hope this helps
tap water imo shod be secondary to purified but hey they dont sell these things for nothing https://www.amazon.com/AquaPod-Kit-2-0-Emergency-Container/dp/B00W2BQRG6/ref=sr\_1\_2\_mod\_primary\_new?keywords=water+bob&qid=1667346470&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIzLjIwIiwicXNhIjoiMS44OSIsInFzcCI6IjEuNTUifQ%3D%3D&sbo=RZvfv%2F%2FHxDF%2BO5021pAnSA...
We're on a well with an electric pump and live in an area where the power gets shut off when there is a high risk of fire. (Local conspiracy rant is that PG&E shuts it off longer than necessary -up to a week- because they got blamed for fires several years ago and are punishing us.)
Stores run out of bottled water quick so we've accumulated, during non emergency times, about 50 of those square crystal geyser gallon jugs and stacked them up to cover the back of the storage closet up to the ceiling.
We also use one of those bathtub sized water storage bags that you fill up in the tub. they're sterile and not meant to be reusable if you're going to drink it, but we just use that water for flushing, so it's fine that it's non potable. https://smile.amazon.com/AquaPodKit-Emergency-Drinking-Storage-Gallons/dp/B00W2BQRG6/
It's not exactly a kit, but it is something I have in my home kit that I think is a must.
I bought the AquaPod. Good reviews, slightly cheaper, and made in the US. Haven't used it, so I cannot personally vouch for it.
Agree!! Plus, tub bags that don't need to be filled with water until an emergency. That'll save room.
Dehydrate your favorite meats and greens yourself. Or buy dehydrated food stores instead of trying to grow them. Anything green and healthy can be dehydrated and reconstituted with water.
Note: just used Amazon as an example.
Look into something like this:
Our main issue last year was water for general uses; flushing, hygiene, cleaning, etc. Since the tub doesn't "completely" seal and the water is exposed to the air, our "reserve" water went down quickly. This will also allow us to use our "tub water" for boiling/coffee/cooking/etc.
Look into a small camp stove, the kind that uses the 1lb propane/fuel bottles, have a few extra fuel containers handy in the event you can't use your stove. Make sure you have a traditional tea kettle for boiling water, it makes that cup of noodles easier to fill with boiling water...
We didn't have issues staying warm. We also have a well insulated home and lots of cold weather clothing, so that helped. Be prepared to create a "warm room" that is sealed off from the rest of the living area, hang sheets/blankets everywhere (especially over windows/doors) and create a layer of insulation to trap both body heat and the heat generated from whatever heater you have.
