How to get clean water a. Collect rainwater: This is the easiest option to get water that is not likely to be contaminated. Make sure to collect it in a clean vessel that is sterilized regularly. While boiling rainwater is not as necessary as when water is collected from other sources, it is still recommended to make sure your water is free of dangerous bacteria and parasites that could have made it into the rain water collection basin. b. Freshwater from the ground includes puddles, lakes, ponds, streams, ditches, and nearly all naturally occurring sources of water that are found inland and away from the ocean. This water can be collected, but MUST be disinfected before drinking. It is also best practice to filter this water before boiling it to disinfect (a guide to making a filter is further ahead in this document). Instead of simply boiling the water, it could be distilled to not only remove the infectious agents from it, but most of the unknown solutes in that have been dissolved in the water would be removed by the distillation process. Distilled water should not be consumed on a continual basis without replacing some of the naturally occurring electrolytes that are found in all natural water sources. These electrolytes can be replaced using a pinch of salt. This can be regular table salt, sea salt, or better yet Epsom salt. These salts should only be added in very small quantities. If Epsom salt is consumed in quantities of more than one teaspoon per 8oz of water, you risk developing diarrhea and further dehydrating yourself.  c. Saltwater can be collected from the ocean and distilled to remove salt from the water. Once the salt is removed from the water, the water can be consumed and there will be sea salt left over to use in any of the myriad of uses there are for salt in survival situations.  d. Additional notes on obtaining drinkable water: If your water source is coming from a body of water that may be exposed to pollution from transportation on the waterway, runoff of chemicals (including agricultural fertilizers), or any other source of pollution that may put things in the water that is not recommended to consume; an activated charcoal filter is highly recommended for use before drinking. Ideally, this filter should be used and the water should be distilled for maximum purification.  2. How to distill water a. When and why to distill water: Water should be distilled when there is a contaminant in it that makes the water less safe to drink. Salt water is an example of this, the high concentration of salt in the water prevents water from hydrating a body that is attempting to drink it. Water from unknown sources that could have a wide variety of unidentifiable contaminants should be distilled.  b. Before drinking distilled water make every attempt to replace some of the electrolytes that have been removed from the water in the distillation process. Drinking distilled water on a continual basis without electrolytes being replenished causes electrolyte depletion, which prevents the body from functioning properly.  c. Tea pot distillation method: Water to be distilled can be added to a tea pot. A copper tube can be attached to the spout of the tea pot and connected to a separate container that can collect the distilled water. Boil the water in the tea pot. As the water becomes steam, it will move into the copper tube where it will cool and condense back into distilled water. It will the drip out of the tube and into the collection container.  d. Cooking pot distillation method: Water is placed into a cooking pot that has a lid. If the lid of the pot has a plastic handle, it is better to remove this handle before performing this distillation. Water to be distilled is placed into the bottom of the cooking pot. A rack is placed on the bottom of that pot, and a glass bowl is placed on that rack. The rack is to prevent the bowl from touching the bottom of the pot, and ideally keep it above the water level within the pot. The lid of the pot is placed upside down on top of the pot. Ice, if available, should be placed on the upside down lid. If ice is not available, cool water will work. The water should be heated enough to become steam. As the ice melts or the water on top becomes warm, it will need to be replaced until all of the water from the bottom of the pot has become steam and dripped into the glass bowl. The water in the bowl is distilled water.  3. Making a water filter a. Most water that can be collected from naturally occurring water sources will not be clean. There may be mud, dirt, plant matter, or other solid particles that is generally not desired in drinking water.  b. Sand/gravel filter: Sand is an excellent filter material to remove solids from water. To make a sand filter, all that is needed is some type of tube, the sand and/or gravel to fill the tube, and something to secure to the bottom of the tube to keep the contents in place. The tube ideally should not be made of metal, as this could contaminate the water with heavy metals, although copper tubing is acceptable. Water bottles are commonly used for filter tubes if the closed end is cut away. The sand and gravel can be added to the tube with the finest material at the bottom, and the coarsest material at the top. To hold this all in, some material from a shirt, bed sheets, pillow cases, cheese cloth, or unused cloth diapers can hold in the sand/gravel while allowing water to filter through it after moving through the sand filter. Water is poured in through the top, over the coarsest material first, and gravity will allow it to flow through the rest of the filter into a collecting basin.  