My contribution for this week is that I found some 275 gallon food grade plastic totes for sale on craigslist. $100 if picked up $125 delived. This would give you a month and half to two months of water for a family of four.

Preppers’ PING!

[Veggie Todd]

A weekly prepper thread? Great idea!

[MrB]

Did you see the vid of the guy that used these for rainwater capture?

Good idea —

At the very least, it’ll be a place for the scoffers and naysayers to hang out... ;)

We're also going to try to replace some of our older servers and failing equipment this year so we're going to add a little extra to our FReepathon goals. John is estimating ten to fifteen thousand to do this and I'd like to get it all in place and working before the election cycle is fully heated up, so we'll try to bring in a little more now if we can and the rest next quarter.

Thanks. Please add me to your list of Preppers.

Let me give a word to those living in cities or close to them:

If you can’t leave now, at least try to find a place away, far away, from the fan, before the stuff hits it. It’s gonna be UGLY....

Some food grade plastics are vulnerable to UV, so I'd check the specs and keep them covered or inside.

Excellent Idea - looking forward to these threads!

BTTT

Great idea-those containers are very common out here where I live-nearly all of us have at least one in case our wells get too low in dry years (like the last one). They’re used for rain capture, and/or storing water purchased from other sources.

Nice! That beats my 55 gallon food grade plastic barrels.

[Mortrey]

Fantastic!

A story, since it's Friday (and some silliness is indicated)... I was talking with my brother about preparedness, and his big concern was safe water.

I had to pull him short. We both live near large bodies of fresh water, and we both grew up working in the family construction company THAT BUILDS WATER TREATMENT PLANTS!

His reply was "Oh.. yeah." And then after thinking about it for a bit said he probably had enough equipment to process a few thousand gallons a day out in his scrap pile (he wound up owning a construction company). Duh.

Moral of the story is look around and THINK.

Those also might be helpful for storing distilled beverages! ;p

[libertarian27]

If we are already on the prepper ping list do we need to request being on this weekly thread too or are we good to go?

(If we need to request being on this weekly ping- I request [holding up my hand])

[Nea Wood]

Please add me to the prepper ping list, thanks!

[outofsalt]

Just in case you thought the prepper list was a tankless task!
Many Tanks!
If any one has a link other than CL, I’d like to find one of these (or similar).

Nice! Thanks for doing this weekly prepper thread.
