31. Your hot water heater and toilet tanks are your emergency source of potable water - think over 50 gallons.

16 is wrong. Any crazy prepper would already be moved onto property that has fresh water source.

Well, now we of course count the water heater and toilet tank. That ain’t zackly news to people in tornado alley. We also drain the lines in to gallon jars as soon as the electric shuts off.

We also have 25 gallons of bottled water. About 3000 gallons in a swimming pool with 4000 gallon capacity, and 300 gallons in rain barrels which we use to water the garden. Have several water filtration systems and extra filters to use.

All in addition to our well. We have the ability to use a generator to run the pump, and if all else fails a rocket bucket for manual useage. Ten minutes away we have 20 acres and a creek.

A person can only live about 3 days with out water, so water is a biggee on our list of stuff to have on hand for emergencies.
