It's a lot of hard work. I'm glad the video showed the salt that remains. That looks a lot. And you have to constantly clean out that salt otherwise, the heat transfer becomes very inefficient.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

And he also has some fresh sea salt to season his wild boar.

As soon as they turned off the camera, he started making 'shine.

With a few modifications, that'd make a good shitter.

the real trick is to add a little of that salt back in.

Sort of in reverse. I, too, thought that he seemed to be doing a lot of work for potable water until it struck me that what he was probably making was salt. Letting the steam escape from a small tube was probably just a good way to keep heat in the pot. FWIW, he did add more sea water through the tube sticking up at an angle out of the lid.

Was that rolled up leaf in the pipe there to direct the stream of water out of the pipe or to serve as a supplementary condensation surface?

I hate these videos. If they need to make something they just make some mud. I spent a lot of time as a child playing in the mud and flinging it little Susie Glecker. It never occurred to me to make something with it. what a wasted childhood.
