It was a dark stormy night. I was wet wet wet.
What had started with a beautiful Gauteng warm summer sunset had turned into a torrential downpour.
Being the lazy sod I am, I had decided not to set up my small tent but too sleep under the stars wrapped in my poncho.
Now I was wet through. The poncho did keep me warm though.
However if I rolled over I became cold and wet. If I lay still I remained warmish and wet.
It was a really instructive evening. Sleep in the normal sense was impossible. But if you lay still and closed your eyes you managed some rest. Thank goodness it was not cold though.
That’s the weird thing about rain and all things watery: Without it we cannot last more than 3 days.
I doubt I could go beyond 24hours without 2 liters of water.
Yet too much of it can drown us or make us very sick and uncomfortable. Even now there are reports of a Cholera outbreak in Hammanskraal.
So be prepared for too much water or none at all.
A simple Poncho can mean the difference between being uncomfortable or getting deadly sick.
A single Aqua Tab into a JOJO tank can purify 5000 liters of water or a single sachet of P&G Purifier can make 10 Liters safe.
A bit of preparation can meant the difference between being uncomfortable or getting really sick.
All the best for 2024!
