Iâve done a trip with one of these things. Theyâre neat. I didnât even know they were a thing and when I saw it, it felt like something out of a movie (not water world, though, we didnât treat that water.

Reminds me of an episode of a short-lived show called The Raft. Watching the difference between the team that used one of these and the team that decided to use âalternative methodsâ 
was really startling (and scary)!

Iâm trying to get my head around what anyone would be storing a yearâs supply of water for.
Any disaster that keeps me away from potable water for a year is to me a disaster that is either non-recoverable from or at very least a sign that my current location is uninhabitable and I should move.
What kind of disaster are people envisaging that a yearâs supply makes any sense?

Zombie apocalypse? The nukes flying?
Really- I think people have an idea that theyâll have to fort up and protect themselves from their neighbors. When if it does get that bad - cooperation and preparation is what saves you after the excrement hits the oscillating air conveyance.
Stocking up for an emergency is a good idea. And can help outside of emergencies if the economy tanks, thereâs a pandemic, you get sick or lose employment. Not helping each other if everything breaks down is a living death. And a short one at that. That stockpile wonât last forever.

That is what far too many of those prepper types donât get. Yes, being prepared and having what you need to survive on-hand matters⌠but human beings are built for community. We need each other to survive. A family alone isnât going to get far without larger community support.

Better add in a very good first aid kit to your stockpile.

FWIW, I really like this one for my regular outdoor adventures:
And I could use my Medical Bennies card to buy it.

Ok, itâs time to name and shame the execs involved. A boycott sounds good, too.
the company rejected the Department of Laborâs claims, suggesting children may have lied about their age.

Although i live in a very Republican area, it is also a rural, agricultural one where helping neighbors is deeply engrained into the community ethos. I donât vote like most of my neighbors, but we all help each other out whenever there is a need. The idea of solo survival is a myth. No one can have all the skills and knowledge needed for even a short term disaster. The derecho of last decade showed that, and how quickly people can come together here. I feel bad for those who have bought into the âlone wolfâ narrative. I feel worse if they have drug their families into it as well.

Or a doc who knows how to work with what can be grown and made locally! (Again, community. Medical stuff? Thatâs all me. Anything mechanical? Umm, i know what a wrench isâŚ)
