Remember to look for the water heater in any building you gain entry to.

And for $6.42 on Amazon.com, why not?

Word of friendly advice if this is your site. Monetize your links like this by creating an Amazon seller's account. I bet a lot of people are hitting that link now and buying it and you could be earning off every purchase simply by tweaking your link.

I don’t think you want to be doing that on my property.

FWIW, a properly sized 8 point socket or (probably) 12 point socket will work just fine.

Yeah, you could probably use the pliers on a Leatherman or Gerber tool, but why mess with all that?

The main reason I can think of is because I already own one and carry it daily.

They may even be available from your local building supply store; I haven't checked.

Try a plumbing specialty store, and ask for a *four-way.*

Great post, and in my consulting engineering days, I specified a zillion hose bibbs like that on offices, schools, industrial buildings, hotels, etc. Pretty standard for commercial work.

There's no streams or lakes or ponds nearby.

Find one. Your very life depends on it.

How did we (at least I) miss knowing about that avenue to water by finding that on a building and knowing about a sillcock key?

I thought I knew everything in the whole wide world, and find I didn't know that. Darn, there may be something else in the world I don't know. I am really ticked off that has never come up on any forum anywhere or from any reading I have done.

What a marvelous thing to know. I must put that on Survival Podcast where I write. That is so easy to have an emergency water source if you are caught in a town or city and have to get home.

Someone said don't steal his water. I don't think anyone would do that on purpose when there wasn't an emergency (I haven't heard of that - does it happen?) but if “some” water meant having enough water to get home, I wouldn't care if someone did that if it was my water in a big building. We are talking about a commercial building and enough water to get home so that would be at the start of the problem and the person would be gone from there from then on.

>> “And for $6.42 on Amazon.com, why not? “ <<

You forgot the $5.00 shipping added on, and why bother with Skamazon when you can just go to Ace Hardware or Home Depot to get it for less?

You might wish to simplify your site.

I keep getting a warning flag after the site loads that says that IE can’t open the site. Clearing the flag clears the site off the screen.

You’ll get way more hits without the fancy frills that cause those flags.
