Wow. Thanks for the help here. I laughed when I got to the end of the 3 month part. People couldn’t stay home for two weeks during covid. I’ll work on 3 weeks. As of tonight we don’t have that much water. We were without power due to high winds or several days and now we have the little fuel power led generator.

Water is tough to store. What I settled on was: - some water storage - remember you have a hot water tank with 40+ gallons - if you have warning, bleach and fill your bathtub for wash water and flushing toilets with a pail - a drip filtration system that can be filling a tank as you continue to make daily small quantity water runs to a local semi clean source. The bag, hose and filter setup I got from LifeStraw can filter up to 5000gal between filter changes

A covered wagon with 2 deep cycle marine batteries, a solar charge controller and a 1000W inverter and a cheap 2’x3’ solar panel is easy to assemble and takes care of all of your lighting, device recharges and low voltage stuff. I built something like this by building a cabinet on the front of a furniture dolly.
