Could someone please give a realistic scenario where one would leave their home and head for the wilderness? I’m not seeing why I would be safer there.

Try a hiker trailer … all the stuff on it … an good to go… only carry this bags on body if you need to… 😜✌️🔥🍀

These are all designed as lifeboat rations, you shouldn't be doing strenuous activity except in extreme need. Most time would be relatively sedentary to preserve calories and hydration. In an inflatable liferaft excess movement could endanger stability.

Earned yourself a sub and a like. Good review, no filler, detailed, informative, multiple test subjects for reference. Well done. And sub 10mins.

Besides bacteria, need to check for viruses as well. It is assumed that if you chlorinate to kill bacteria, you will kill the viruses. However, filters need to be much more dense to take out viruses than bacteria. Suggest you use UV disinfection after your filter.

There are holding time maximums for fecal coliform, if not followed your results will be skewed.

I have been storing water in my empty plastic vinegar jugs. I use vinegar when doing laundry, cleaning the coffee maker, and as a cleaning agent for sinks. There are 100 uses for vinegar you know !

Can you store 55 gal barrels in a garage without air conditioning in Florida?

Thanks fellas. I appreciate this.

Someone tried to sell me a filter. He poured beer in it and it came out pure water. I told i would pee in it and if he would drink it i would buy it. He left.

Where is the toast, looks yummy.

Great job. This is how the test should be done using dirty disgusting water.

Never, ever, store water in any plastic container that contained sugar like juice, soda, or even milk. Sugar bonds with plastic at a molecular level and can never be washed out. Within a week, even days, bacteria and mold will form and begin leeching into the water thus making it nonpotable and eventually toxic. It's one thing to use an old bottle as an expeditionary container, it's just plain dumb to store water in them long-term.

bleach takes 72 to completely leave water. people make that mistake all the time. if you buy a gallon of bleach from the store.. in 12 months you can drink it because the bleach is gone leaving only the water that's why you can't store bleach for long term storage.. in tap water it takes 72 hours for all bleach to be gone.. anyone that has fish tanks knows you wait 72 hours for the chlorine to dissipate so the water is safe for fish. I lived on my 40 ft sailboat for over a decade and we bleach treated the potable water tanks once a month to keep mold away.. 1 cap of standard bleach for every 5 gallons of water and it was perfectly safe to drink the same day. so bleaching a container before filling it is great but leaving it to dry completely and all that jazz is not needed. clean your containers.. bleach if need be and wait 72 hours for ultimate safety before drinking.. thats all. if your worried about mold growth treat it every month or treat it 72 hours before you want to drink it to kill any little critters. if you want long term bleach storage buy POOL SHOCK powder crystals.. keep it dry and it lasts a lifetime.. learn how much water to mix with it for cleaning household surfaces and you can use it to clean drinking water too.. keep it dry I have tons of it stored for hopefully never .. cheap and easy to use

Thanks for the video! It was nice to listen to in the background while I was working around the house.

I keep three packs of stock cubes, two containers of cinnamon, two containers of nutmeg etc in my pantry. I use them in regular cooking all the time, but whenever I open a new one I buy a new one. This way I can always grab some spices and stock cubes to add to my calorie bricks in a pinch! :D

As someone who had several power outages and had several pipes burst multiple times throughout the year. I can confirm that you barely need any water to take a bath. Literally just get a bucket of some sort that can fit your size, fill it up either halfway or less than halfway of water. Very minimal soap, just a decent amount, to help the situation you could also use a sugar scrub to get excess dirt and skin off. Once you're done followed by a lotion, or if you don't have any Vaseline works. Use a cup to pour the water on you. You will still get clean. The amount of water y'all waste on a daily to take a shower is a problem. I do the same method with dishes and laundry on a daily. Even the bathtub you could fill up just barely. If you prefer warm or hot water boil it first. But I definitely prefer using bottled or gallon water unless you have no choice to boil some water then use it. And I always do the two bucket method for my dishes and clothes on a daily. Very minimal water in both buckets one has soap and vinegar the other one is rinsing water. Depending on how bad it is I might add very little water in a third bucket. You do not need that much water just to get things or yourself clean. I get if you wanted to take a bath and relax I mean you could still do that but you still don't need a lot of water. But to be honest you're just there to get clean. Also with my family I recommend 2 gallons per person per day one for drinking and one for other personal use. Situations like this are why I live frugally and do everything frugally. I save so much. I've also made my own laundry detergent. Putting baking soda in the oven making it into washing soda it is not digestible it is dangerous. Do not inhale it once you take it out of the oven. It is no longer edible, I add a whole cup of baking soda a whole cup of Epsom salt with essential oils in it, a little bit of sea salt, then I have a Fels-Naptha bar and a zote bar, i also have a washboard and a wringer and a two sink system that's portable. They also make portable baths that you can unfold and put water in. I also have several ways to preserve water. I have a water well, of course cases and jugs of water, some purification tabs, some water straws, different kinds of filters, some portable water jugs that are refillable etc. always have backup after backup. You never know when one thing will stop working or you don't have enough of

Ty!

