Just a note from someone who went through a no water experience. A gallon of water per day for two people.... JUST FOR HAND WASHING ALONE. For real. It was shocking. Never mind boiling a pot of pasta or bathing the baby. LOAD up on water friends!!! Also disinfecting wipes and unscented baby wipes will be your friends in a power outage. Second to my oil lamp, those are the next thing I bring out in an outage, honestly, I live in a place where outages happen everytime the wind blows.