c. Activated charcoal filter: Incorporating activated charcoal into a sand/gravel filter is highly beneficial to further removing contaminants within water collected from natural sources. Activated charcoal will be useful in binding many solutes in the water that can be harmful to the health of a potential drinker. This includes metal ions that may be dissolved in the water and a variety of other chemical compounds that can accumulate in water sources that may have been polluted in some way. Activated charcoal is relatively easy to make, and the process of making it will be described later in this document. To make an activated charcoal filter, simply repeat the steps described in making a sand/gravel filter, but add in  a layer of activated charcoal between the coarse and fine layers of the filter. In this configuration, the filter should be divided into roughly evenly sized thirds.  4. Making activated charcoal a. Charcoal: The charcoal base of activated charcoal is hardwood charcoal. This comes from hardwood that has been burned. Commercial charcoal briquettes that is popularly used in grilling cannot be used for activated charcoal, as it is toxic if consumed. Wood from hardwood trees must be burned to make this charcoal. Hardwood is a classification of tree that spans many different species of tree. Common and easily identifiable hardwood trees are oak trees. If a tree is growing acorns, its wood is probably good to use in activated charcoal. A book of different tree species and their characteristics would be good to have on hand if looking for a hardwood tree.  b. Powdering the charcoal: Once the hardwood has been burned and the coals have cooled, the charcoal can be placed in a bag which will allow for the charcoal to be smashed to a powder with a hammer or any blunt object that will make the process of powdering the charcoal easiest.  c. “Activating the charcoal” with calcium chloride: What differentiates activated charcoal different from regular charred wood is treating it with calcium chloride. Calcium chloride is a widely available chemical used in canning vegetables, commonly known as pickle crisp. Pickle crisp is likely to be stocked in near the canning jars in most grocery stores. To treat the charcoal with calcium chloride, a 25% solution of calcium chloride in distilled water must be prepared. This solution is hazardous to the touch, so protective equipment is recommended. The solution is also likely to become hot during mixing. The powdered charcoal should be added to a bowl, and the calcium chloride solution should be added to the powder until it takes on the consistency of a paste. Allow the paste to dry for 24 hours. After drying, spread over cheese cloth or some other white cloth that has no detergent residue on it. Rinse the treated charcoal by pouring distilled water over the charcoal, allowing it to filter through the cloth that the charcoal was spread on. Dry the charcoal in an oven for 30 minutes at 250 Fahrenheit. After removing from the oven, allow to cool, and break the charcoal away from the cloth. Store in a dry, airtight container to use as necessary.  5. Making soap a. Soap is an item that is highly useful in cleaning and disinfecting, even when it is not specifically an antibacterial soap. Most everyone knows that oil and water do not mix. Soap has the miraculous ability to make it so that they will. From cleaning eating utensils to washing bodies, it is closely related to the health increased health of the modern world. In a survival situation, soap can be an important tool for personal use and a useful bartering supply.  b. Making soap: There are only three ingredients required to make basic soap. Some form of oil, which can come from animal fat or plant sources; soft water, and lye.  c. Oil: The oils that are commonly used to cook with are perfectly suitable for making soap with. Olive oil is a common oil to use in soap, as are animal fats  such as tallow. During a survival situation, animal fat will probably be easiest to acquire, but plant based oils can be acquired through the great effort of squeezing the oils out of plants, most commonly seeds and nuts. Animal fats are most easily acquired because the fats of animals that are hunted for food can also be used to make oil used in soap. When an animal is being butchered, fat and muscle can be easily distinguished. Muscle looks like the meat seen in everyday life. Fat is yellow or white, and will be found deposited in areas around superficial muscle. To make use of this animal fat for soap, the fat should be melted on at the lowest heat possible. The fat will liquefy when heated, and undesirable impurities will remain solid in the liquefied fat. This liquefied fat can be used as oil for making soap. d. Obtaining lye: Lye can be purchased in hardware stores, and is a harsh chemical that should be handled with protective equipment. In a survival situation, lye can be made using the ash of burned hardwood. Hardwood ash can be soaked in water for 12 to 24 hours in to produce a solution of lye in water. The water the ashes are soaked in will contain the lye. Drain the water off of the ashes and the lye water solution can be used to make soap. Not all hardwood will contain the same amount of lye, so allowing the water to evaporate out of the lye solution will allow for a more concentrated lye solution. To know the concentration of lye in the water, the pH of the solution can be tested (pH testing methods will be described later in this document).  