Water
Drink from a water vine
In tropical forests, some woody vines carry drinkable water straight from the ground to the canopy.

Step-by-step
Look for thick, woody lianas or grape vines climbing from the forest floor into the canopy.
Cut the vine high with a knife and let the cut end drip into your mouth or container.
If no water flows, the vine may be dead or the flow reversed — try cutting lower down or choose another vine.
Collect only what you need; vines are a limited resource and animals depend on them too.
Filter through cloth and purify if possible, especially near human or livestock activity.
Warning: Some vines exude milky latex that is toxic or irritating. If the sap is white and sticky, don't drink — pick a different vine.
