It’s crazy how people think they think you can carry in a bag for everything you need to survive, much less help with your family. When I was in the Corps, a 70 lb bag only carried enough basic materials for a couple days max. Supply is always critical.
Nobody thinks that. Any rational person can reason that or quickly find out the very first time they try on their kit. For an avg person, 40 lbs would be MAX. A lot of exploded knees and back any more than that. 70 lbs in the military is when trained 18, 19, 20 yo's in the best shape of their lives.
You forget that the civilian market uses technology and money the US Gov would never pay for a soldier I can afford. I can carry 50lbs and be sufficient for 6 weeks in winter. Months long in summer. Go look at thru hiking with fishing.

I have a 330 gallon IBC tank in my garage, mainly for flushing toilets and washing. Next to it is 20 cases of bottled water. Next to that is a water filter for the rain barrels in the backyard. Gotta have clean water.
@sh839c the time limit for cancer is less important than the time limit for clean water. I'd rather drink cancer water than dirty water. So there's 2 answers to that, how long are the bottles healthy vs how long are they biologically clean.
Most bottled water is good for 3 years but it’s water, just filter it. The 20 cases are rotated between two households. We don’t drink bottled water all the time but enough to rotate it over a few years.
Where I live we get occasional notifications on our phones that we need to boil our water before consuming it. We had 5 days of below freezing temps a couple of years ago, and the pipes froze all over the area. The Texas power grid couldn't keep up with demand, so we had rolling blackouts. I have camping supplies, so I was able to dress warmly, boil water with butane and alcohol stoves, and cook. I keep battery powered radios in my backpacks, so I was able to follow the news and pass on info to the apartment manager and neighbors. I loaned a few power banks to people so they could charge their phones. No need to bug out when you have food, water, battery powered lanterns, radios, and phone and you can boil water and cook and keep about 5 gallons of water stored. Where I live, I'm more likely to need to stay put than bug out. It's a good idea for everyone to keep a few supplies for an unplanned staycation. ( Don't forget a manual can opener).
You can melt snow with tealight candles for small pieces of wood with a clay pot over them. That's a water source. You can put up your tent and get inside with a candle in a clay pot on top of it and keep warm. One small candle will last for 8 hours. Get a dehydrator, and dry food. Quit spending on frivolous stuff. You can lime enlarged glass jars in keep boiled eggs.

This is a very spot on video……bug in (if possible), have your get home, bugout, and secondary retreat locations ready to USE if required. There are too many scenarios that could arrive and you can not cover all the bases…so hopefully you will have your home location as a first starting point and you may have time to plan, pack, and leave if needed with being geared to the situation that has presented itself.

Correct. Bugging out is largely prepper fantasy. Extreme weather would be one of the few realistic emergencies where leaving home is a main consideration.
Paint that container asap. You need to block light from getting to it... Controls algae growth. Your 275 gallons will turn green even with artificial light. Tarp it well if unwilling to paint.
Great video. Watching it made me realize that I have not heard the term "Get-home bag" in some time; bugging out is a romantic notion for some, but neither our family's generator nor month's worth of food for each family member is in the bag in my car.
Yes, it's ALWAYS best to " bug in". Are you keeping the supply fresh, or is it already sealed for storage? How are you stabilizing the water long term? And do you have bleach on hand In case it goes south? How about methods of resupply and treatment? Also, side note, You need to get caps for your respirators. They let you block one port and not have to contaminate 2 cartridges at a time. You can get 3d printed caps pretty cheap,install them and either epoxy the port shut. They also make it WAY easier to aim a shouldered weapon.
It looks clear, that might be his whole house buffer on a float valve? So always circulating. That's what I do. Just run it empty, drain it, sterilize it twice a year.
The reality is that one cannot bug out with everything necessary to survive long term. And of those people who think they can, they have no medicine and will likely get a cut and die from infection.. Point is you cannot carry everything for every possible scenerio.. You will always find yourself missing or in need of something you don’t have.
