    Our grandson lives in a studio apartment and he uses the small loft area, under his couch,one drawer in his dresser. He designed a tote tv Stand and keeps it stocked, if you look at it you would never know. Thanks for sharing this video.

    Appreciate the actual examples you show, your consideration of space and personal needs (wheeled bins, lighter waterbricks, how to stack) and cautions for minding weight loads in cabinets (and floors). Looking forward to learning more about the RO filter. Thank you!

    Thank you for the tips. I live in an apartment and have a sectional sofa. I stack and store cases of cans behind one section and store 7 gallon water containers behind the other. You can’t see them. I have a water bladder for the tub but it only holds 65 gallons. I’m going to look into the water bob. I saw a good idea in comments section that someone covers water drums with tablecloths and uses them as side tables. I would love to use the water bricks but they are out of my price range for now ❤

    Great idea on under bed slide out bins! I have 3 I’m not using and had them marked for donation. Perfect timing! I have limited room as well and only drink bottled water as tap water is horrible here. I have 9 cases of 32 bottles stashed behind my couch. I pulled my couch away from wall about 5 inches and no one can see behind it unless they are standing on my couch. I have a tall wood tv cabinet that is on wheels. I have it on an angle in the corner. I can stack 3-4 cases of water behind it. I keep at least 1 case in frig all the time. I figured I need 11 cases to keep ~50 gallons of drinking/cooking water on hand at all times. Many years ago I bought 3+ liters of water in round jugs. I have about 35 that I keep tap water stored in various kitchen cabinets (bottoms). I routinely refresh these every 6 months and used up the old in my laundry - a few jugs per load and on spring refresh I water outdoor plants. I just purchased several of the flat carrying bags with handle and spout. I intend to fill these up before storms and just sit them in a plastic totes under the table. I saw one person freeze them to have blocks of ice. Haven’t tried that yet but on my to do list. Love those bricks. Definitely will invest in those as I foresee the old jugs needing replaced at some point. Thanks for great info! ❤

      Sounds great! I was going to bring up storing behind furnature kittycorner... You can only live 3 days without, generally speaking, and I felt many people in small living areas would just give up trying... soo... my video...

      @@LoneStarPreppingAgreed. I thought your video was spot on. Thanks! Can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone back and watched your vids. Lost you for awhile. Was still looking for old channel name. After watching Helene disaster I’m going full throttle again with shoring up my supplies. Inventoring. Got a new cabinet to house everything. Doing all my testing with solar battery to see what works and how much of a drain. I appreciate your work! Thx! ❤

    Excellent tips I also purchased a water bob it's a liner that you can fill in your bathtub in an emergency and its small like the size of a gallon zip lock bag on the shelf and there fairly inexpensive around 20 bucks

    Thank you for pointing out that storing canned goods for prepping doesn’t require water. Somehow the obvious sometimes escapes us! lol. I am going back to buying more canned/jarred goods and not just keep buying the readywise emergency bins. Don’t want to use up a lot of emergency water we’ve stored in cooking! :)

      Also, you might want to calculate how much of your water storage you would need for the wise food.

      No, but it will have to do. Thats why more is better. If not enough, then have plans to collect water when it rains. I would still boil and filter it though.. pretty much what I said in the video. If you didnt see that part, you may want to watch again. Thx for comment.

    I have an aqua true filtering system! Although still trying to find space like you have. Our bedframe is too low to fit anything under it. Cats can't hardly crawl there either.

    Does anyone have experience storing waterbricks in an unheated garage? It gets below freezing in winter. Would this be do-able?

    • @LoneStarPrepping
      @LoneStarPrepping  5 дней назад +1

      According to WaterBrick, you can if filled properly. See their site:

    I remember seeing a report about not storing water on a concrete surface because there is a leaching problem. Are there any guidelines for storing water on surfaces that could contaminate the water?

    • @LoneStarPrepping
      @LoneStarPrepping  День назад

      I never read a report on it, but I have heard people talk about it. To be on the safe side, you can place some 2x4s down. I did when I had a 100 gallon water tank a few years ago.
