Description: A Bushman sucking sip water through a reed acts as a filter. Water is sucked through one side of the mouth and ejected through the other side into ostrich eggs which are then plugged and buried at strategic points. The young man facing the camera carries a hunting bow. Poisoned arrows are still the normal weapon used by the Bushman in the Kalahari.