I am staying at my home I have streams n land n good but of wooded area for hunting and we just moved two months ago to our forever home on the mountains and buging out is the last worst thing we gotta do but not far at all n all my animals r here too as well do while people in big to small citiea n towns running around I am staying home n last as long as possible
The bug out myth. I could not possibly carry all the food water and supplies I need. I’m staying at home in the high desert. 3.5 hours by car to the nearest large urban cesspool.
For me im setting up my bob for my second home, my pickup. Im either at home or work and when im at work im prepped to get home lol. Only 11 miles away but 1500ish elevation difference will make for a fun walk. I like your little setup. Keep it up
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. Even during Covid and supply chain issues, any extra food in pantry helped until you can find the ingredients that you need. That alone has changed my mindset when there was no eggs, butter, milk, flour, learned to substitute ingredients since then. A more realistic scenerio is to loose power for longer than three weeks. Local grocery stores refrigeration will not have what we need. Supplies may reach populated areas in scarcity slowly, even slower outside the cities. Just look towards the hurricane and flood surge areas and natural disaster areas that couldn't be fixed and rebuilt in a week, due to supply chain issues on parts too. Infrastructure like boiling water or natural gas shut downs, electricity ect.. -John's wife
I sure hope you didn't forget to prep medical supplies lol. I would say that you have done a good job at getting started but if that is all you have than your going to go through it pretty fast especially now that all your neighbor's know what you have 🤣
Holy moly! I was like "oh that's a nice water container that holds a 💩ton of water... I wonder how much it is" $750! Water is probably the most important part of prepping that most people overlook but damn... I guess I'm sticking with filling my bathtub and draining my hot water tank 😂
Check your water tank monthly for maintenance for prevention of Mold, film, & other impurities. If possible, consider a darker coloured tank (blue, beige, grey) where light can't penetrate it. OUTSTANDING preps❗ Thanks for sharing this video & info with us 🌻 . #RealTalk
Definitely agree brother something a lot of people don't even understand is they think they're just going to bug out and be able to feed themselves and survive will be picked off with sniper rifles won't be able to get food either most people don't know how to trap or hunt
Full size truck , 3 barrels of fuel and 3 barrels of water in the bed. For added security- full length job boxes down the rails (weather guard) with your dry goods locked inside. Add 3/8” steel plate along inside of truck bed,job boxes and tailgate to protect the contents from enemy fire. Do same with inside of door panels using hooks on the steel plates to hang them from windowsill
A queen size waterbed usually holds of water.A king waterbed holds around of water. Those totes are 275 gallons. then add one large individual on it... it adds up but any building built to modern code should be good to go... it would definitely suck if it were to leak out though... well for anyone below it.
The safest place is your home, you know the layout inside out, tons of storage, install good quality security defence.. feel safer in normal environment than places that you are not use to like the woods
I like basements with french doors, you can slide one of those 275 gallon babies or two in there, then make a concrete block bunker down there, with a safe door! :) Don't forget to put the bunker were your full bath is, then you can make it back there and then make a fake wall with a dummy door to get to everything. Just food for thought guys have fun. :)
Maybe you could find a good friend who lives in the country and possibly use their place as a bugout location and put a 55 gallon plastic barrel there filled with supplies for when you need it. Offer to help with chores and stuff around the place to pay for your stay
I live in the city. From a practical standpoint, it's good if everyone is prepared for emergencies (especially if there's fewer and fewer brick and mortar store, thanks to moving e-commerce). The worse the scenario, the more likely evacuation in the city would be necessary.
The ideal situation for a BOB is to get you to either the main place you would ride out whatever event is happening or to your back up place in case your home/main shelter is compromised some how. I have stuff prepped for about a week or so at home and if I absolutely need to leave and can't stay with friends or relatives then I have a small area back on my family's land where I can set up a temporary camp away from roads and houses a decent distance. It won't be luxury living, but I would have access to shelter and water and maybe canned food or hunt/forage for food.
