Thanks LJ. I’ll check out all of that. I need to do something. I worry about the power grid, etc. We are rural and have always been set up better than most town people but with him unable to do a lot, it’s left up to me. I let him handle the “man stuff” and need to learn and get more prepared.
When it comes to growing food, canning, dehydrating, etc., that’s my territory. Now I need to learn the man stuff. :-)
Seriously, the large water tanks are excellent. When electricity goes off around here, which it has sometimes for a week esp in the winter with snow storms, we always have water when no one else does. Everyone around here has wells except in the “city” (1000 residents I think) a few miles down the road. No power means no pressure tank either but we have two faucets that are gravity fed.
Also since there are a lot of wildfires around here, DH has a set up to access water tanks so he can fight any fire on our property.
When he bought the tanks they were about $1 per gallon capacity, who knows what they are now, or in your area. We do not use for drinking or cooking even though they are graded for potable water; he has a 900 gallon stainless steel tank (used to be a milk tank) he pump the well separately for drinking and cooking, and a gravity faucet for that one.
