I HAD SOME OF THOSE 5 GAL HEAVY MILL, BUT THEY SPRANG LEAKS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. IF ONE HAS NON FOOD GRADE 5 GAL BUCKETS WITH LIDS, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE IF YOU HAVE A BERKEY WATER FILTER TO RUN IT THROUGH, ANY? THANKS
Guys, HERE is The Savior HalleluYAH translates “Praise ye YaH” YaH is The Heavenly Father YaH arrives via the TENT OF MEETING YaH was Who they Crucified for our sins ** NO FEMALE INVOLVED WHATSOEVER ** - Hebrew Book of Isaiah Isaiah 42:8 "I am YaH; that is my Name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols. Isaiah 43:11 I, I am YAH, and there is no other Savior but Me. Isaiah 45:5 I am YaH, and there is none else.
Great vid. We’ve canned water in Ball canning jars. Set up as if to water bath can. Sterilize jars, pour hot boiling water into hot jars, put lid and ring on jars, drop into canner and allow to boil at 180 to 210 degrees for about 15 minutes, take out and allow to cool and place in a cool dry dark place. They are sanitized and will last a very long time if stored correctly.
@@part-timeprep5932… Yep. Proper storage, away from sunlight or heat. Perhaps in a basement cabinet. It will last forever. The canning jars are great because they are multiuse. Check out…RoseRed Homestead on U Tube. That is where I got the idea. She has a playlist which includes canning H2O.

Adam, I've been on a water conservation kick here in the current Texas drought. I have 3 dogs and learned I throw out 2-3 gallons of water every three days just dumping dirty water and quick rinses. That doesn't even include actual washing. I was throwing 20+ gallons of water down the drain just for pets every single month. 😱 Water is so precious, I'm embarrassed that I haven't worked harder to conserve it.
I spent a couple of years in the middle east. Many times I ended up on a small FOB that did not get a water delivery for 3 or 4 days at a time. Everyone used baby wipes to bathe with at night and I can tell you they work great. It only takes 2 or 3 to do your entire body and then focus on the important parts last. You can even clean your hair with them. Drinking water wasn't a problem there as we had pallets of bottled water everywhere. We used that for teeth brushing as well as drinking.
Smart ideas! I live in North Texas and while we were having the ice storm I used several of the ideas you mentioned. I especially liked the water heater suggestion. Because when the water in my water heater froze, it literally busted the floor supports and fell down about a foot. Thankfully I had previously turned off the water to the house and was in survival mode, but it was -8° that day and as you know, things in Texas just aren't built to withstand that kind of low temperature. I plan on adding insulation and additional support to that tank in hopes that what I experienced then doesn't happen again. But inside my house, it was so cold (no power off and on), that the top of my Dogs water dish froze. I then took apart a small $10.00 crock pot that I had picked up at Walmart and used the ceramic bowl from that to put their water in and it worked great for that. It was a tough time, I had to go into extreme survival mode and basically camp out in my house but I got thru it. Thank God for the training I have received as well as the emergency supplies and stuff I had around to use. And bottled water, water in buckets ECT helped me get thru those bitterest of days. Let's hope we don't have to deal with that again in our lifetime. Can you imagine what our ancestors went thru with just one or two layers of boards for the exterior of their homes and newspaper on the inner walls to help keep our the breeze and bugs?!? Bless their hearts. Yes, they all had fireplaces or wood burning stoves that helped but with that in mind they also had outhouses to go out to, to use the bathroom. When we had the ice storm after everything froze up using the toilet (even with buckets of water to help flush) it was cold in the bathroom with no heat or power. And after it got down lower where the pipes were frozen, using the water from the buckets weren't feasible, so I had to line the toilet with trash bags and use the bathroom in there, while covering the waste with kitty litter. I also had a 5 gallon bucket set aside to place the trash bags inside of and close the lid. I also used alot of antibacterial wipes, baby wipes and wet paper towels to clean things with, and placed them all in gallon size ziplock bags to help keep germs and smells at bay. What I would suggest for folks is to get a small crock pot (it can be used to warm water when you have power), as well as a medium and large crock pot to use for cooking or warming up either foods or water or both. People don't realize how much just a warm cup of cocoa or soup does for the soul and mind when things are bitterly cold. It helps more than you can realize. Thanks for the reminders.... hopefully people will take your suggestions at heart and will use some of them to get thru the bad times. Stay safe out there neighbor.
A lot of people need to know more about in different areas of different things that happens and how they survive and to survive like the homeless like the Amish like the mountain men a lot of people don't understand exactly what it's going to be like when it says no electricity nothing will work no law enforcement nothing
Extremely important for folks up north especially. Sawyer and many others say never let it freeze with water in it. It will destroy the media and allow passage of water that bypasses the filtration. You can seriously hurt yourself or make real sick with the false sense of security. There is no way to know for sure either, so PROTECT FROM COLD at all costs and always toss a filter unit that has been frozen.
I really appreciate the calm delivery of this message. Some prepper channels think we are already in the disaster, and I feel like they've never seen a disaster before? Anyhoo, we were super lucky in The Big Freeze of 2021 here in Texas, but near the end they told us to stop dripping our faucets because they couldn't pump water into the towers fast enough. 😱 We'd been prepping since Harvey then stepped it up at the beginning of Covid, so being water-ready was a load off our minds. Thanks for this great video!
