Hey guys, I'm Dylan. I got here a couple months ago, right before that whole train debacle. But with the announcement of the next one coming up, and the whole theme being survival, I think we should all coordinate and prepare.

We don't know exactly what's waiting for us when we get there, but we know they don't have a lot of natural resources left and we'll be there for two weeks. We can bring anything we can carry. Two weeks of food should be easy enough to carry if you ration it, but two weeks of water is another story.

Does anyone have a good, portable way to filter or distill water? Something that could fit in a backpack? Or at least something that could be assembled from parts that fit in a backpack.

We should also brainstorm other ways to be prepared for whatever is coming.

there's other ways to hydrate than simply drinking water!
what's your favorite fruit?

Hey, I'm Popp.

Even if it's hard up for resources, water shouldn't be that hard to come by, right? All you'd need is a pot to boil it unless it's all seawater or something.

Right. If they’re low on resources we don’t want to look like easy pickings while bringing supplies.

I agree we should coordinate as fast as we can, though surely we will be forced to make some difficult decisions. I can make something to clean water, I can coordinate supplies, but that won’t mean much if we can’t guard it.

[ Well, this is a question Jay can answer. ]

Hey Dylan. Nice to - well, "meet" you? I think I saw a sporting goods store in town. The kind that would have camping supplies. Anybody check to see if they have Aquatabs? Those little water purification tablets you can take camping. They're not as good as boiling and distilling, but they're small and easy to pack. 10 boxes of that'd keep everyone here hydrated for a week.
