An /r/Survival poster gives advice on how to disinfect water with solar UV radiation. A medical scientist lists reasons why trying this will get you killed and is accused by OP of being "either an idiot or troll lol"

I don't give a fuck how much you call your flimsy delusions "enlightenment." There is no amount of ceaseless self-deception that will make you accept the charred hellscape of being a miserable useless destitute fucking junkie piece of shit. You know what you are, and it is deeply ugly on every level.

You shouldn't tell preppers how to not accidentally kill themselves so you can loot their shit later.

Instead of your own prep stash all you need in an apocalypse is a list of addresses of other preppers.

That won't help. They've already been spread to the wind so you're going to have to toggle your minimap and track down their Prepper Stash.

Cool way to get shot lmao

Let's be honest, most "preppers" are retarded and have no knowledge of how to survive in any disaster that goes on for longer than a month.

Both of these people are retards. Even the person with the correct answer is saying absolute rubbish like "rub a metal can with charcoal so that it will absorb uv radiation and keep the water above 60 degrees"

Bitch, if you have a metal can to hold water, then just boil it for fucks sake.

The OP's scenario explicitly states that 1) you can't build a fire but 2) you can find random materials like plastic bottles. If you accept that and you happen to live somewhere with natural charcoal then yeah, the solar heater fits OP's extremely specific hypothetical.

Some people act like making a fire completely out of natural materials and cordage is some easy task because they saw survivor man do it on TV.

'HURR just rub two random sticks together!'

Depending on the environment and the weather, I can be literally impossible to start a fire with the materials available to you.

No, but the circumstances where you can find was is essentially random trash AND which are too wet to create fire or find a way to dry anything in order to make fire are pretty fucking rare.

They're stipulating that you can find plastic, metal-forged objects and glass, but somehow you can't find any of the far more common materials that aren't man-made, that you can make fire from?

That's a very stupid scenario that won't occur in the real world unless you're trapped on a trash atoll or a video-game where friction doesn't exist.

Where else can I can find random shit, but where I can't make fire?

guess who's dying first

Since they seem to be living in a barren, post-apocalyptic trash land, the luck one!

/r/survival is jam packed with retards.

While these guys are out filtering charcoal and dying from parasites, I'll be nestled in the remote woods of Idaho with my canned peaches and instant oatmeal, rounded off with a nice Crystal Light.

UV-A, UV-B, UV-C. What's the difference right? It's all just UV.
