Thirsty Anyone?

Jeff and I finally decided to get going on our food/water storage. We've have realized that it's kind of a trial and error thing. For instance, we recycled a lot of Gatorade bottles and filled them up with water first. Then we figured that wasn't the best approach because our entire fridge was full of 1/2 liter bottles and there was no room left for other fridge necessities...(you know, like food). Plus we only had about 3 gallons of water in total. So we got THIS...


...HUGE 55 Gallon Monster-sized water drum from the Pepsi Company. When we got it, there was still about 4 cups of pepsi rolling around in the bottom of the barrel, so we rinsed it out in the bathtub (I wish we'd gotten pictures of that) and started filling it. We finally got into a groove where we would each bring one pitcher to the barrel and dump it in while the other pitcher was filling with water. Jeff had the bathroom sink and I had the kitchen sink. After an hour and a half of walking back and forth, the barrel was filled, weighing over 400 lbs. And of course, a huge water fight broke out between the two of us close to the end. So, if you ever are without water, come on over! Petty sure we have enough for you and your posterity down to the 3rd generation.
