The only real downside to barrels is the full weight and getting the water out when you need it.

I advise both small and large containers. Ill write more when im not on my phone

Thanks! I'm all ears on this subject.

We're on city water, so if we lose access to that for any reason we're in a world of hurt.
Those blue barrels- is it safe to buy them used, if I clean them out with bleach and water?

I saw the Aqua-tainers at Walmart, and I like those because you can stack them.

Aquatainers suck? Damn. So much for an easy-ish fix. I'll start looking around for containers like you've got pictured.

Bugged in (for me) is 1st option...
but, we're in the middle of nowhere Arap. Cty, on 300 ac. so it's easier for us.

And, I 100% agree with the fact that water is primary, and shelter then food.
(I got the firearms/ammo checked off already)
And no, I wont share!!....(trades will be considered...)

To beat a dead horse with the aquatainers. The plastic is thin and gets brittle with UV exposure. The spigot of 2 of mine leaked when left with water in them and facing in the "down" position. (it's a cube so it's hard to explain.) As Hbar explained they are hard to carry.

The spectr can pictured above is far superior. It's easier to carry 2 spectres thru things like doorways since they're thinner.

If you want to stack things get waterbricks.

If you need to be budget minded consider square 5 gallon food grade buckets. They stack and are easier to carry, and cheap.
Consider reusing any juice or soda bottles, you can get the trays they come in.

Never reuse anything that contained non food items. Also don't reuse milk product containers. Don't reuse biodegradable containers (milk type jugs)

Sportsmans sells 30 gallon blue barrels for water. A little easier is manage and tuck under a work bench in the garage. As long as you have any type of tubing, getting water out of containers should be the absolute least of your worries.

Stone 83, sounds like you've got a good situation.

Wulf202- I appreciate you sharing that information. You've saved me some money and aggravation, since I was going to pick up Aquatainers this weekend.

Irving, I didn't realize they came in more manageable sizes! A 30 galllon water barrel offers a lot more storage possibilities...
