Ok, I’ll admit, this is a new one for me. I know several methods for making DIY water filters, even one made from trash you can find in the woods. However I have never seen such a simple and effective DIY water filter as this one. It’s so simple to make – simply choose the right branch, in this case they use white pine, securely wedge it in the end of a pipe and you have an effective low-tech water filter.
The one downside to this simple water filter is that it can only filter around 4 liters of water a day, but they are so quick and easy to make, you could easily rig up 2 or 3 filters and leave them filter the water whilst you are doing other things.