Definitelt a good idea to rotate them out. The plastic of the gallon jugs in particular deteriorates in about 4 years. We thought there was a leak in our laundry room when it was simply that one of our gallon water jugs split open due to age. We bought it just before the lockdowns.

Don't forget about your pets. I have the 7, 30 and 55 gallon drums, Berkey and canning jars etc... If I'm not using the canning jars, they can be filled with water. No space lost. I do not buy the plastic bottles because they have drained out within a short period of time. Store your larger drums on a piece of plywood, not directly on concrete. The chemicals from the concrete will leach into the containers. God Bless!

wood barrels work if they can be disinfected, treated, and sealed. But they are more prone to leakage than plastic barrels. I have a friend who makes wooden barrels

ok

What a gorgeous little helper! Teach them early ❤

I purchased 7 gallon water containers from Amazon ($15), pulled the sofa away from the wall and store them behind the sofa. Also, a water bladder for the tub and purification tablets. I’m going for 2 gallons per person per day, minimum ❤

In an extreme SHTF situation, don't forget about the humble water heater. Many people forget about the 30-40 gallons of water storage. Great channel..🙂

Great video, succinct and appreciate you providing lots of options. I definitely learned something!

Prevent the oils from going RANCID! Dog food has oils in it, it WILL go rancid if stored in mylar or jars this way, ANY oily food will go rancid stored this way. It will keep fresh up to 3 years in original packaging stored in a cool, dark, dry, rodent free place.much better to buy a cook book for dogs and store extra, rice, meat and vegetables in your food storage.

Don,t forget when storing water on a cement floor, like a basement, place it on a wood base or 2x4’s. Chemicals from cement can leech into the water if the containers are directly on the cement floor. Great vid.

Also, one needs water to use in your garden or potted vegetables.

Do you rotate the bottled water you buy?

I’m feeling pretty prepared right now. I haven’t bathed or showered in almost 4 years, but I keep myself clean with a Wet towel and wet wipes. Believe me, I don’t stink. 😊

I just stumbled across your channel as I’m a prepper here in the UK. Also, I’m a fellow KZbinr too. Can I just say you’re an absolute natural in front of the camera. Your style + editing is top notch. Your channel is gonna take off. I just know it. New subscriber here for you.

How you gonna have a channel called pantry preparedness and you don’t even do pantry videos! No pantry tour nothing more than taking a name you heard by another creator

Those storing one gallon per person per day have never been through any type of emergency, but its better than nothing.

Thanks for this info! Plus I like you wall of wood panels, where did you purchase it?

Great presentation! However, grammatical language structure in the usage of "LIKE". There are many other expressions at your disposal.

Everybody’s situation is different, we live about 1/4 mile from a 5000+ acre mountain lake so I keep about a month of water handy and keep the rest in the lake. Jeez, I hope the lake water doesn’t expire 🤔😅

or you could go pirate style and store them in used wooden barrels (maybe from a winery)? sounds expensive though.

What is the test for ecoli and where can I get it?

Knowing it is the filters themselves that actually are important and not the container, my containers are food grade 5 gallon buckets. Therefore I only needed to buy filters. The only problem with filters is finding a company that sends items ordered to the exact address on the ordered form. Mine were sent to the wrong address. That creates a whole different problem

Nice

Mosquito larvae

Great analysis n review if these products good job ! Continued Success 😎

Can one combine Daytrex rations with Survival Tabs? That way one can get both micro and macro nutrients.

Where can you get a test kit for heavy metals and herbicides?

We’ve learned the hard way to usually not go cheap on canning supplies… Good experience to point out here for everyone!

We love our grape juice! Usually we put the jars in the oven and fill them hot. That helps the jars not break and sanitizes them. We also have the lids in boiling water. Then we don't worry about processing after because everything has been sanitized and they seal every time!

Distill it.

Omg so talented, grapes 🍇 wonderful. Yes ofcourse very rewarding indeed. Kiddo help is cutest. Livin the dream, Sir

really interesting to see the color vary so much from the same batch!
