RL,

What we should do is obtain tips concerning water procurement on all the major land masses.

Things like, you should wait 30 minutes before collecting water from a downpour while in the jungle to let the bird shit first wash off the leaves. This is tip worthy information.

Trying to build a solar still, while a wonderful idea is pure bullshit, the reason is simple, how many carry a large portion of plastic and a long piece of surgical tubing in your survival kit? (If you do not know what the tubing is for you should not construct a solar still.) Footmobile answered the desert water procurement question. Except that dried animal tracks thing…. I’ve yet to see much of dried mud tracks in real nasty deserts. (otherwise good post Foot)

We could also consider how to treat your water after you’ve procured it.
