Water for drinking.

And the water heater can be tapped for water as well....
But I live in an RV so I just leave some water in the tank just in case. And if I see something big is coming, I flush it out and top it off fresh.
I'm finding a lot of "prepper" benefits to Rv living..

Yep. My way of 'prepping' has always been skills over stuff. It's not feasible to stock up a 3-yr supply of bottled water (stuff), but the pitcher setup enables (skills) the same long-term drinkable supply. Knowing where there's raw water nearby is also a good idea.

Nice Katadyn you're getting.
An extra filter or two and you'd be set for a long time.

Brawndo?

Brando is Brawndo mixed with brandy.
Highly recommended.

I've got a pool and buckets of chlorine tabs.

Honestly in total SHTF situations you want at least a "survival straw" type water filter.
Brittas are nice and all for tap water but I wouldn't want to depend on one in a polluted water situation.
Reverse osmosis works great too but needs power.

Well I grew up in a timber, building shelters and fires because we were too poor to have a Nintendo. I camped out a lot, but couldn't afford flashlight batteries, so I bought an old kerosene hurricane lantern instead. I've slept on the ground with a chunk of wood for a pillow more than I'd like to admit. I figure I have a leg up on a lot of folks.

I’ve been using a Berkey for five years and love it.

I’m the last one on the line of SUD water from Four Way Water in Huntington. My meter is 1/2 mile from my house and that last 1/2 mile is my responsibility.

The SUD over-chlorinates the water and it is constantly full of sand due to frequent breaks in the 30-plus miles from the provider to my tap.

The Berkey removes the sand AND the chlorine.

If you can’t afford the Berkey system, get a knockoff SS dispenser and order the Berkey Filters separately.

You won’t regret it.