That’s right. Bugging out, in most scenarios, should be a last resort. However, there are certain scenarios when leaving home or a bugout location may be necessary. Folks who think they are going to just run into the wilderness and survive for extended periods of time with limited supplies, would be in for a rude awakening. There are some seriously skilled primitive and wilderness survival experts, and even they would struggle after a period of time. Still, it’s good to learn those skills just in case; backups for backups. Wilderness survival skills might come in handy if folks needed to temporarily leave home and can’t make it to a bugout location for a week or some situation like that. I say, prep for as many scenarios as possible, with a focus on bugging in. Prep up, everyone.
If you actually carry your bug out bag as you should. It is most likely to be used as a get home bag. For years, I carried a get home bag. My work area was generally within twenty miles of where I live and often in the woods well away from any other support. I had a get home bag, a lunch box, and water jugs. The contents of the bag were often very useful. During emergency operations, I often worked a 12 hour on 12 hour off shift for several weeks at a time. I depend on exactly what I took with me for my comfort and safety. Or in the worst case to get home.
I agree with you that staying at home is the first option. In fact, I live in the location where even if it's the zombie apocalypse just for hypothetical. I don't necessarily think I even have to leave cuz I'm out in the middle of the boonies. All I really have to do is beef up my fence situation and that's pretty much all I got to do and my bug out bag will probably be for more hunting purposes should the situation call for it where I'm at for like maybe a day or two? Looking for hogs alligators and whatever else I can find But having said that, looking at your wall you don't have that much. You could put all that stuff from your shelf into your car in about 20 minutes tops and I'm giving you 20 minutes because he'll probably take 10 minutes just for that shelf. 10 more minutes to grab other things like clothes, weapons and other things that you don't necessarily keep in that room But let's say you don't have a car. You have a motorcycle, a motorcycle with bags for storage. Could probably hold at least 30% of what you have there so that would be the goal if you have to bug out, do it while you still have 30% of your supplies
Bugging in is a lot more likely, couple years ago , the power went out for a week due to a hurricane, straight to my bugout for solar panels, hand crank radio and alcohol stove , extra flashlights , had it covered
I agree 100 % I'm 55 and I can't bug out. But I plan on staying home unless I have no choice. If the bad guys come and try anything I don't agree with they will have one hell of a fight trying to get to me and my family
I got a similar setup except i got a whole section for ammo/firearms! I have this weird feeling in the upcoming years ammo will become harder and harder to get! Or worse….!!! And if ever it doesn’t then I still made one hell of a investment since ammo prices only go up! Imo it’s more stable of a price increase year over year then gold or real estate!
I would get a floor water detection sensor. We have them around all water faucets/toilets/valves/water heater. If they get wet, the alarm sounds and if you have power a msg is sent via wifi. would be bad if it that developed a leak somewhere and flooded the basement is all.
When the water quits coming out of the tap, that is when you need to consider bugging out. If you have a back up water supply, you can delay it. As you draw down on your supply: Plan exactly how much water reserve you will need to get to another location.
That's what I've asking all the time! I heard that if it gets too hot it can kill you. So storing it in a country where it's hot all the time, not sure how it works.
I'd be interested in how you clean the 1,000 litre water tank and how often you exchange the water! At least you're looking at the possible natural disasters, even with the current tensions I find it impossible to believe the nuclear war scenario.
Bom que nos Estados Unidos tem muito material voltado para preparadores. A cultura preparadora aí é forte. Infelizmente aqui no Brasil não tem tanto material voltado para essa área
Yes yes my whole life is based around my preps. Literally have streams running through my primary location and my BOL. I have reservoirs within walking distance. I have enough land to grow and preserve my own food. I belong to local volunteer emergency services for training and resources. Preparing is a life style. Not just something you do on the side.
