Thats a good idea but people here tend to dump their dirty water in the streams here which includes sink water to sewage. Faith

yuk Point was that a laundry bag, the netted kind can hold SEALED containers and add shelf life. Tied off to a tree or something. Depending on how wide the stream or creek was you might be able to fashion some kind of spring house using a cooler or something similar. Or you could divert the water with a log or something... dig a trench in a U shape and divert water into the trench and put a cooler over it. then store your sealed containers on the ground inside the cooler. Not great but would probably buy you a few more days of shelf life.

People here also eat oatmeal and they've started to eat burrito wraps now.

People are funny and often don't think of their surroundings. We went without power for two weeks in the dead of winter a few years back. Folks were throwing away their freezer food in 50 gallon bags. Me, I stuck all my coolers into the snow and unloaded the freezers into them. I didn't lose a thing.

What?? Now that's just dumb. The other people, I mean.

you could use a length of cheesecloth in front of little ebb as a filter if you where worried about contamination but as long as things where sealed good you should be fine

Haha I learned that snow trick as a kid on a trip from NY to Canada. We stopped by one of the towns close to the border on the way there, and met with the mother of a family friend. She would put the sodas in the snow. It seemed the most logically obvious trick, and we were fascinated. It was almost as impressive as the length/depth of conversation she would have with her cats, lol.
