Now...Let's talk about Places to get water...

Finding Water sources

So....The electricity is out, you do have supplies on hand, since you are following along and doing what I say....LOL.

But you need to look to the future.  Where can you find water to supplement what you have.

Let's look at obvious places...Hot Water tank, toilet tank, and ice from your freezer.  You could also access your water pipes and use that water as.

Now let's look outside.

Lakes, Rivers, and streams,  if you have access to any of these...that's great.  Remember you should never take water from a non-moving water source unless you are truly desperate.

Even taking the water from these sources means that you have to properly treat it to drink it.

Other sources:  Rain water, catchment systems(to be talked about later), and dew...yep, morning dew.  Get out a clothe and run it over the dew and wring it into a container.....voila - water.

Any other ideas?  Let me know!
