For the first time, I am actually at peace with this concept

Not nihilistic

at all

I can also kind of understand that, too.

Like Noah building his Ark

Indeed

We will all need to build our own little arks, to survive what is to come.

Agreed

I've been slowly building my little ark over here. Just a few things at a time.

At the 7-minute mark predicts worldwide pandemic in two to three weeks with it peaking in two to three months. So figure on holeing up for 6 months minimum.

I agree, AZ

and that is quite damn spooky to contemplate

6 months of holing up....whew

@Deleted User This is scary

I need much more H20

I only have a few hundred gallons

I need at least 10 gallons per person, per day

I would look into a ceramic filter replacement cartridge and using it with two 5 gallon buckets

agreed

Instead of buying a full-sized water filter

I was contemplating buying some 55 gallon plastic water containers

If I remember right they are called ceramic candles

and building some 2x4 racks to house them and get them up off of the ground

ok

If you can get plastic 55-gallon plastic drums that would work better for water storage

yes, then filter it as you need it

through the ceramic filter setup

or put some drops of bleach into each drum

No I mean use the 55 gallon plastic drums as your clean water storage

yes, that would be ideal.

to fill them up right now, with fresh water from the tap

but I would need 10 of them, at $85 apiece.

and need to jump right on to building stands for them, as well as plumbing them

They have a bung on each side of the top so if you had two 5 gallon buckets each with a candle in it did you put it over the two holes on the top of the drum

yes, I see where you are going with that.

I have an RO water maker

I can make 100+ gallons a day.

right from my tap

(of course, this only helps if the tap is still running)

👀

but perhaps it would be stupid to filter out the chloramines
