How To Store Drinking Water for Crisis | Emergency water storage

[@caborico0677]

Excellent video with one exception... I could have gone my entire life NOT seeing you drink out of a toilet with the filter. OK, it's the psychology of it. It'll take a year to get that image out of my head! But that aside. Thank you for taking the time to produce this video. It's like an insurance policy, you don't need it until you need it! Then you really need it! Cheers!

😂😂 Thanks for watching

[@truehope287]

That rack for the 55 gallons is amazing!!
I need it!

[@defendfreedom777]

Fortunately I am blessed with a spring that has never ran dry that filters down through limestone and sandstone that is pure and cold, back in the day before refrigerators came along you could store about anything you wanted in this water in containers without it going bad because the water is so cold year round.

I picked up a few collapsable rain barrels. They're $50 for a 132 gallon bin. They have spouts for easy access. They're a perfect option for us.

[@michaeldunwoody3629]

I like the Reliance Hydroller wheeled 8 gallon water container. They are tough, transportable, and well-designed and ventilated.

[@JasonHansonSpyBriefing]

Thats great, do you have a link to it. I'd love to check it out.

[@harryballzaky2674]

Storing water in plastic containers is safe as long as it is ALWAYS kept cool. When it gets warm (& HOT is even worse) chemicals leach out of the plastic & into your water. These chemicals can cause cancer & they lower testosterone in Men. Obviously, the threat of dying of thirst is much worse than the threat plastic chemicals in your water poses BUT, you should always do your very best to keep water stored in plastic cool.

[@debbiec6216]

Is a basement good enough ???? dark and dry. One question, do you put tablets in each containers ???
Thank you !!!

[@harryballzaky2674]

@@debbiec6216 I'm not an expert on the subject. I've just seen youtube videos about it. I'd think keeping it under 70 degrees would be good enough. From what I understand, you just don't want the water to get hot. A basement is probably good enough. I keep mine in the cellar, which is just a less fancy basement.
I don't use tablets in my water storage. I just bring it to a boil & let cool before drinking. I have 50 gallon drums on each downspout of my house. I only use that water for animals, garden or flushing toilets if the power goes out. Sometimes it gets Algee in it & I just dump a cup of bleach in it which clears it up completely.

[@MissCookie8260]

I agree. I had put away some gallons in storage. Something spilled on the outside of the container. The water tasted like the spill smelled. All of it was ruined. The nastiness seeped right through the plastic.

[@matthewcurry8703]

I live in Florida, and if I had to use a 55 gallon drum, I think the best thing you could do would be to bury it. They are about 4 feet tall, but trust me, you would be shocked how cool the soil is if your down 12 inches, let alone 4 ft…
Probably the best way to keep it even remotely cool in my opinion, unless you live on a cold water spring, but then you wouldn’t need to store the water in the first place now would you?

[@repentant]

Probably all of those aren’t as bad a death by dehydration

[@brucemartini2288]

FILTER, FILTER FILTER!!! then BOIL

[@garyhutzler6395]

Jason absolutely love your videos please keep up the good work thank you so much

[@songtharaomkar3011]

Went to the website and couldn't find anything about how to buy the filter.

[@melmoth2219]

Thank you for this clear and precise information.

[@JasonHansonSpyBriefing]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching as well!

[@fyrfyter81]

For someone with limited space I'd recommend using 2 liter bottles. You can fit them anywhere.

[@supremeflagship8965]

Can I use a 275 gallon IBC tote for tier 3 water storage?

[@confidenceondatrack76]

Any tips on what to do to prevent the water in the 55 gal barrel from freezing if the power goes out in the winter?

[@alancranford3398]

Thanks. Great information. I have reservations about the filters because I'm in your state and there are many alkali pools around here. I doubt that the filter will render the mineral-rich Great Salt Lake potable. I had the same reservations when I spent eight years in the Middle East. Then there were the months I spent on a warship and on islands in the Pacific where the only source of fresh water was a desalination plant.
It's almost as hard to find fuel in the desert--no trees!
Thirty days of water sounds like an excellent compromise and gives plenty of time to get more water. May I suggest either a water trailer or a wheelbarrow that can mount those 55-gallon drums securely enough for movement to water sources and back to point-of-use? The wheelbarrow or trailer will be just one more thing to drag along but attaching a trailer hitch to an existing trailer (might not be legal now but may be necessary when there's no law) and driving carefully can bring a sufficient supply along. More than two 55-gallon barrels on a trailer would be too much for most cars since with the trailer the total weight is already a half-ton, and that gets added to the existing trailer. Mounting 110 gallons of water in an existing trailer is going to load things down. A second trailer adds an option to bring along more water.
I liked that rig of hoses that used gravity to run water from several barrels to one point using gravity. Beats shifting 400-pound barrels. Those plastic barrels have some drawbacks but they're lighter than steel, rust-proof, less likely to be chemically contaminated, and very hard to dent.
Water is something taken for granted by us spoiled Americans--the other thing off our radar screen is air supplies. That's another video--how to keep from suffocating in shelters? Freeze-dried foods are worthless without a means to rehydrate. That usually means both fuel and water.

