The best water I can recall drinking came from a spring south of Chinook MT 😎

I think a person could live off of beer only, for many years.

I looked it up, whiskey contains phosphorus, zinc and iron. As an added bonus it also has thiamine (B1) and niacin (B3) and makes you feel warmer..
We know that ice can be found right nearby.
How has no-one mentioned this yet?

I agree!
Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

That’s all the local store has left. Distilled draws minerals from your body. It's best to drink it at the same time as good mineral supplements. Use whats available until you get a good quality purifier. It beats being dehydrated. This, but no problem short term.

Distilled water is okay. KYHillChick has been running a distiller since her cancer surgery in 2018. She was put on distilled water by her nutritionist.
Yes, I'd always heard distilled water is bad, that it sucks minerals out of your body. However, if you're doing it short term there is no problem. KYHillChick takes a bunch of supplements every day, partly to put back what the distilled water might take out.
Rainwater is a whole 'nuther matter. It too is safe, but it's got stuff in it. One thing I know of for sure is oxygen. My water system at the farm runs off rainwater. I had to replace the pump after 3 years, because the water ate the steel impeller. I put in a pump with a plastic impeller, and it's been good for over 15 years. Rainwater also absorbs all the air pollutants. Where I am out in the sticks, it's fine. However, I would not want to drink rain from just downwind of Cincinnati.

Rainwater is distilled water. Check your facts and get back to us, Distilled is the purest of water, You're trying to tell me that water that falls from the sky has no impurities? I'm telling you it is distilled. I said nothign about impurities. Anything distilled may contain impurities depending on what happens to it after it is distilled. Agreed. Distillation is a process, nothing more. Purity of the cuts is solely dependent upon the efficiency of the apparatus, the raw materials, and other factors. But it IS distillation none the less

My family has eaten a whole lot of fish that we have caught. We all have become smarter as we age.
That's science. Ha!
Gun Shows are almost as comical as boat ramps in the Spring.

Beer was mentioned.
I like beer.
Beer and water are my top choices to keep hydrated and at times slightly inebriated.
Distilled water would be my last choice if I had to choose because I don't like the taste or lack of taste.

That’s all the local store has left. Distilled draws minerals from your body. It's best to drink it at the same time as good mineral supplements. Use whats available until you get a good quality purifier. It beats being dehydrated. Same with RO (reverse osmosis) water. RO water needs to have critical minerals placed back into the water to make long term usage safe! memtb When I worked in a power plant we had a high purity water system for certain things used in the production facilities we supported. Courtesy of a Reverse Osmosis system and that's what we were always told about drinking that. Because it's nothing more than straight pure water with nothing else and your body isn't accustomed to that. Like when you go to a different part of the world and they say "Don't drink the water !".

When water goes from the liquid phase to the vapor phase, minerals in solution are left behind and that happens whether it's just evaporation at ambient temperatures or by boiling. And that water vapor can precipitate back to the liquid phase in a condenser or in the atmosphere. The processes are different but removal of minerals happens with both.
Exactly.

I think that was actually done in history in certain regions.

Jethro made it TO 6th grade. Whether he made it THROUGH 6th grade is open to contention...
