How to Store 8 Tons of Water in a Little Box
Water Filters!!!
Many of you may have a water filter in your camping box that will filter up to 300 gallons of water. All you need is a creek or a rain storm and you have 2500 pounds of water in an 8 oz box.
Now some perspective… we store food and water primarily to protect our family against things like job loss, or short term food shortages. If I was out of a job for 6 months, I may be using my food storage, but probably not heading down to the Mill creek every morning for water to filter.
Water filters would come into play during a much more serious disaster. A few years ago we ran into a deal on the internet to by a used British Berkefeld high capacity water filter. These filters are used by the Red Cross in ventures around the world and use gravity to filter over 2000 gallons or water…that is over 8 tons of water.
Though I don’t recommend every family having such a filter, it is something to think about as a group. Organizing water solutions at a neighborhood level is wisdom.
