We always fill the tub with water when a hurricane approaches. It's fresh and it's easily available. It's something grandma taught us to do!
Growing up in a hurricane prone area, my mother always filled the bathtub with water. It is something I haven't thought about in decades since I no longer live on the coast. But it is probably a good idea in a variety of situations.
So you drink the water from the bathtub?
We do that too! Hi from Okinawa Japan
@@denismarquez2966 In our house, the bathtub water would be used to flush toilets. We already have plenty of bottled water from Sam's Club handy for drinking and/or emergencies that may happen though.
@@Sheryl777but you could run it through an Alexapure!
I wash all of my clothes before a hurricane or freeze is forecasted.
I keep up on laundry too. When a load is ready, toss it in. I don't let it pile up. Same with dishes. Could end up in the hospital or whatever so like everything clean as I go.
Absolutely #1, We just went through another hurricane here in Florida. Milton did more damage in my area than Helene. We live in the country and when we lose power, we lose water. We ALWAYS have water stored. Well, we lost power! Trees and power lines down all over the place. We were prepared!🙂
Glad you are safe. So scary! Many prayers for all
Tawra, thank you so much for all the wisdom you share. As a subscriber who just went throuh Hurricane Milton, I have never been this prepared in my life & its all thanks to your family sharing excellent ideas & stressing the importance of keeping a stockpile/water. Milton ended up affecting a lot of people in my area in a big way. So much so, a lot of stores are not open & theres a gasoline shortage like ive never experienced before. Gov. Ron Destanis brought in gas from out of state & gave it out FREE. The lines were LONG. Because Ive been taking your money saving tips seriously for a few years now, thank be to GOD we even had extra money to save gas for our generator/vehicles before the storm. I can't thank you enough. May the Lord keep blessing & taking care of you & your family. P.s I wish I would have seen the rubber drain stopper, I filled my tub before evacuating & when I returned home the water was all gone!! LOL!!!Ordering the rubber ones immediately! I did fill a big storage bin so I did have some extra water. Lesson learned.
Rain barrels are a good
Investment
That is what we bought this year.
I use my ice chest on wheels 😃 I use that water for watering plants. I also use the empty laundry soap jugs or cat litter jugs. Nice sturdy plastic for storing
Unfortunately there are a lot of places that don’t allow collecting rainwater. Which really annoys me because they don’t own rain. 😤
@@DCB938Our heavenly Father created water 💧 🙏
Your skies look very smoked filled one of my daughters lives in Wyoming. We are all praying for you guys.
Use paper plates,plastic
Knief, fook,spoon. Save
That water
👍
It amazes me on things like storing up water isn’t just common sense. Now days people just need to much hand holding!
Surely there’s not many who don’t know this info.
No there are a lot of folks who just don't get it.
Hi Tawra, your prep advice is amazing. I have been watching your program since January of this year and I greatly appreciate the wonderful and insightful advice you share. I am Ukrainian and grew up in the Soviet Union, which was a terrible and difficult time; there was no food and no amenities. It may be strange to hear, but I grew up in such conditions. My lovely parents worked so hard and had multiple jobs to provide food and pay the bills. We had to economize on everything. Again, all of your tips are truly applicable to real life. I apologize if I come across as rude, but a large portion of the population is not aware of how to survive, which is very sad. It’s important to switch on the “safety button” in our minds to think more critically. Thank you for your hard work, and please continue to educate us with your survival tips.
If you have cats, and buy cat litter in jugs, when they're empty fill them up with water. You use the water to flush your toilets, wash out clothing like undergarments, and socks, water vegetable gardens,etc.
I save big vinegar containers for that. I wash my clothes in white vinegar and save the containers.
I use the cat litter and Laundry soap jugs when they are empty. Good sturdy plastic 👍
In our family we have always filled bathtubs. Good tip.
Tawra we need an update, are you all safe? Praying for you all every day. ❤🇮🇪🙏
I grew up in a small home in Florida. When a hurricane was forecast, we did up all the laundry and washed all the dishes and filled EVERYTHING with water. We used to giggle about how we could barely walk thru the house because of all of the containers of water sitting everywhere. I remember once we were 14 days with no power but we still had containers of water left when the power came back on.
We were out of water once when I was a kid. Papa knew where a spring was used by the community. We had to get water pail by pail to fill up a barrel. 3 in all.
In a stressful situation being prepared really helps a lot.
Waterbob is a good way to save water in tub
Exactly my tub doesn't hold water as it should water bob best to have on hand
What’s waterbob?
@@Judy-c3dA big plastic bag that fits in a tub for water.
I have a water bob for both of our tubs.
I got one from Amazon. Called a tub bladder. Keeps water clean!
