Water Storage

I’ve already said it’s hot. 

Water keeps us cool when it’s hot.

So Darrin and I decided to “play” in the water last night and fill up our 150 gallon water supply.

We filled up 20 of these 5 gallon Mylar bags…

put them in their boxes…

taped them up, and threw them down in the crawl space of our house.

We also filled up 10 of these blue 5 gallon jugs.

And yes, we did consider sleeping on the filled Mylar bags to help us stay cool. 

I’ve always wanted a water bed.

But man, 150 gallons?  We feel pretty good about ourselves!

Wow! 150 gallons! Water storage is where we probably lack the most. Do you mind if I ask what made you choose mylar bags and those storage containers? Do you know how long the water will last? I need to look at more water storage.
