Been there done that when I was a kid. What a pain in the ass that was. We hauled water from the neighbors in big milk cans. Then you use it very very very sparsely.

Nah, it’s not practical.

My water would start with bottled 50 gallons in jugs, plus 100 gallons in WaterBob in bathtub, then water barrels just outside back door put through a Berkey water purifier, then 250,000 gallons in swimming pool put through Berkey, with rain replenishing water barrels and pool.

Running water is accomplished by filling camp showers that have cut off switch, and hanging at kitchen sink, bathroom sinks, and in shower. Hot water is water in camp shower with temp. gauge on it and sit in sun, gets almost to boiling, use at whatever temp you want.
