Back to Basics - Water

Back to Basics: Water - Ep 226

• Back to Basics Series: A 12-part series covering essential areas of preparedness to build a strong survival foundation.
• This Episode: Kicking off with water — the most critical survival resource.

Episode Highlights

• Why Water Matters: You can only survive 3 days without it. It’s essential for drinking, hygiene, cooking, and first aid.
• How Much You Need: At least 1 gallon per person per day — more in hot climates or during high activity.
• Finding Water: Natural sources (rivers, lakes, rainwater), household sources (water heater, outdoor spigots), and creative options (dew collection, roof runoff).
• Purifying Water: Boiling, filters, purification tablets, and UV devices — always have backups.
• Storing Water:
  • Short-Term: Store 2 weeks' worth per person in food-grade containers.
  • Long-Term: Use 55-gallon drums or water bricks and rotate every 6–12 months.

Takeaway:

• Water is life — store it, purify it, and plan ahead.

Challenge:

• Check your water supply this week — how much do you have stored, and is it enough?
