Would You Drink Rain Water?

To be prepared.







For the day it rains beer.

 

Acid Rain! Keep on falling
While her name I am calling
I walk the shores of Lake Champlain in the placid, acid rain.
We walked together through the forest of dying trees
tasted bliss and sulphuric acid on the April breeze
went canoing on the lake, fish were floating by
she read me her manifesto, I had no reply . .

 

safe or not, pretty sure it's illegal in washington

It was a necessity. I was at the Army's survival school, SERE, and had nothing else. I was proud to have it.

 

OK, I thought it was a common thing you did. Sorry if I did not read that correctly.

 

I didn't drink much, believe me. But I had to drink some.

 

My pecker hurt for a spell one summer from pissing too much while I was lake swimming.

It was a big lake, and the fish do it anyway.

TBF, what is the rule for drinking out of a stream? Is it a current thing?

 

This site just gets weirder by the day.

 

My rule is to put purification tablets in them. Failing that, a clear, cool, swift current with visible life is a pretty safe bet.

 

Always drink upstream from where Chef is amputating a toe.

Trust me.

 

It's too early. I never eat drink December snowflakes raindrops. I always wait until January.

Seriously, it's a guy thing. I was sitting there thinking about "being prepared for a disaster" as it rained. Then remembered 28 Days Later (or whatever that movie is) where they caught buckets of rain on the roof.

Then, of course, it turns to a testosterone fueled conversation with a friend: Would you? Won't you?

I did catch a bunch, but then had to head out of town before I could do anything with it.

I will next time, for sure.
