For emergency water, check out http://www.waterbob.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. I have one for each bathtub.

Also, dont forget to have empty containers around so you can drain your hot water heaters into them.
I have a 40 and a 50 gallon hot water heater. That gives me 90 gallons of potable water plus a regular bathtub and a gardren tub.

You made me question my math so I double checked.

Beef Stroganoff:

Pouch = 4.8 oz. = $5.95 = .81 per oz.

#10 can = 20.2 0z. = $28.29 = .71 per oz.

Not as big a savings as I thought and the pouches make for quick preperation.
But, #10 cans are a lot easier to store.

Great thing about the MH, is that you can buy a pouch for about $5-6 and try it out for dinnner.
If you like it, you can buy a #10 (a lot bigger) for less.

I buy at the website mentioned before (no affiliation) but I think Costco carries a 10 pack of MH pouches too.

Agree with WildBill.

The Sawyer .02 can filter thousands of gallons of water. I bought 2.

Worst case, I can just rough filter and boil water.

The Mountain House pouches and #10 cans I am buying have an expiration date of 2035-2037.

I have heard that Costco claims a certain "serving" count but the "calorie" count is REALLY low for the price.
In survival food, calorie count is key.

I like Mountain House pouches. They are little more expensive but are REALLY easy to use and taste good enough that we eat them when we dont feel like cooking.
We kinda treat them like frozen dinners.

Through a ton of research, I only buy from http://www.beprepared.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. They have the best prices, cheap shipping and monthly specials.

Clean water is key. I have heard both good and bad about Berkey systems. I chose to go with a Sawyer .02 micron set up.

I dont think I can post other forums on here so PM if you want more info on a really good site.
