We grew up poor with no running water. Sometimes we tried to melt snow. It was filled with soot I am 72 I hate the “Good Old Days”

You could keep a container of snow in the cabin realistically and it would melt slowly for a few days. Again though, only realistic in an emergency

I had to do that once, literally took hours using every pot I had to fill the fridge with water. It worked but what a pain

Yup melt snow for water once and you will definitely be inspired to build a water system.

when I was in scouts I was told snow is mostly air so not a good source of water. ice is the better option for water in winter conditions.

All the above true off grid here for 9 years I've had to use snow for everything will never drink again even boiled 😑 Takes forever lol

everything you said was 100% I live in a log cabin and I've quite often had to melt snow on the woodstove when the well ran dry. takes hours to end up with a tiny, dirty amount of water

if I remember correctly from physics class, water is famously hard to heat up coz of it's large specific heat capacity. which means, it takes a lot of

In a survival situation I usually just drill a well down to about 1k ft below the surface. Then pump and filter it from there.

better off finding a frozen pond and cut some ice out of it, still need to distill/filter it though

The energy required for the phase change from ice to water is huge. Definitely an inefficient method.

Besides snow is so devoid of any minerals, that people, who drunk thawed water throuout winter, ended up with terrible holes in their teeth in spring.
