I always kept bottled water around, but underestimated just how quickly it gets used up during an extended outage or emergency. Only in the last few years did I really start rotating water supplies, using food-grade containers, and learning about filtration systems like Berkey and Sawyer. I even experimented with makeshift filters, just in case.

Totally relate to this—should’ve started experimenting with solar panels way earlier. Keeping music gear and basic lights running off-grid is way trickier than I’d thought! Anyone else tried cobbling together DIY solar setups?

Don't even get me started on how fast people run through clean water for cooking and hygiene! Rotating the supply
