I find individual bottles encourage me to drink it and thus rotate my supply. Also makes it easier to get smaller amounts portioned or game some for a bag if necessary, for obvious reasons

Think I might get a storage device like this

I have a water cooler I already use so it would be easy to rotate through them.

why not just filters and a boiler

I live in a city

My only hope is to out last everyone in a bug in scenario

Anyone here have a preferred way to make hardtack?

look in pins

Just a question why do some choose to stock up on water?

to drink

Been using Berkey for years. Keep spare candles, few bottles and 10 x 15l camping water carry flat packs, plus a bottle of stuff to sterilise them first.

I get some of that

But like here in Toronto people are buying water

If the power went out water would not be an issue

Our water system is very reliable

It just seems like a waste of money imo

Yeah, we actually got the berkey for other health reasons over tap water.

@Nolsters | NM water gets to your place by pumps that are powered by electricity

This Blackout also occurred in Canada

Took out water too

I think it lasted 2 days

Oh you are in Toronto

Toronto was affected

You also live on a lake though

I have about 50 gallons at my mom’s place, about 30 and a rain catchment at my dads, and 10 at my apartment.

I live in central Arkansas though, no more than a couple miles from a variety of lakes, so more water isn’t ever difficult.

@Stegg if power goes out torontos water stay on and works

What powers your stations?

I mean when my power goes out the water still works

But but the station will be messed up eventually

I mean I worked for disaster relief for a bit. I'd tow out generators and fuel for cell towers. So there are methods to keep things going.

That's what I'm saying. If your buying water it's like your prepping for a full on collapse of society

Yes

Yes

Yes.

Yes

Yes

also in my case hurricanes are a regular thing and I could become surrounded by piss and shit water at any moment because of flooding
