As Bruce mentions in the video if the water is questionable you need to spit the water into a container to purify or sterilize later. By only letting the contaminated water contact your mouth you are limiting your exposure to any pathogens, however it could still make you sick. This technique should only be used in a true survival situation where the benefits of accessing the water outweighs the potential of exposure to waterborne pathogens.\n\nFor more life saving \"no-nonsense\" <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fightfast.com\/ar\/SV-k.php\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">survival tips from Bruce Beck click here<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bruce Beck is a well respected master at surviving in the harsh and unforgiving deserts of the American Southwest.
