It is a prized wild edible because it contains one of the most important things -- calories! -- that is often overlooked in foraging. Along with acorns and nuts like black walnut and wild hazlenuts, the ground nut can be combined with other edible to provide a life sustaining diet. Just a note, when harvested, they secrete a gummy resin that is extremely sticky and hard to remove. Hmmmmm. Potential for a waterproof glue.

I have some small sheds that drain water into barrels and from there it goes to a cistern. an rv pump gives me 45 psi of pressure and a couple small solar panels charge the batteries for the pump and this arrangement has worked well for me (using a little restraint on the consumption end), but i wouldn't drink this water, so your sand filter and the berkey would be just the thing to be totally safe in a pinch where good water was hard to find. About 3 years after i first moved here there was a severe draught where sycamore creek was reduced in places to a dry bed with few puddles. during that time people deepened dried up wells and walmart had outhouses to reduce water consumption. that was when i discovered how effective rain water storage could be, and even in the midst of the draught there was enough rain off a 200 sq ft shed roof to supply my meager needs- good gutters and rain spouts on a regular roof should be able to supply a family with plenty of water assuming they have plenty of storage and are ready to conserve. i’ve read somewhere that sand filtered water is pretty clean anyway, and the charcoal can remove all sorts of chemicals, sounds like a really easy and effective thing to do.thanks for the tip, and if pumping water up from an existing well becomes impossible there are all sorts of possible solutions in a power outage, one of the easiest is just rain water storage in barrels or a cistern.

Filtration is the easy part. Good old 5 gallon bucket with a hole in the bottom. Clean the bucket, and put a fine screen over the hole, put a layer of sand about 3 inches deep, then a layer of semi-fine washed charcoal about 3 inches deep, then more sand for about 3 inches, small gravel above that, for the bigger bits of who knows what - the bucket should be 3/4 full. I always like to pre-filter so the gravel is not really needed, The water that comes out of this is pretty pure as far as miscellaneous crud is concerned. Boil the water first and then filter and you have killed the bugs as well. I personally love the Berkey water filters. If you prefilter the water and then run it through the Berkey, it is pure and wonderful. All the bad uglies are gone. For drinking, tooth brushing and cooking, there is nothing more important than truly clean water. Well, pumping it by hand is the kicker isn’t it? Filtration is the easy part.
