Water Storage Tips

Some of you will be purchasing the big blue 55 gal. barrels
to put your water in to store.  I would try to keep this in your
basement or garage.  Leaving outsidewould be a last resort . 
  It is said that every 6 months you should test your water 
that you have stored if it is for drinking.  I would at least rotate
your water if it is kept in a cool dry place every 2 years. 

They say you can use 2 tablespoons of( non scented 
or non freshners )type bleach in  55 gallons of water.  
If not filling it all the way use discretion.

  1. If anyone would like some recipes for soup mixes to add to your storage, please let me know. They are made with dried food that you may already have in your storage plan. All the ingredients are easy to get and they taste really good. All you need to add is water, but meat can be added too! Fun and easy to make for a Family Home Evening project!
