This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Sure, but gathering wood takes a lot of effort and energy. It's an option if you don't have the filters, but the original question was why not distill if boiling and filtering ends up in "not great".

If I have to survive, and I can do with boiling and filtering, I'll take "not great" water over spending hours gathering and chopping wood to keep a fire going long enough to vaporize a liter of water.