[@JasonHansonSpyBriefing]

Very true. We are truly blessed to have free flowing water in the US. Many people don't realize this until it's too late. BE PREPARED!

[@BoyX138]

What if you have no cool/dry place?

[@dianaporter3117]

thanks for sharing

[@Shay0777]

OK so my question is i had bought six-1 gallon conainers from Costco and soon after that my AC unit went out and we had no AC in the house for two weeks. We live in FL, so the house was about 91 degrees (the highest) for almost two weeks. Could that water be bad now?

[@AmongUs-vj1ew]

If ur brave enough to drink from those places I’m definitely getting those

[@ninjadiver8202]

Just as your family’s safety & security should be a multi-layered strategy, so is the mindset for shelter, water, food, medical emergency, etc. Plan for a marathon, not a sprint, test your plan now as if you’re cut off from power, running water & food sources! It’s a valuable, lifesaving experience. If we’re in a situation that requires us to live off the grid, because it’s gone or unavailable…you must plan on safely and securely obtaining water/food for bugging in (highly recommended) and on the go if your home, area are not safe any longer.

[@garidosam]

Thank you Sir!

[@JasonHansonSpyBriefing]

Thank you for watching too!

[@larrygarrison6515]

Jason, I appreciate your videos. Very informative and helpful. How long does bottled water stay safe to drink? I heard the plastic can leech into the water over time. Your thoughts please. Thanks

[@cindylong624]

some will have printed on the bottle

[@danielb1877]

You can purchase water tanks at Home Depot (or other sources). Hundreds of gallons in one tank for less money than the equivalent 55 gallon drums. Purchased early in the pandemic and wish I would have bought a few more tanks

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks

[@anthonyfabiano4827]

Ok here is the million dollar question regarding 55 gallon water storage containers! Beyond 5-7 years, could you continue to store that unchanged/replenished stored water and just filter it before use in an emergency situation? 😅
And three seconds later in the video, you answered the above question lol 😂

[@timo57890]

Best idea is to get a wellpoint or a borehole

[@NatureZone101]

Do those Aquatainers have an airtight seal?

[@debbiec6216]

Did you put tablets in your containers???
I like the bricks they are 3 lbs. (not counting the water) and they are easier to handle. And you can stack them together. Everybody situation differs!! You can bury 55-gallon drums in the ground (if needed) . Make sure the container is "Blue" any of them. It's time-consuming working with the drums, water, etc..
Any survival products.

[@jmartinez5888]

How often should I change out my water in a 55 gallon drum if I live in the New Mexico where it's dry and hot? I store them inside in a extra bedroom but I have a swamp cooler that doesn't really keep the house cool! THANK you for any advice you may assist me with! Just subscribe to your channel!

[@stacky512a]

use the container as a primary drinking source. I use the water from my drums to make coffee, ice tea, pet water and refilling 1 liter water bottles I drink. Then after a couple of weeks, get a 6-pack of gallon jugs from costco and top off the drum again. Keeps it rotated and fresh.

[@manchris05]

Hi. Great information. Just wondering. We have a swimming pool in our backyard. Could we drink the water from our swimming pool in an emergency? Would we have to use a filter? Thank you.

[@JasonHansonSpyBriefing]

Yes you would have to use the Survfilter. You can take a look in the description to learn more about it.

[@debbiec6216]

If you buy bottled water, make sure you sit it on a pallet , not directly on concrete. Remember the plastic bottle could leak because the plastic doesn't last forever . Please research this . The round containers ( Blue ) are one of the best , there's different sizes , it could be a blue square container 30 gallon.
Research different sizes and shapes that you are looking for , just remember they need to be blue.
Just research all this could take time . And see if you need drops or tablets.

[@LadyZewe]

I live in an upstairs apartment. I should buy more cases of water bottles.

[@ronaldbrown7559]

yuck! the toilet water with urine I'm gonna throw up 'gross' that would have to suck! I pray me or anyone I know won't have to go through 'that' but lord willing gonna have to get that filter.

[@JasonHansonSpyBriefing]

Exactly. We hope to never be in that position. Just have to be prepared incase it does happen. Rather be caught with it than caught without it.

[@skywongsuwan365]

You can drink the water out of the tank, I bleach my tank once a month

[@Rooloo-t4g]

Remember the most important prep! Repent! The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. May FATHER bless everyone. May FATHER have Mercy.

[@haze1554]

Not a McDonald's toilet!!! WHY?! 😱🤮😫

[@essequamvideri]

stay thirsty my friends

[@monicawarren2411]

Hahaha..that's pretty funny🎉

[@JasonHansonSpyBriefing]

Great stuff!

[@skywongsuwan365]

650 gallons will last one person 6 months for drinking only. No cooking, no bathing nothing but drinking.

[@Vet-zj5lq]

Over 3 gallons of water per day?🤔

[@eks1079]

I don’t know anyone that drinks over 3 gallons of water per day.

[@anthonylombardo4829]

nah 1 gallon is plenty

[@sethkube3607]

If I have the 5 gallon Culligan water jugs, is it ok for me too save water in them for a long time
