b. Indian wells. In dry areas, water can usually be found by digging a hole two or three feet deep in the bottom of dried up streams and river beds. When water has been obtained, camouflage hole. c. Boiled or untreated water. 1. Many vines have water in them. The vine should be cut through. When a nick is cut in the vine about three feet above the original cut, a potable liquid will drip out. Do not apply vine to lips. Avoid any vine, plant, or tree with milky juice as many are poisonous. Water can be found at the base of the leaves of palms; or in sections of dead bamboo (see figure 7). A section of bamboo placed against a tree will collect water during rain. Moisture collects under leaves in the dry season. Rub these with a cloth or other absorbent material, squeeze it out into container. 2. At the sea shore, drinkable but brackish water can be procured by digging a hole ten feet above the high tide line. 3. If water is scarce, travel during coolest part of day or during night. Rest during heat of day. By doing this, the water content of the body is conserved.
