Don’t forget that bleach has a shelf life of only 6 months for disinfecting water.

For those who can order such an item, I recommend a 55 gal. drum of sodium hypochlorite, 12.5%, (bleach).

That is the equivalent of over 200 gal. of ordinary bleach.

Great barter item. Just dilute it 3 quarts water and one quart bleach.

You can save money for years by buying one drum. It slowly loses potency, but it’s still amazingly cheap.

For those with a grain grinder, why not buy and store large quantities of cheap grain? If you can bake bread in quantity you can get rich while feeding the neighborhood.

I would trade a meal of beans, rice, and bread for a gallon of gasoline. With a few drums of gasoline, it’s off to the country to barter for more food.

I've read on other forums that Bleach and Hydrogen peroxide both loose their potency after a couple of years.....that is just what I read....

so, vinegar or very cheap alcohol is probably a way to have a disinfectant....