I wish you all the luck.That you possibly can get!!!😅 But If we have a real emergency and Sima decides to come in and confiscate, anything that they decide that they need.They can take everything that you have stocked Up on... I like everything that you have Stopped up on to keep yourself safe and emergency....😮
I can tell you first hand an IBC tote seems like a decent water storage solution until you actually have to start using it. Just for drinking and cooking an IBC tote represents a week worth of water maximum, 3 days if you wash dishes and flush toilets, if it's a day that you want to do laundry or have a bath you can drain an entire tote in just 1 day.
it all depends on the scenario and where you live. But yes most the time the safest thing to do is Bug In and Harden your home defenses, establish security, surveillance, and communication / neighborhood watch.. Drones and Dogs also help. Automatic LED solar security lights.
Been thinking about getting that water container. But heard you don't want it clear. Cause with light entering bacteria grows dramatically faster. Your thoughts?
CDC says every American should have at minimum; food and water that will sustain you for 90 days. The average American has food and water for just one week.
Only reason to leave in an SHTF scenario is if you’re safer somewhere else than at your own home. Only if you’re in highly urbanized areas or struck by natural disaster is when it makes sense
think of it more as a shtf travel bag. its not meant for long term. just to get back home or evacuate to another safer location. point a to point b. even better, a truck bag that stays in there and a kit/totes at home that can be quickly loaded into a vehicle if you need to evacuate. in a panic it is easy to forget important items.
How long can you keep water like that? Do you have any I treat it over a certain amount of time to keep it fresh, or do you use it for a garden or something after so long and replace it?
Hurricane Hugo back in 89 showed me how the public behaves when power, water, and emergency services go out for 4-6 weeks.

It looks clear, that might be his whole house buffer on a float valve? So always circulating. That's what I do. Just run it empty, drain it, sterilize it twice a year.
theres bleach right next to it
Holy 💩!! omfGAWD 🔥 😳
The reality is that one cannot bug out with everything necessary to survive long term. And of those people who think they can, they have no medicine and will likely get a cut and die from infection.. Point is you cannot carry everything for every possible scenerio.. You will always find yourself missing or in need of something you don’t have.
Water tanks are a must I have 1 but planning on getting a few more
I am staying at my home I have streams n land n good but of wooded area for hunting and we just moved two months ago to our forever home on the mountains and buging out is the last worst thing we gotta do but not far at all n all my animals r here too as well do while people in big to small citiea n towns running around I am staying home n last as long as possible
I feels like the world around me is ending but I am in the best time of my life, feels like so many great things are coming towards me
Most realistic point of view I’ve seen in quite some time. Excellent attitude and attention 💯🇺🇸
Bugging out is the worst case scenario. True words.
The bug out myth. I could not possibly carry all the food water and supplies I need. I’m staying at home in the high desert. 3.5 hours by car to the nearest large urban cesspool.
You are 100% correct, if you need to leave,if you need to stay. It’s all about being prepared for any situation. It’s why they call it prepping 🔥🙏
For me im setting up my bob for my second home, my pickup. Im either at home or work and when im at work im prepped to get home lol. Only 11 miles away but 1500ish elevation difference will make for a fun walk. I like your little setup. Keep it up
Awesome music in the back ground 👍
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. Even during Covid and supply chain issues, any extra food in pantry helped until you can find the ingredients that you need. That alone has changed my mindset when there was no eggs, butter, milk, flour, learned to substitute ingredients since then. A more realistic scenerio is to loose power for longer than three weeks. Local grocery stores refrigeration will not have what we need. Supplies may reach populated areas in scarcity slowly, even slower outside the cities. Just look towards the hurricane and flood surge areas and natural disaster areas that couldn't be fixed and rebuilt in a week, due to supply chain issues on parts too. Infrastructure like boiling water or natural gas shut downs, electricity ect.. -John's wife
You made an excellent point sir, and its definitely understood.
