On Best Defense Survival: Water

During World War II, the town of Picher, Oklahoma produced a large number of the bullets American troops used in their M1 Garands, M1 Carbines and Thompson sub-machineguns.  But what the town didn’t realize was the lead mining that was driving their industry was also poisoning the water supply.

Michael Bane visits Picher, Oklahoma to introduce us to the idea that having to purify your water isn’t necessarily a far fetched idea.

Michael Janich takes us through alternate water sources, such as your home’s water heater.  He will also give step-by-step instructions on how to go about purifying water.

And if you’ve ever thought about owning a rifle in a pistol caliber, Rob Pincus will show you why having a rifle and pistol with the same caliber is a good idea – as well as what you need to do to train how to use them.
