Ive never tried to store water. Its too heavy to move, its too bulky for space. Im thinking about dehydrating some to address that. Really though, the water always makes me laugh, youre not going get enough on hand for any long term. I know how to dig a well, i know who has a well, i have sufficent ammunition should they not be interested in a barter, i know how to collect water, i know how to distill water, i know how to build multi stage filtration and i know my neighbors are walking bags of water. I would like to learn how to make a reverse osmosis filter. Municiple water supplies are an achilles heel. Anybody who can pump water at above 25 pounds can contaminate everything down the line from whichever spigot they hook up to. We have a flavoring plant at our water company, thats where id toss the bodies, low pressure tanks. My last resort bug out is rice. I keep 20lbs per person in my house sealed in buckets. That and a shit ton of salt. Its almost pointless in city limits to maintain an armageddon level stash. After 2 weeks the unprepared will be out of resources and youll spend more time shooting them than sleeping. People who think toilet paper and water are survival goods will make a fine dinner at some point for someone.