e. Making soap from combining oil and lye: Oil should be heated to the minimum temperature to liquefy all fats present. Lye can be added to the oil to make transform the oil into soap. Lye solutions are recommended in a range of 30%40% of lye in distilled water. Some trial and error may be necessary to gain the hardness of soap desired. Lye should be stirred into the oil until the oil/lye solution begins to thicken. It is often recommended that a “line test” be performed to know when enough lye has been added. A line test is performed when the solution begins to thicken, and is characterized by the solution being thick enough to draw a line with a stirring instrument in the solution without the line disappearing into the solution immediately after being drawn. The mixture can be poured into a mold, a simple rectangular mold made of wood will suffice. After the soap has been left in the mold to dry for 30 days, it is ready to use. 6. Making a pH indicator a. In chemistry, it is often necessary to determine the concentration of a solution. This is usually easy due to the readily available pH test strips in any store that stocks pool supplies. pH test strips are extremely useful, and can be utilized to standardize natural pH measurement tests.  b. Red cabbage is a nutritious vegetable, but the act of cooking it as surprisingly beneficial by products in survival situations. In boiling this cabbage, the water used in boiling it, can be saved and used as a pH indicator for solutions of unknown concentration. The water of a left over from boiling red cabbage can be dropped into a solution of unknown concentration to reveal the pH of the solution. The water a cabbage is boiled in will typically be purple. A few drops of  this water into an acidic solution will turn the solution the solution a reddish color. A neutral solution, such as the water the cabbage was boiled in will be purple, like the color of the cabbage water. A basic solution will be green or yellow. The various points in the pH scale; with acids being 7 (such as lye) can be standardized using a combination of pH strips and cabbage water. Each pH value should yield a different shade of color in the cabbage water solution, and these shades can be distinguished using pH strips. Each time cabbage water is made, the pH values would change. If a great deal of cabbage water is made at once and saved though, this should be a useful tool for the quite a while.  7. Preserving meat with salt a. Salt is a natural preservative agent. Before refrigeration was widely available, salt was used to preserve meat.  b. Method to preserve meat in salt: A salt brine can be prepared by adding salt to a distilled water. Salt should be added to the point that it becomes impossible to add more salt to the water without the salt dissolving into the water. In a container that can be sealed away from the any air, add a layer of salt to the bottom. Meat can be put on top of the bottom salt layer. The meat should be covered in salt. Another layer of meat can be added on top of the salted meat, then covered in salt. This process can be repeated until the container is full to the point that no more meat can be added. Add a layer of salt on top of the most superficial layer. A stirring instrument should be used to press down on the meat to ensure no air pockets are present. Salt should be added to the container to ensure that all sides of each layer of meat are covered in salt. Push the meat down with a stirring implement again. Pour the salt brine over the mixture. Push down on the meat again, using the stirring tool. If no air bubbles arise, top off the container with the salt brine and close. The meat will be preserved in the salt. Place lid on the container, and the meat should be ready to utilize at the time it is needed. The meat will taste salty when cooked. To remove the salty taste, soak the meat in sterilized, distilled water for 12 hours before cooking.   Useful Links (Not references, but kind of)   How to make activated charcoal (video included) https://www.primalsurvivor.net/diy-activated-charcoal/   Making soap https://www.modernsoapmaking.com/lye-solution-in-soapmaking/   Making Lye https://www.thoughtco.com/make-homemade-lye-using-two-ingredients-608276   Making a pH indicator https://www.thoughtco.com/making-red-cabbage-ph-indicator-603650  How to preserve meat with salt (video) https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved =2ahUKEwiJvffIlbDoAhULLK0KHQJZCxoQFjABegQIDhAJ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.co m%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DozG06MFsGb4&usg=AOvVaw1heWsvtJRzW651Y3xrUM2V

On This Episode of The Beautiful Butterfly Radio Show , We Welcome Author Hope McGill, and We discuss her Upcoming New Release " Pearls II". Peals II is another HOT Spin Off from Pearls I and Its Bound to Keep You on Your Toes and MORE!!! Our Special Guest is Also Giving away a FREE KINDLE, To One Lucky Winner, So Make Sure You are TUNED in!!!  Meet Our Special Guest: Hope McGill grew up in New York City's famed neighborhood of Harlem. She began writing at the age of sixteen, but her love of literature began as a child. Reading has always been a means of escape for her. Curling up with a good book helped her to explore the world and meet fascinating people. As she grew older, her appetite for reading grew immensely and the books became more diverse. She began to read books such as, J. California Cooper’s, Life Is Short But Wide, Treasure E Blue’s, Harlem Girl Lost, Octavia Butler’s Bloodchild, as well as the classic, Manchild In The Promised Land by Claude Brown. The excitement and joy of reading these various authors inspired her to begin writing. Her stories feature real people with real lives, real problems, and extraordinary passion. She wants her work to offer comfort in times when things don’t appear as if they are working out. Her passion for people, music, art, and life, fuel her writing. In the future, she would like to share her personal experiences with young women, by mentoring them or working with community-based programs.

