Read about it on equipped.org.

Perhaps it’s because I live in Southern California, but of all the things I’m paranoid about being without, it’s water.

It’s more than just because the body needs it more than any amount of food, it’s also a convenience thing. The water mains is fairly unreliable, and I’ve been suddenly without water in my home so many times a year, that I hoard water. I have quite a few gallon containers of water that I store. A lot of it is stacked in my bathroom, and the rest is in my kitchen. Anywhere I can store it. But this is mainly for “convenience” water. Like filling to toilet tank to be able to actually flush the toilet a few times when without water for nearly a day at a time. Also for washing my hands and other hygiene things.

I keep a few gallons of water in the fridge as well for drinking.

Now I’m thinking of hoarding the ultimate emergency stash. For earthquake or other natural disaster scenarios.

Anyone have experience with Aqua Blox or other products like it?

I like that it’s sterile and can be used to rinse wounds, eyes, etc.

What’s a good place to buy in bulk for a great price?

Maybe I should get some water purification tablets for making the “potable” water I store for bathroom use to be more drinkable as well.
