We are actually doing ok on this part. Water is one thing that concerns me most as we don’t have a nearby source should something happen and county water be unavailable. Based on the number in our household and estimating the usage at 3 gallons per person/per day, we have about 4 weeks. While I have not done a trial run, I think my estimate would be achievable.
I am also interested in how to handle water needs for outdoors – like for a garden. I have raised beds and have been considering some type of storage for outdoors. I know you could do rain catchment. Any ideas?

Hi everyone. I’m Donna. I was first interested in preparedness after 9/11. We traveled a lot then with two dogs and I read through all the resources issued by Homeland Security and Red Cross. About six years ago we moved and a friend I met there really opened the door to prepping for me. It was great to have someone to talk with about prepping. Two years ago we moved again to a more populated area and I stepped up the learning. I just want to have the knowledge I need to take care of my family and feel safe.
