I have a emergency kit in each vehicle.

I have a 5 person, three day get away emergency kit (food, water, shelter, first aid) in a tub that doubles as a toilet.

I have a months worth of food (MREs and freeze dried) and water in 5 gallon bins that are good for 5 years.

I have two weapons and thousands of rounds of ammo.

I think I need more food and water.

I've been wondering about water storage. Maybe you can help me. Is it ok to store tap water? If so, in what and for how long? I'm starting to build a disaster cache for my family. But I'm not sure what the best strategy is for water. Can I simply rinse and reuse gallon milk containers?

Do you guys think it's important to have some sort of a "non-potable" type storage as well for rinsing/washing etc?

A 5 gallon plastic bucket works wonders. You can get a toilet lid that fits from Cabelas it or just buy a second lid and cut a hole in it. Be sure to take plastic bags to line the bucket with before using.
If you have room, go to a thrift store and buy a portable toilet for handicapped persons. they are great in hunting camps. If the originl plastic bucket is missing set a 5 gal bucket under.

don’t forget tissue paper and soap! Several rolls.
