Do you know how to gather water from Rocks

The reality of finding water will be less than ideal. You may not find an abundance of water but rathe a trickle rolling down the side of a rock in a thin coating, You will try to place the lip of your canteen against the rock face but will find it difcult to get the water in your container, You can take advantage of this water that refuses to drip with nothing more than a small length of string.

With only a piece of cordage and a water bottle, You can set up a drip water collection system to fill your canteen. All you need to do is a fix one end of your cordage to the rock face and place the other taut end in the bottom of your bottle. If the rock face you are working with has fissures and cracks, you can tie a knot at the end of your paracord and jam it in one of the crackes where the water is running over.

Make sure to place your water bottle lower than where the paracord is attached to the rock, and keep the angle of the cord steep. With this setup, the water from the rock will fillow your cordage down into your bottlewhile you work on the other tasks around your camp. This setup doesn’t require constant vigilance. If you don’t have cordage, you can still wipe down the rock surface with a cloth and wring out the water into a container. Either way will help you utilize this resource instead of abandoning it and searching for that oasis that may not exist.
