    I'm afraid we'd only last a week or two with drinking water. Much less with bathing and potential cooking.

    I keep filling up 1 gallon jugs. Running out of room to store them.
    Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
    Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
    That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.

    I've got like 35+ 2 liter bottles full of water. I've got a good 20 more empty ones I need to store though. Thank goodness for the crawl space.

    If you have the space a beer keg is a great way to store 15 gallons of water the center spear part is easy to remove and the container is stainless so clean up is super easy as well. I have a couple filled and have one of the cheap hand pumps to extract the watery goodness.

    I just saw a guy drop TWO full size kegs in the dumpster the other day. I thought about grabbing them, but couldn't convince myself that they'd serve a purpose. I should have grabbed them, then asked. Heck, I should have asked him what was in them.

    I have a creek 30 yards from my front door, and a large pond/small lake 200 yards away. Ain't the cleanest but that's what the pot and blowtorch are for.

    And if anyone decides to use kegs to store I can help them with getting the spear out and also throughly clean the beer stank

    Good idea on using the shells as water storage! I have a couple I'm going to fill up when I get home.
