Poor Mans Water Storage

See Steve at Safe Arms Review for a better video. This is just my take on it. I'm sure I left out a lot of details as I'm not really good at making video's. I do have other sources of stored water in the house, but this is the portable version and easiest for most people to do.

Why not just buy 365 brand at whole foods, 99 cents, and sealed? Seems cheaper to not buy the hi c and just get water.

@MandyVin17 The kids like the Punch.

if you use 55 gallon poly drums under ground do yo see any problems with this?

[TacticalPhotog]

@lp000028 - I couldn't tell you. Way beyond my knowledge pool.

I don't get way you add the bleach. All the videos talk about adding bleach. Tap water has bleach in it already, so why add more?

Thanks

@nateL1914 - City water in itself depending on where you live does have bleach and other chemicals to keep it pure. That said, I can store water without bleaching it, but would definitely bleach it before use, if it was stored in used containers. The better the container the better the storage.

i use the drink bottles after we drink them, just add water. this water will be used for cleaning stuff, pots dishes, not to mention your butt. appocoliptic biday( i know, spelling)

drinking water will come from a different source.

go to a milk dairy and buy empty gallon jugs for $0.25 to $0.33 each

[onerugrat]

how many drop does that come out to per gallon?

[ronpaulsupporter1]

Ton of sugar in that punch??

I have been doing the same thing - but I remove the labels so the bottles are clear and use a Ultraviolet light on the bottles every so often to disinfect them so I don't have to dump the water. Prior to the uv - I was dumping them in the washing machine and refilling. After Fukishima nuclear disaster - I prefer my old water without any radioactive contamination.

@TacticalPhotog See: "Food Matters" and "Food, Inc". Many products slowly make you sick by design.

Peace.

I just started storing water for myself, 20oz Gatorade plastic bottles.

I clean them out with hot water, fill with filtered tap water with no additives.

I also have 2, 55gal blue barrels with 1/4 cup bleach each.

(I'm just getting started)

[ff621]

you can buy a 55 Gal drum for $15-20.

"it takes a while to get these, about 1 or 2 a week." that does not sound like it would take a while at all. drink more water, we are made mostly of water so it certainly will not hurt you.