I am in an area that has earthquakes and fires. I always keep water on hand.
Me too! I fill laundry soap jugs and store em...it's good plastic but yes food, cash, pet food 👍
Definitely. When we were out in the country it was 2nd nature, didn't even think about it. We drew water the minute anything was likely to happen. Especially ice storms.
When I thought I was going to wear a corset, I bought a bunch of plain white tees to wear under it. You could easily wear under shirts to protect your shirts and bras from your body. And don't be trying to wash your hair! Brush it, braid it and put it up. On storing water, I always keep my kitty litter buckets (intending to plant peppers in them) and I could fill those up.
Soap jugs too!
Lol when I was a kid when we had to go when on a trip. My dad would pull over and we would squat beside an open car door so nobody could see us.Know its against the law😂
LOL Kathy yes we did that too and just this past week I had to do it again at 73 yrs old. I was on a trip and my car broke down and I was stranded awhile in no mans land - knew I couldn't hold it until help came so opened car doors and there you go. Relief. LOL
Keep an old sheet in car to cover up outside the car, no one will see 😊
Glad you guys are still at home, and apparently safe.
We keep our above ground pool filled and sanitized and covered all year, for toilet flushing or even bathing if it were needed in an emergency. For filling your tub, buy a WaterBob reusable vessel that holds enough water to top up a tub, but cleaner…you place it in your tub, fill and store for a long time. Cleaner and less sketchy than water directly in the yucky tub.
Some in NC probably did do it, it just got washed away.
Thanks for sharing this. So important.
Bathtub bob
Inflatable pools
Buckets
Bleach and purification system
Rain barrels
Great ideas,
Baby wipes are great for staying clean without water.
Dollar Tree sells Yardley Disposable Washcloths. 18 per pack for $1.25.
Everytime we empty any containers we fill them with water for emergencies.
We also fill our empty laundry soap jugs & dish soap containers with water to use for dishes & cleaning.
*Any soap containers I Don't rinse out.
Key tip that got me started *If you're feeling overwhelmed, breath, think about if you lose power for 2 weeks what would you and your family require... the first 48 hours are the hardest, so if you only have a two day plan, it gives you time to collect your thoughts, feelings and move forward with a plan without worrying about feeding and sheltering your family... water, food, shelter and any special needs on hand will get you started without worrying on the small stuff. I started with $5 a week until I started to figure things out... it adds up so fast, you'll suprise yourself... I've really learned a lot thanks to channels like this... I am grateful and appreciative always...😊
I live off the grid! So I have no worries about power. Solar runs everything for me..
We’ve always filled the tub. We get our power outages mainly in blizzards or ice storms.
I don't know if it fits others' situations, there is a product that is a water storage bladder / bag that's designed to fit into your tube and be filled for emergency storage. There's probably other ways of supporting and protecting these bags to multiplex several together. Also, think of food grade IBC Totes stored in a basement or a garage.
They make a water Bob. Its a bathtub bladder that comes with a pump. I've had it for years, it's a great prepp.
I knew that cat litter I bought would be useful for something.
We talk about it all the time in Florida before every hurricane. 🤷🏻♀️ we always fill the tubs and every waterbottle. I thought everyone did that.
Please be aware that in some countries, due to different formulations or chemicals in bleach it may not be suitable to sterilize drinking water (I am in Australia and it is a big no-no here)
We are getting a huge thunderstorm right as I'm watching your video so I paused the video to go fill a bunch of containers of water I do have some water storage and bleach a few aqua tabs and a sawyer too.
What’s a sawyer?
@@Judy-c3d It's a portable water filter
We also fill washing machine.
In Calgary, a city of 1.3 million, this year we twice had major water restrictions for weeks at a time. A feeder main burst and until repairs were finished we were given a pass to appear in public with greasy hair and stinky clothes. I grew up without running water, so it was pretty easy to adjust, while maintaining hygiene. We bundled our flushes, threw grey water on the gardens and did laundry infrequently with only full loads. Didn’t wash my bed sheets for a month. Didn’t wash my floors. Collected rain water in barrels and bins. Some people got water from the river for their gardens…the city set up stations for that. We had bottled water on hand leftover from camping, but now I have a good supply on hand at all times.
Great tips as always.
Great ideas and advice
Buy a WaterBOB, one for each bathtub!
Absolutely. I just got a 100 gallon one for bath tube. 👍🏽. I also fill my washer with water and my super large pots with tops on them also. Since I live in the countryside I have three 50 barrels filled with water. Thanks bringing up this subject. 👌🏽
Just looked up waterbob. What a good idea!
Top load washing machine fill with water
Good idea!!
Hello from Deadwood!! Great advice! ❤
A saying my aunt always says is. “If it’s yellow, let it mellow, if it’s brown flush it down .”
