My wife and I just had our first child not that long ago. Now it seems like I have about 30 empty gallon jugs of nursery water in the garage. Can I just fill these back up and put them in the basement, or do I have to clean them out with something and put purification tablets in with them? Also...

Hi everyone, been lurking for a while and learning all kinds of great stuff, getting to where I have a few questions for you more seasoned folks on here. My first is about food-grade water storage jugs. I was trolling my local China-Mart and picked up some 6-gallon "bpa-free" food-grade etc...

I'm trying to figure out the best place to store emergency supplies in my house; My main problem is the fact that the two most likely natural disasters to hit this area are either flooding or tornadoes, both of which require opposite storage locations. If I store in the basement, floods will...

Kind of new to the survivalist group. I was in my local camping store and they had some of those water storage containers that come in 5, 20, 30, and 50 gallon sizes (blue). They also had some 2.5 gallon ones made by Reliance but those leaked on my when I took them camping. My question, since...
