Oh, I agree. My concern is POTABLE water. We’d have no guarantee that water sources wouldn’t be contaminated.

I purchased several different methods of purifying or sanitizing water so I guess it dropped off my list as complete. Have a Berky, a portable Katadyn, those little bottles of Chloride crystals, and 3 lbs of calcium hypochlorite. Oh and also two 55 gal barrels to collect rain water.

Also, have plans to get a couple bags of the DE powder so I can build a 3 stage water filter among other things DE is good for.

I have plenty of gaps in other areas but I’m not too worried about potable water.

Which is why our forefathers boiled their water with malted barley and hops. ;)

George Washington had quite the brewery.
