Or set up a simple solar still. We used to do it all the time when camping. Don't they teach this in E&E class anymore? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_still

What's E&E???

I'd rather be a Smart-A$$ than a Dumb-A$$

Escape and Evade, he's talking about a class most of us get on how to survive if you are shot down or captured. Most (if not all) units have their own course. It's pretty informative, although I hear they have been getting worse due to the frequency of deployments and all the time constraints that go along with that.

I had my E&E class in my job training, and it was quite fun. We spent a week in the field, learned how to catch and prepare chicken and rabbit. We learned how to start a fire with random things, what plants to eat if you get sick, all sorts of things like that. We even got a class on how to make weapons and shelter out of nothing but sticks and other random things you can find in the middle of nowhere.