P.S. You're right that water collection doesn't have to be perfect. I don't have gutters but collect lots of rain water in big, black trash cans from the drip off my flashing over the back door. I've also seen a suggestion on another channel to rinse & fill up old laundry detergent bottles for things like hand washing.
I saw the little notification that said "includes paid promotion" and I thought to myself as I was watching even your sponsored content is so original, informative and you hit on so many out-of-the-box ideas I would gladly watch an hour-long infomercial if you made one. I always find useful nuggets of information I take away that it makes me think that just having an open mind, practicing brainstorming and creativity has got to be one of the most valuable skills to adapt and overcome. Keep up the good work brother!
Freaking awesome advice about hanging out towels to soak up rainwater. Would never have thought o that. Love yr videos. keep up the good work. Would love to order some of those plastic water bags but they wont ship to us here in OZ unfortunately. Cheers from Melbourne, Australia.
Such good ideas! Ways to collect water that I hadn't even thought about that were sensible. The usage of towels for collecting water really clever and smart.
Collecting water is a must. I normally have 300 ltrs of clean drinking water stored in bottles and Black plastic Jerry Cans, I have my water butts to collect water outside 4 x 250 ltrs and also if I have time in an emergency and the water is still running I have a WaterBob to store water in the bath. A totally sealed unit that keeps insects, dust, etc out of the water. Along with ways to clean the water should it be needed.
Just ordered water storage from company you mentioned. Coupon code worked. I had been looking for collapsible personal sized water bottles. This video was timely! Happy they are made in US.
Great video JR and loved the ref to the Road. Agreed that they tried to capture that realism upon SHTF. Seconds definitely count for all activities in security, medical, and the preservation of stores. Cheers!
Great info. thanks. before hurricane here in Eastern NC we fill pitchers lg. pots. with water even though we have wells. if we loose power we loose pumps. we have generators but it would take time to set up.
Wow!!! Thanks for this video. These guys are reasonably priced too. Awesome sauce!! Keep up the great Work!! God Bless you and yours kind Sir!! WELL DONE 🫂🙏🏽❤️
Please have a contest, with rookie preppers telling 1 thing they did this week and submitting it to you. Smaller the prep the better. (Crash diets don't work, it's the slow and steady that win) I am willing to supply the prize to the winner. Honor system for defining "rookie prepper" Other contest we could have are learning quick release knots for conserving cordage. Never cut your cordage unless absolutely necessary. Contest to keep gas tank above half for 2 weeks (this will put them in a prepper mindset) finding alternative routes home ect. Contest for frugal living. (Cooking 2 foods in 1 pan in a creative way for when fuel a scarcity) (shortest route to run errands not necessarily the order of priority for when fuel is a scarcity) honor system that they actually did what they say. I feel this could revolutionize the prepper movement. I hope you will consider my thoughts here. I plan to send this to other preppers too. Love your content keep it coming!
Leading up to Katrina we bleached out our 2 bathtubs and filled them up with extra water,as soon as we could we jumped our well off our generator,, after a few days of taking our baths in the pond, we figured out to fill our outside water hose and lay it in the sun, our 400 ft of those would heat up two baths
Keeping a few flattened cardboard boxes and tape for a temporary place to store what you take out of the buckets for water. Stack them up and not worry about finding a place to put the food. God bless you all.
The best investment I have a made was to get a standby generator. I realize that if I don’t have a fuel later on takes to run that I have back up plans. Thank you for all your information
Thx for the vid and water storage info. Although I have a gutter catchment system, you can never have enough potable water storage. I checked out Wolverine, and they seem a solid choice. Made in USA and veteran owned. Thx for the code... and along with the free shipping, I got a great deal on 3 of them. I'll let you know how they work out. Cheers 😎🦅🇺🇸
I was without water (one day) a couple years ago. For washing myself, cooking (mostly coffee :)) and some other needings, I used 10 liters of water this day. Made me think. The next time I knew how to handle this. Greetings.
How much does the bottle hold? I believe the standard is a gallon per person per day. I'm not sure why anyone would intentionally short their preps, though, even if they currently consume less. You could be sick and need more. The whole point is to have adequate supplies in a dire situation. Good luck! 😃
I have a above ground pool Can you tell me if you can drink that water with a life straw. Or is it better to boil the water then drink it through the straw.
This makes me think of those selfish fools who are oblivious to what's going on, they have 45 minute showers twice a day etc..yes there are really fools doing this. When shtf they will definitely make it!
SOYLENT GREEN IS HERE WHETHER YOU WANT TO BELIEVE IT OR NOT. PRAY OVER YOUR FOOD AND DRINKS AND ASK GOD TO BLESS, PURIFY AND SANCTIFY YOUR FOOD AND DRINKS BEFORE YOU CONSUME THEM. GOD BLESS!!!
But, you may well be here for all manner of natural or manmade disasters, and the Bible teaches us to prepare for those. Look at Joseph and Noah, for example. The Bible also tells us to consider the ways of the ant and be wise.
