Prep of the Week - Water Preparedness

Water... the elixir of life.  Without water, there are no living things. Including us.  In fact, water is so important, that we can go weeks without food, but without water, we would perish and die of dehydration within a mere few days.  That's why we're dedicating this week's 'Prep of the week,' to 'water.'

Water Prep Week 1 - 1 gallon, per person, per day for at least 3 days.

Anyone who's ever lived in 'hurricane country,' can tell you that the standard amount of water you should have on hand is:

1 gallon of water, per person, per day, for at least 3 days.

So, if there are 5 people in your family, you'll need 15 gallons of water stashed.

You can buy 1 gallon bottles of water at just about any grocery store or Wal Mart for around $0.99 each.



If you have the room for storing, you could simply purchase the standby hard plastic water jugs.  Of course, there are all kinds of ways to find or get these hard plastic 5 gallon jugs for free, but you'll most likely need caps for them if you do.  These JVIGUE Non Spill Cap Anti Splash Bottle Caps are only 13.99 for a pack of 20,

If you don't need that many you can get a pack of 10 for just $10.99.




 You can also purchase these 20 liter Vanie 20L Water Container, Portable Collapsible Water Storage Container from Amazon.  At a price of only $10.99, with free shipping, if you don't have a lot of space to 'store' gallons upon gallons of water, if this fits your budget, it's a smart solution, because the containers are  'collapsible' so you only need to fill them when you are facing a possible threat.