I sure hope you didn't forget to prep medical supplies lol. I would say that you have done a good job at getting started but if that is all you have than your going to go through it pretty fast especially now that all your neighbor's know what you have 🤣
Correct! Even the life straws. I always tell my loved ones, if I find myself needing to use a life straw, things have gotten VERY bad.😢
Holy moly! I was like "oh that's a nice water container that holds a 💩ton of water... I wonder how much it is" $750! Water is probably the most important part of prepping that most people overlook but damn... I guess I'm sticking with filling my bathtub and draining my hot water tank 😂
preach my brother ❤ that's exactly what it is.
Then what??😂
@@patriciasawyer24what what?
Check your water tank monthly for maintenance for prevention of Mold, film, & other impurities. If possible, consider a darker coloured tank (blue, beige, grey) where light can't penetrate it. OUTSTANDING preps❗ Thanks for sharing this video & info with us 🌻 . #RealTalk
I wish o had that water station! Brilliant! Where did you get that huge container?
Definitely agree brother something a lot of people don't even understand is they think they're just going to bug out and be able to feed themselves and survive will be picked off with sniper rifles won't be able to get food either most people don't know how to trap or hunt
Liked for based prepping advice. Subbed for The Doors lol
The End is also on my apocalypse Playlist 😂😊
Full size truck , 3 barrels of fuel and 3 barrels of water in the bed. For added security- full length job boxes down the rails (weather guard) with your dry goods locked inside. Add 3/8” steel plate along inside of truck bed,job boxes and tailgate to protect the contents from enemy fire. Do same with inside of door panels using hooks on the steel plates to hang them from windowsill
Damn, I hope that’s the basement floor not the first or second floor, that’s a lot of water weight!
That could be an H2OhCrap!!moment.
@@handledhandlehandlinghandlernice 👌 😅
I was thinking the same thing. I'd hate to be the guy in the apartment below!
A queen size waterbed usually holds of water.A king waterbed holds around of water. Those totes are 275 gallons. then add one large individual on it... it adds up but any building built to modern code should be good to go... it would definitely suck if it were to leak out though... well for anyone below it.
just like your mother, heh
I agree young sir and good song choice. 👍
The safest place is your home, you know the layout inside out, tons of storage, install good quality security defence.. feel safer in normal environment than places that you are not use to like the woods
I like basements with french doors, you can slide one of those 275 gallon babies or two in there, then make a concrete block bunker down there, with a safe door! :) Don't forget to put the bunker were your full bath is, then you can make it back there and then make a fake wall with a dummy door to get to everything. Just food for thought guys have fun. :)
Your moving in the right direction. I'd have a bug out location if I could afford, but I will be bugging 'in'. You do what you can afford.
Maybe you could find a good friend who lives in the country and possibly use their place as a bugout location and put a 55 gallon plastic barrel there filled with supplies for when you need it. Offer to help with chores and stuff around the place to pay for your stay
Ne sure to add a small amount of bleack into your water storage. It will prevent microbes from growing in the water.
“I don’t want to set the world on fire.”🔥🔥🗣️🗣️
I live in the city. From a practical standpoint, it's good if everyone is prepared for emergencies (especially if there's fewer and fewer brick and mortar store, thanks to moving e-commerce).
The worse the scenario, the more likely evacuation in the city would be necessary.
Yes shelter in place is the way! Totally agree. Also where did you get that massive water tank?
Any farm store, Tractor supply, Home depot.
Very nice set up, that's a good investment, and very nicely organized.
The ideal situation for a BOB is to get you to either the main place you would ride out whatever event is happening or to your back up place in case your home/main shelter is compromised some how. I have stuff prepped for about a week or so at home and if I absolutely need to leave and can't stay with friends or relatives then I have a small area back on my family's land where I can set up a temporary camp away from roads and houses a decent distance. It won't be luxury living, but I would have access to shelter and water and maybe canned food or hunt/forage for food.
