The Extreme Solar Still Concept
• http://survivalblog.com, by Jim D.If you ask almost anyone that has read a book on survival, or took a summer wilderness class, how they would acquire water in a desert environment, without hesitation they would say....
“I would just build a solar still.” There is nothing wrong with that. It is one way to attain at least some water. The solar still is the stock answer, and not a bad one either.
