I think you have a wonderful mindset, and heart for the coming days. I am reminded of the story of Joseph, and how the LORD himself instructed Joseph to prepare for the coming seven years of famine.

We can follow the voice of the Lord, and not go off the deep end at all. However, there are so many who are preparing as if they have to think of everything, and God is not in their program at all. I feel sorry for these people who live in such fear. On the other hand, I think your attitude and outlook is balanced, and one we all can learn from.

I had tried to google the idea but didn't have the right word search, as I had read something about this before myself. Thanks for the help!

For those who are interested in a solar still:

The principle of using the sun’s heat to separate water from dissolved minerals has been understood for millennia, salt ponds being the best example of how this knowledge has been put to use in the past. In salt ponds, seawater is drained into shallow ponds and then baked and purified in the sun until all that remains are crystals of salt. In this case, the pure water that gradually evaporated away was considered a useless byproduct, but as far back as the time of the ancient Greeks it was known that seawater could be made fresh and drinkable by this process.

A solar still works like a salt evaporation pond, except that the water that invisibly evaporates is extracted from the air; the minerals and other impurities are left behind and discarded. As the hot, moisture-laden air rises up to the slanting sheet of relatively cool glass sealed to the box, water condenses out in the form of small droplets that cling to the glass. As these droplets get heavier, they roll down the glass to the collector tube at the bottom and then out to the jug.

The box is built from 3/4 " BC-grade plywood, painted black on the inside to absorb heat. We used a double layer of plywood on the sides to resist warping and to help insulate the box, with an insulated door at the back and a sheet of glass on top.

Thank you for your kind words...

The solar still sounds very interesting...

That's it? You haven't thought about what you could do to somewhat prepare in case of such an event?

I have water filters that can filter up to 10.000 gallons. Pump it right out of the creek!! Inexpensive.

If it is God's will for your illness then why are you seeking medical attention to get rid of it?

Re: What will you do without water?

I don't think it can be used where there is open sewage being dumped. Also, there is the same model without the faucet mount. A little cheaper. Did you see the video?
