if I get a handful of this water in here and I create the solar still, which adds purified
water, I already have the contaminated water mixed in with it, which defeats the whole

here, see how wobbly this is because the water. Do yourself a favor, get a stone, and do not
get stone out of a creek or anywhere that's wet. Get it on dry ground, because you don't
want to contaminate it. Use this as like a weigh down. Put that in there. If you want
to use a few extra ones, you know, to even it out, do so and get that leveled. Now that's
