In Canada and the U.S., we are incredibly fortunate to have access to fresh, running water whenever we need it. Not having to fight to survive and get our daily needs met allows us to be able to focus on other things, like creating new technology and advancing our capability and knowledge in ways never thought possible. However, like all things that are mass-produced, the quality of our tap water suffers.
Today’s tap water is honestly, nothing short of scary. I know that the governing bodies are doing the best that the can to provide for the public but the fact of the matter is that unfortunately ‘water treatment’ means adding hormone-disrupting chemicals like chlorine, man-made fluoride and an assortment of heavy metals. Also, the water treatment process is unable to remove the accumulation of pharmaceutical medications such as the pill. Sigh!
Wild Water Hunting in Ontario
Regular wild water hunting is made possible thanks to websites like FindaSpring.com; an online database of springs around the world. Please check it out, to find a spring near you! It is complete with details like videos, directions and test results of each spring.
While getting your own spring water is an easy way to upgrade your health quickly, it is unrealistic to boycott tap water altogether. We still need to shower! However, as David says; “get a filter or be a filter.” We highly recommend getting a shower head filter to protect you and your family, especially if you live in cities or municipalities with old water systems.

So, what can YOU do?
Drink and use ONLY pure water! This could mean:- getting an under-the-counter water filtration system,
- getting spring water (in glass bottles) regularly delivered to your home, or,
- better yet, get into the habit of going out and foraging your own!
Other reasons why harvesting your own spring water is the best ever:
- It is pure, living water, the way nature intended.
- Gets you outside of our homes, offices, towns and cities.
- You can try out new springs and explore new areas.
- Make it a fun and healthy tradition with your family,
- deepens your connection to nature and the source of your food.
- Carrying the water jugs is always a good workout.
- The water tastes, unlike any tap water you've ever had.
