a few coins away
in the nearest drugstore so why bother, right?
First, from a practical
everyday point of view, you save money by having your own bottle. When you add
up the bottle you buy pays for itself in a matter of weeks. It also helps the environment
to stop creating unnecessary waste. In terms of emergencies, water is what you
use to clean up your face after an accident/emergency,  clean up wounds, or drink if you happen to
find yourself walking back home.  It will
hardly last more than 24hs if you’re walking a lot, make that 12 during summer,
but its FAR better than having no water at all.
For EDC, as you pointed out
in my video about the top 10 EDC items, I go for a solid Klean Kanteen stainless steel bottle. The thing is bomb proof which is always a plus, and if it ever comes down
to it, you could boil water and cook in it.
Looking at it from a more
practical side, if you live in an urban environment or move around one on
somewhat regular basis there’s not much water to purify anyway. Its more of a “what
you have on you is what you’ve got” situation.
On the other hand, for
wilderness survival, evacuation scenarios or if you frequently travel along or
work in the great outdoors, then a bottle like the Berkey Sport Bottle sure becomes a
huge asset because it allows you to purify water from streams, rivers and
ponds.
What I do is keep a steel
bottle as part of by EDC bag, and include a Berkey Bottle for when going
outdoors. I need the extra water anyway for a day hike and this setup gives me
plenty of versatility. This way, I have a container that could be put on the
fire and another one in which I can purify water on the go.
