Be Prepared!

As I was working on this little task today I thought that I should blog about it. Some of you may be interested. I've been working really hard at getting our food storage together and I know that water is one of the most important elements. We just do not have room for one of those gigantic blue barrels (and if you have to leave in a hurry, how do you bring it along?).

So I found these cool cardboard boxes that hold 5 gallon bags of water. The package comes with 5 boxes, so you get a total of 25 gallons. One person needs at least one gallon a day. These rock because you can put them anywhere you have a little bit of spare room. And if you move, you empty the water out, collapse the boxes, and take them with you.

Here is what they look like. I was able to slide them under our guest room bed. If you're interested, go check them out.

An added bonus, when you are done using them for water, they convert into a toilet! ha!

Those are so cool. My mom has some of those I think. Way better than a huge barrel. Way to go on getting your food supply together. So on the ball. I love all those pictures of Gray. He is such a cutie.