Absolutely agree. Most people cannot bring everything in bugging out. Those items are their lifeline.
😂 I have not prepped... Worst case scenario, I've got a LOT of cat food & peanut butter! 😁
I know that's right 💯❗ Thanks for sharing 🌻 . #RealTalk
That’s right. Bugging out, in most scenarios, should be a last resort. However, there are certain scenarios when leaving home or a bugout location may be necessary. Folks who think they are going to just run into the wilderness and survive for extended periods of time with limited supplies, would be in for a rude awakening. There are some seriously skilled primitive and wilderness survival experts, and even they would struggle after a period of time. Still, it’s good to learn those skills just in case; backups for backups. Wilderness survival skills might come in handy if folks needed to temporarily leave home and can’t make it to a bugout location for a week or some situation like that. I say, prep for as many scenarios as possible, with a focus on bugging in. Prep up, everyone.
If you actually carry your bug out bag as you should. It is most likely to be used as a get home bag.
For years, I carried a get home bag. My work area was generally within twenty miles of where I live and often in the woods well away from any other support. I had a get home bag, a lunch box, and water jugs. The contents of the bag were often very useful. During emergency operations, I often worked a 12 hour on 12 hour off shift for several weeks at a time.
I depend on exactly what I took with me for my comfort and safety. Or in the worst case to get home.
I agree with you that staying at home is the first option. In fact, I live in the location where even if it's the zombie apocalypse just for hypothetical. I don't necessarily think I even have to leave cuz I'm out in the middle of the boonies. All I really have to do is beef up my fence situation and that's pretty much all I got to do and my bug out bag will probably be for more hunting purposes should the situation call for it where I'm at for like maybe a day or two? Looking for hogs alligators and whatever else I can find
But having said that, looking at your wall you don't have that much. You could put all that stuff from your shelf into your car in about 20 minutes tops and I'm giving you 20 minutes because he'll probably take 10 minutes just for that shelf. 10 more minutes to grab other things like clothes, weapons and other things that you don't necessarily keep in that room
But let's say you don't have a car. You have a motorcycle, a motorcycle with bags for storage. Could probably hold at least 30% of what you have there so that would be the goal if you have to bug out, do it while you still have 30% of your supplies
I love your stockpile bro!💯🤙🏽 way to go!
My question is, how long is that water good for that you have stored? This may be dumb but does water expire?
Bugging in is a lot more likely, couple years ago , the power went out for a week due to a hurricane, straight to my bugout for solar panels, hand crank radio and alcohol stove , extra flashlights , had it covered
Much less if you are on foot
Yes the old alcohol will warm you up thingy lol
I agree 100 % I'm 55 and I can't bug out.
But I plan on staying home unless I have no choice. If the bad guys come and try anything I don't agree with they will have one hell of a fight trying to get to me and my family
I got a similar setup except i got a whole section for ammo/firearms!
I have this weird feeling in the upcoming years ammo will become harder and harder to get! Or worse….!!!
And if ever it doesn’t then I still made one hell of a investment since ammo prices only go up!
Imo it’s more stable of a price increase year over year then gold or real estate!
Best fuckin song ever!!!😂perfectly used lol
Try to be careful with the waters quality over time
1 to 3 drops of bleach per gallon will kill all bacteria and EVERYTHING else can be removed through a filter.
I would get a floor water detection sensor. We have them around all water faucets/toilets/valves/water heater. If they get wet, the alarm sounds and if you have power a msg is sent via wifi. would be bad if it that developed a leak somewhere and flooded the basement is all.
In the case of an emergency I am trying my HARDEST to stay at home lol if the Bugout bag is pulled out there's literally no other options
Thats right. At the last , movement will be life. Those who dont will wither away.
You are right, situations at my home also same, don't happen big war just weather ☁️
My house has a swimming pool with 30,000 gallons of water. It is nice to know I have water covered for a very long time. 💯
You have a nice set up, I wish my parents were more into this stuff too.
