Drinking Water

Couple questions regarding water purification tablets. I went to a sports/hunting store and they had many different brands but also different prices. You could get tablets from $5 to $12. Do people get the most expensive? The cheapest? Middle of the road? Clean water is something you want to make sure you get correct.

Also- in the post above it said keep in cool dry place. I was hoping to stick some in my car kit but this may not work. Has anyone ever kept water purification tablets in the car? Would it halve the shelf life?

 

2 words. Big Berkey.

 

I have read about Berkey's for years and I know that the survival store I go to is often sold out. I have never met anyone that has one and have often wondered if they are worth the investment.

 

Clean Potable water is always worth the investment.

The idea of being able to take water from the swamp running it through the Berkey vs. drinking it straight up with a bit of duck poo vs. dehydration?

If the day comes that you need to make the choice I'd invest in the Berkey today no matter the cost. They only seem expensive now that safe water is widely available in your AO for nearly nothing out of the tap. Just imagine the day when the water coming out of the faucet is unusable w/o subsequent treatment.

I hope I never see the day that I question the quality of my well water and don't need to use the berkey with the filters to have safe water. I'll pass it down to the grandkids in my will. Hopefully they won't need it either.

Remember, prepare for the worst, but pray for the best.

You only need to experience what drinking bad water will do to you ONE time and you will never forget it. That is if you survive. (Contaminated well, Minot North Dakota 1984 survivor.)
