Making charcoal for filtering is a primitive skill that feels deeply satisfying. You get a material that’s lighter than a cloud, blacker than a moonless night, and more useful than a Swiss Army knife in a power outage.
Why buy a plastic filter at the store when you can burn a log, crush it, and turn it into a water-cleaning superhero? Give it a try. Your future self, sipping clean water from a jar you made with fire and dirt, will thank you.
