Where can one get sodium hypoclorite and what is the raito to mix with water for making bleach?

Could anyone provide this info?

Actually, we have plans to catch and purify rain water and we’re getting a hand pump for our well.

“that’s one gallon per person per day for bare minimum; for a family of four that’s 28 gallon jugs just for one week”

(1) if you have independent power generation for refrigeration/freezer (and other things as well) there are some liquids you can keep frozen/refrigerated that can be counted in your “one gallon per person per day” - such as: milk & juices

(2) many pre-bottled (in glass) drinks, with a long shelf-life, also can be counted in that “one gallon per person per day” - like the “Snapple” teas for example

(3) and if I were using 5 gallon glass jugs - like the old “Poland Springs” water jugs, that would be 5.6 5-gallon jugs for “one week”, but then again, given (1) & (2), they would actually serve for longer than one week; and if one had ten or 20 of such 5 gallon jugs - much longer

“What happens when four million rednecks can’t flush?”

I guess, you have a “honey pot” factory - if you live in a place like Korea, or your neighborhood has a lot of outdoor “latrines”.