Right. Your bugout is the last thing you touch, only when/if you've run out of resources or your homestead is compromised.
Good job.. ppl need to trust their own judgment and what's best for them..
Add a pressure pump and you have fire suppression system as well.
Agree. If my family has to bug out I don’t see our servival rate very high🤦🏻. I’m ready to bug in.
When the water quits coming out of the tap, that is when you need to consider bugging out. If you have a back up water supply, you can delay it. As you draw down on your supply: Plan exactly how much water reserve you will need to get to another location.
How do you keep the water from going bad?
That's what I've asking all the time! I heard that if it gets too hot it can kill you. So storing it in a country where it's hot all the time, not sure how it works.
I'd be interested in how you clean the 1,000 litre water tank and how often you exchange the water!
At least you're looking at the possible natural disasters, even with the current tensions I find it impossible to believe the nuclear war scenario.
I have a few videos on my tik tok about this topic
Bom que nos Estados Unidos tem muito material voltado para preparadores. A cultura preparadora aí é forte. Infelizmente aqui no Brasil não tem tanto material voltado para essa área
Lmao you just stocking up for us local warlords 😂
Yes yes my whole life is based around my preps. Literally have streams running through my primary location and my BOL. I have reservoirs within walking distance. I have enough land to grow and preserve my own food. I belong to local volunteer emergency services for training and resources. Preparing is a life style. Not just something you do on the side.
I wish you all the luck.That you possibly can get!!!😅 But If we have a real emergency and Sima decides to come in and confiscate, anything that they decide that they need.They can take everything that you have stocked Up on...
I like everything that you have Stopped up on to keep yourself safe and emergency....😮
I can tell you first hand an IBC tote seems like a decent water storage solution until you actually have to start using it. Just for drinking and cooking an IBC tote represents a week worth of water maximum, 3 days if you wash dishes and flush toilets, if it's a day that you want to do laundry or have a bath you can drain an entire tote in just 1 day.
I like the clean look of that.
Love the music!!!!!!
it all depends on the scenario and where you live. But yes most the time the safest thing to do is Bug In and Harden your home defenses, establish security, surveillance, and communication / neighborhood watch.. Drones and Dogs also help. Automatic LED solar security lights.
Yup 👍🏽 Bug in first, Bug out as a last resort!
What kind of monthly maintenance do you have to do for that water container? Like do you have to empty, sterilize, and refill it pretty often?
Do you oxygenate the water? I have an air pump going into my IBC of pure spring water 😁
Been thinking about getting that water container. But heard you don't want it clear. Cause with light entering bacteria grows dramatically faster. Your thoughts?
CDC says every American should have at minimum; food and water that will sustain you for 90 days. The average American has food and water for just one week.
Difficult in a small apartment....
Can you imagine martial law too.
God Bless you Bro and Take Care 👍🫡 Hungaran Prepper
Only reason to leave in an SHTF scenario is if you’re safer somewhere else than at your own home. Only if you’re in highly urbanized areas or struck by natural disaster is when it makes sense
Now I like your thinking, both apply.
I'm like you....but sometimes we don't get to choose, it's forced on us.
Stay safe my friend.
Calling it IASH (Im always staying home) sounds cooler
Do you preserve that water somehow or do you just store regular tapwater?
Regular tap water treated with bleach I give videos about it on my tiktok
Never get that in zombie apocalypse movies. Everybody always leaves everybody to stay at home as long as possible
think of it more as a shtf travel bag. its not meant for long term. just to get back home or evacuate to another safer location. point a to point b. even better, a truck bag that stays in there and a kit/totes at home that can be quickly loaded into a vehicle if you need to evacuate. in a panic it is easy to forget important items.
How long can you keep water like that? Do you have any I treat it over a certain amount of time to keep it fresh, or do you use it for a garden or something after so long and replace it?