“Being bold is having the courage to listen to your inner voice and live in a way that makes you light up despite what other people think.”   Jake Heilbrunn is an author, blogger and speaker who, at the age of 20, is already living a pretty bold life. He dropped out of college after his first semester, backpacked around South America alone (without a phone!) and then wrote a memoir about what he learned. Off the Beaten Trail is a coming-of-age pilgrimage that led Jake to realize there are unlimited ways to live and that people can create their own destinies when they trust their intuition and take action.   “When we take a leap of faith based on our gut, based on our intuition, things tend to work out and we find the happiness in the pursuit of what we're doing.”   By the end of his first semester of college, Jake was unhappy and unhealthy. He had a passion for traveling, but he was afraid of the unknown. Then a career counselor asked Jake two questions that changed his life: What is the worst thing that can happen? What is the best thing that can happen?   “I realized that I was living a life based on the expectations of others. The life I was living and the life I wanted to be living were not in alignment.”   Two months later, Jake was on a plane to Guatemala with a backpack, no cellphone and very little Spanish. He spent four months backpacking through Guatemala, Nicaragua and Costa Rica so he could explore other ways of life and disconnect from a society dominated by social media. As Jake learned to find happiness in the journey, he became a more process-oriented person. He adopted an intense morning routine, inspired by Tony Robbins, that helped him write 100,000 words in three months: Wake up at 5:30 AM. Take a cold shower. “It's the analogy of doing something uncomfortable to start your day because you get in the mindset of doing other uncomfortable things and just do it.” 10-minute guided mindfulness meditation. Make tea or coffee. Put on Hans Zimmer and write. Take a break to work out or do yoga. Go back to writing. At the end of the day, Jake would visualize jumping out of bed to start writing the next morning.   “With or without writing a book, writing is a very powerful way to process what you experience.”   Jake demonstrates the power of visualization to manifest a better (and bolder) life. By visualizing the future he wanted and taking bold action to achieve it, he manifested book endorsements from two awesome influencers that he really looks up to – Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul and The Success Principles, and Chris Guillebeau, NYT Bestselling Author of The $100 Startup and The Happiness of Pursuit. Like a GPS system, visualization can keep you in route when you are heading towards a goal.   “Because I've been visualizing it, it's like I set this GPS in my head … If you take conscious action that's guided by vision there's less re-routing.”   You can pick up a FREE Kindle version of Jake's book on Nov. 2nd & Nov. 3rd by going to Amazon and searching for “Off the Beaten Trail: A Young Man's Soul-Searching Journey Through Central America” It's really awesome to see someone as young as Jake setting such a good example for people of all ages. He shows that life experience isn't necessarily tied to how many years you've been here, but how intentional you've been with the time you have had. Pick up a copy of Off the Beaten Trail (Kindle version is free Nov. 2-3, 2016) and get inspired.     SOME QUESTIONS I ASK: What are some of the fears Jake had to overcome to get on the plane, and why didn't he bring a cellphone? How did Jake become exposed to the mindfulness practices and people like Tony Robbins that helped him become confident enough to write a book at 18-years-old? How has Jake's life changed since coming home? What does he do differently on a social level? What strategies can listeners employ to connect with influencers or mentors that they look up to? How can Jake advise people to start trusting their gut or their intuition, if they don't know how it feels? What is feedback Jake has gotten from people who have read his book or heard him speak, and what actions have they taken that he inspired them to make? IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: A powerful story about self-reflection, self-growth and bold action How mindfulness practices helped Jake structure an effective morning routine How to listen to your intuition Strategies for connecting with influencers and mentors that you look up to Plus much more… DON'T STOP HERE… Guest Links & Resources: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram Off the Beaten Trail by Jake Heilbrunn (FREE on Kindle Nov. 2nd & Nov. 3rd) ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: You Are The One by Kute Blackson Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins Chicken Soup for the Soul by Jack Canfield & Mark Victor Hansen The Success Principles by Jack Canfield & Janet Switzer The $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau The Happiness of Pursuit by Chris Guillebeau   Production & Development for The Bold Life Movement Podcast by Podcast Masters
