Thanks!

I think I missed lesson 14. I have 13 and 15 but no 14. I have entirely enjoyed and benefited from your information. Thanks a bunch. I hope I do not need it but am afraid I will.

Have really learned alot from your course, couldn’t wait each week to get an email. I have withdrawl. Got Lesson 15 on 03/03, but didn’t get Lesson 16 last week. Please advise.

David: you have provided absolutely great information these past weeks! Thanks to my military career, I’m not feeling overwhelmed by the depth and breadth of information you’ve. When one looks around the community, the realization hits home that only police, fire, Guard units, and Red Cross disaster relief are getting any type of response training. If one feels the need for more hands-on training – volunteer locally and benefit from the training provided.
David: I like the idea of the hot tub and waterfall setup for use as storage while being functional in their advertised use. Of course, there are those who have a swimming pool – just need to change the chlorination part.
What about ceramic filters? How could they/should they be included in the water filtration process?
I’ve just started the 12-week course and am finding alot of useful information. I am hoping that the Resource Page for the Advanced Urban Water Techniques will be corrected soon to include the PDF plan for the bucket filtration system that is referenced in the book.
Thank you and God Bless you.
Thank you for empowering us to be informed, and to be able to do something about it!
Really great information to get started with. hfb
David, being a rookie at this, I have a question. Won’t the highly reflective satillite dish cause a problem for airplanes etc.? I do happen to have an old 10 ft diameter dish on my property, and am dying to give it a try. What say you?
Hi David, I want to THANK YOU….for all of the hard work you have put into not only this water 101, but also your “Survive In Place”. You have Blessed many people with your service & knowledge. At age 73 going on 74 I am still learning Thanks to people like you….that have an open mind and share with others. Have a Blessed New Year….Roger
PS. I have been using Colloidal Silver for many years purifying water…What are your thoughts on it?
