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
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
have fun trying to drink that if you have zero water actually stored prior
filters and a boiler
Yeah sewage contamination in the drinking supply is common during flooding
Even where I lived in California
Back in 2013 in CA during the bad drought our well dried up
Supply chains were decent but I had to shower with bottled water or surf every morning and bathe in the ocean
It the supply chains weren't good we would of be fucked
