That I have ever seen. If this really works to any quantity, its beyond terrific to know.

Tree Branch Water Filter
My husband learned this one back in Boy Scouts. Just take a section of branch about four inches long, skin it and whittle it to size to fit inside a section of hose or a bottle opening. Let water gravity feed through the branch “plug”, allowing the natural passages within the branch to act as filters. As I have not spent much time on my whittling skills, it was a little tricky for me to get the branch just the right size. Soaking the whole thing once I got the stick in the hole provided a nice, snug fit. This is a pretty slow filter, and the branch section will get clogged fairly quickly. The water will also taste like “tree” (tannins). Maybe a sugar maple would be a good choice? 😉