I live in SE Ohio where we are experiencing a D4 drought emergency. My heart BROKE when you poured the older water down the drain to fill the containers with fresher water. The older water could have been poured into the tub for toilet flushing. Also pouring older stale water from one container to another, back and forth, helps reoxygenate it so it tastes better. Powered drink mixes help with the taste too.
Buy a battery operated hand held fluid transfer pump. They work great for refilling water from ponds,rivers to swallow to dip buckets in
It might be a good idea to have a notebook of things to do when you hear of a storm is on the way. Also include what to do after a storm has hit.
Warsh...i love it!...great great tips.
We have good well water but it will leave some scale on the tub if left for awhile so I line it with precut plastic sheeting to avoid the hard cleanup.
Well, you have more winter and summer shirts than I do! Plus more pairs of pants! I only have 3 pairs of pants, 3 pairs of shorts, one pair of each are for good. I guess it's true, I don't like clothes shopping, lol! To each their own!
We have a well. Hubby installed generator that runs off propane. Big pig in yard for furnace and stove. I fill the tub for flushing. Lots of clean drinking water in stash. We do have a lot of clothes. Every time our kids take a trip they get us a fancy t shirt. As they wear out I make them into rags. I do laundry as I get full loads only. My hubby gets really filthy doing gardening, car repairs and woodworking hobby. His are a challenge to get clean! We have been without power for a few days, up to a few weeks with hurricanes and the rare blizzard hitting NC. Learn to appreciate heat after a few freezing days. Little Coleman camp stove was a big help for heating food.
It's a southern thang!…I buy 2/40ct of bottle water from Walmart and have 5/5gal 3/3gal Alhambra size bottles, since 2022’. I rotate them ever month and write the expiration date on top and add to by calendar. Great toilet tips, I did (bags) toilet when I was without a toilet over the 4th of July weekend in 2012.
I hear ya. My niece washes her sheets everyday. CRAZY
Save laundry, don't wear
Underware,we did that
In Vietnam
I just started wearing underwear again after 4 years of no underwear. After 3 months with underwear, I prefer the underwear.
I couldn’t get from my third floor apartment outside to do bladder business fast enough
Great advice Tawra. We live in a fire prone area. Melbourne Australia
We have a water bob that goes in the bath, we also now have 4x 25litre water containers. We use old bold washing bottles filled with water for the toilets. We have purification tablets and weak bleach. Live in uk.
Good video.😊
Turn the overflow over and get another 2 to 3 inches of water in your tub.
Even the van dwellers that I watch on you tube have more than 4 sets of underwear and socks
Our dehumidifiers have water to empty frequently.
Fill your washing machine. Our family has done this for generations.
Tawra, I’m reminded of some very old toilet advice:
If it’s yellow, let it mellow. If it’s brown, flush it down. 💩
Great video. Thank you dear one
The hot water heater is full of water. We have three toilets with a holding tank on the back. We have three sinks in each bathroom. We have a kitchen sink…
The reason the people weren't prepared like this for Helene is because it hadn't happened before in their lifetimes. And it probably won't happen again in NC in their lifetime. A hurricane that far inland is crazy.
Would check out aquapod kit for tub … holds 65gal.
So never bathe and take bomb baths that your sink but use your tub as a cistern for water storage?
I only do laundry every other week for the 2 of us.
but fill the washer with water
I have vol 1 and 2
Every time i finish a laundry soap jug.. I FILL IT WITH TAP WATER... FOR TOILET USE ETC... ALSO USE THE BIG JUGS FROM CAT LITTER. DO NOT USE FOR DRINKING 👍
Water bob?
I don't have laundry to do this week. I'm all caught up. Right now, I'm down to 4 or 5 pairs of underwear. I ruin mine during that time of the month. I should look into per*** underwear.
Fill your washing machine
Tawra i only wished i had underwear ive been in depends for over 20 years
save your vinegar jugs
I don't own underwear....I don't wear any...saves a ton of money and water LOL.....
Seriously though.......Why wouldn't you buy food from the Amish??? I think even though they don't have all the "amenities" we have in the house they still wash their hands and have better hygene practices than some others.
fill washing machine also
Fill the washing machine!
I have a front loader!
Weather is controlled . Buy a bob. Underware???
🤍
Water is important? Are you sure? Sounds fishy to me.
TOM!!! Really, what are you thinking?
Or is it just your quirky sense of humour🤣😂🤡🐸
Great advice!
Thankyou.
With summer coming on in bush-fire prone Australia, this is excellent advice.
Gotta get ready..be prepared
Water is precious!
💕🙏🏾🇦🇺🦘👏🏽
Ty.😊
Fantastic advice!
